variations in albinos

gooofycivic Oct 07, 2009 12:08 PM

i bought a bell albino female and she is way lighter in color than my male bell albino...almost looks like a tremper albino...my question is do males and females display different colors and how much of a variation do these albinos have....thanks for looking

The coloring also has a lot to do with incubation temps and temps in their enclosure for the first year. Could be he was incubated at a lower temp. Mine are nice and light and are trempers.

My thoughts exactly. I've seen some Albinos incubated at such a low temp, there bands were a chocolate color. Obviously all females. They were actually marketed as Chocolate Albinos at one time.

If you look at Ron Tremper's site he has some info on heat relating to coloring. Most of my leopard geckos are on the lighter side because I keep them pretty warm with a good amount of cool space if they want it.
