Whats the difference between blizzards, snows, patternless, albinos etc. they all look so similar. The blizzards look like the rolled in dirt. But whats the difference between all of them?
They all seem so similar.

Albino - Lack of pigment, usually just very light colored... can still have patterns and such though... I believe they have white eyes as well...

Blizzards And Snows - Both are generally a solid light color like white... And I think Blizzards have black spots

Patternless - No pattern like spots and etc... Still has colors unlike Blizzards IIRC

Blizzards are all white, sometimes with a tint of yellow. No spots, usually.

Snows are all white, sometimes with a tint of yellow, with spots.

um you guys are missing that blizzard is a recessive trait and snow is just a lighter color from selective breeding.

no.. blizzards are all solid white-yellowish white, snows are white geckos with black spots and varying amounts of yellow in the body.. they lack spots. the is a recessive trait

the snow is a line bred trait....think like the tangerine color..

that is why yellow still shows up.. and hence like the super hypo tang. commandinga higher price.. so do the Whiter snows..

to make it more confusing.. some ppl refer to snows as pastels or hypopastels..
