Sorry, it does not looks like Rainwater Albino... Where you got him from? He is likely to be Tremper Albino

I got him from a friend of mine who originally purchased him as a Rainwater 2 years ago... What makes you think he isn't a Rainwater?

Rainwater (Which is what he was bought as) Tremper or even Bell? Because he looks alot like some of the Bell's I've seen...but I still believe he's Rainwater. From what I've read.. the lack of brown's in Rainwaters isn't always the case...

It looks a lot more like a Tremper, than any other strain. The only way to know for sure is to breed it to a Bell, a Rainwater, and a Tremper. Whichever pairing you get albinos from is what strain it is...

I'm thinking Tremper as well. He's definitely not a Bell.

Too much brown and head pattern.
Tim Rainwater took alot of people's money before the robberies that caused him to lose his business. He could have reembursed them for the money they foolishly put up for animals that weren't even hatched yet, but he didn't. Still, that doesn't make him a conman. If a company gives you a "lifetime" warranty then goes out of business before you die, then are they conmen?

His pattern & color look just like my Tremper Albinos.

Where did your friend buy him from?

She bought it from a guy at a table behind her at a show 2 years ago near Missouri... It was a really sucky show I guess and she only sold 5 lizards.. The guy was originally selling him as a Rainwater for $60 at that show...She doesn't know his name...So I dunno... I'll probably end up getting a het of each Albino and breeding him to them... to figure out which he really is. Cause there's a page out there with really nice geckos that show Bells that look just like him.. and a few Rainwaters that look just like him too...

A lot of people messes the right Strian and once you own everyone from repubale breeder and you can see differnce and I am very sure it is not Bell not Virbant as other Bell I seen in person and it is too dark for rainwater albino... I hatch many Rainwater albnio at 80 dgree and all was females and darker than male but more pink or purple than males... I know one scammer that sells Tremper Albino as Rainwater Albino with 4 possbile hets 2 years ago and it might him sold to your firend. Bell are differnt looking than Tremper. Shoot I has to take pic and need an Dark Phase Tremper Albino so I can show it better to Bell Albino.
