Bells, Rainwaters and trempers albinos are the basic albino. They are the albino version of the normal leopard gecko. Tang albinos have been selectively bred for the past few years for the tangerine characteristics. Chocolate albinos are just albinos with a lot more brown on them. Then there are the double hets like blazing blizzards and patternless albinos which were produced by crossing the two traits and then breeding their offspring. I hope this answers your questions!

bells, rainwaters, and trempers are strains of albino. meaning that mark bell, tim rainwater, and ron tremper hatched out the first albinos around the same time, and the resultant lines of albinos came from those three. it has been proven that the rainwater & tremper strains are albinos controlled by differnet genes. the chocolate, on the other hand, is any albino that is dark & chocolate-y in color (instead of pink).
