Who created the albino morph called Tremper?How? Who created the albino morph called Bell?How? Who created tha albino morph called Rainwater?How?

Tremper was created by Ron Tremper.

visit www.leopardgecko.com for more info on his bloodline.

Albino leo lines were origonally created by accident. You breed geckos on a large scale and end up with an albino baby. When that baby grows up you'd have to breed it back to one of it's parents depending on sex. The hatchlings from this breeding will have a higher chance of carrying the reccesive albino gene. Through this process you can create gecko's that will breed albino offspring on a regular basis because both parents have the reccesive gene.

If the baby was albino as a hatchling then the parents were probably hets but a baby could also have had a mutation to turn it albino.
That is how the first morphs for any specie occured.

they're more "discovered". You can't really "create" a living thing (unless you're "god" in which case I can't help you since I don't believe in such a thing as I'm an atheist with a vengence).

The names for the strain of albino tell you who found them, Ron Tremper found the Tremper albino, Rainwater found the Rainwater albino, Bell found the Bell Albino. I guess that's to give the people credit for finding it.

An albino is an animal with a genetic defect resulting from a pair of recessive genes that cause a pigment reduction, in the broadest sense of the definition.

It's not a pair of recessive genes...its a pair of recessive alleles for one gene
