Question Question about Albino strains

Hello all!
I just had some questions about the different albino strains.
How can you definitively tell them apart? I am pretty sure I can recognize a tremper..but I'm still all confused. Rainwater and Las Vegas albinos are one in the same, correct? And then what about bells?
Sorry if this is sort of a newbie question, but I was just curious.
Thank you!

RW and LasVegas are the same, if you search some you will see why they are called different names. Presten, at CoolGeckos.com also has an explanation on his site.

The bells are commonly identified by their bold pattern and red to pink eyes.

The only way to definitively tell which strain you have in many cases is to do a test breeding.

Normal bells are east to tell apart, they have a relatively dark pattern and light pinkish eyes. Once you get into hybinos, I'd be hard pressed in many cases to say which is which since some light tremper hybinos can also have very red eyes. Rainwaters tend to have a very faded pattern, but I've seen a few with very distinct patterns, and I've also seen trempers with faded patterns. I kind of think of rainwaters and bells as being on two opposite ends. They're easy to tell apart. Trempers, however, seem to fill up the middle and have regions of overlap with each.

You can kind of get a feel for the different strains by looking at lots of pictures. But, I've seen lots of pictures, and have leos of all three strains, and there are a few that I've seen that still have me stumped.
