Thanks again for the reply, Dedalus. So what morph, other than albino, can I breed to my albino leopard gecko and have the result be something other than just normals?

The only way to get something other than normal out of an albino (assuming it isn't het for anything) is to breed it with another albino or a het for albino (which would give you half albinos and half normals).

1.3.1 leos
-0.1 tangerine het rainwater albino w/jungle background (Blinkers)

-0.2 jungles (Vahz & Skissor)

-0.0.1 albino (supposed Tremper)(Spitfire)

-1.0 tangerine rainwater albino (Bronx)

The only thing you might be able to bring out without a second albino is a line bred trait. Tangerine, High Yellow, Jungle, Striped, Hypo etc. That will have a slim chance of showing up and I mean slim. Then all of those offspring would be het albino, if you breed those back the the origanal albino you'll again get a 50/50 split but with a possibility of the line bred trait IE albino tangerines, once again a slim chance.

If you want to start seriously breeding morhps I'd suggest to seperate bloodlines with the same basic parentage. Have two seperate albino/tang bloodlines so that you can cross breed your offspring to like hets without inbreeding but still have the same outcome. Rather than have one male and 6 females go for 2 males and 3 females each. You'll get the same ammount of eggs but two seperate gene pools so if needed you can interbreed to get what you want.

I thought that if you bred two same line albinos together, you would get straight albinos. I thought that the normal looking ones only happened when you cross likes like Rainwater and Tremper. So if I breed Tremper to Tremper, I would get normals het Tremper?

other word, Rainwater is hard to make them to be intnsene Tangerine as Tremper and Bell. I bred them I notice that rainwater is harder to create nice Tangerine.

Tremper to Tremper yes you'll get albino offspring. But if your trying to add a line bred trait like tangerine you need to cross breed because you'll end up with hets.
