Ok these 2 hatched last week and doing just great. The one on the left in the pic is completly black and white, no other coloring what so ever! It came from a cross between a Tangerine carrot tail( all orange female) and a Jungle het for paternless and it also carries carrtt tail gene. So not really sure what it is.

The other one came from a Las Vegas Albino (female) and a Yellow Giant het for albino(Camlon stock). So it would be het for albino but it also is orange and I am not sure what type of albino the yellow giant was het for. So what would you call it??

That would also make the baby Las Vegas. You can't cross two types of albino (like a Tremper x Vegas cross) and get albino. The only way to get the albino offspring would be if both animals were carryng the same albino gene. Unless your female is actually a het for another gene or the seller told you the wrong albino, the baby is Vegas.

As for the leo on the left... that would be what people call a 'snow' leo. However...not all babies born that color stay that color. Most end up looking like normal adults. Keep an eye on it tho. You might end up with a pale gecko after all. I had two hatch out like that. One is a a normal colored adult now. The other is almost all black/white/grey with a light tint of yellow on the legs. Snow is a very hard to breed trait. Not many breeders have a good stock of them.
