They come from dif. genetic lines. Ron Tremper was the first to figure out its genetic. One just poped up one day and he started breeding them to make more. Same with the rainwater albinos. One of those was randomly born and he started his own line. They also look a little dif. the tremper eyes start red but lighten when the leo is older, I think rainwater albinos stay red.

well most trempers have red/pink eyes but not all. Rainwaters have regular/silver looking eyes. Thats the best I can do to tell you myself I can't tell the differance other than that unless it is a real nice clean adult rainwater you can tell then by it's looks
