Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Can someone explain to me what "cooled" and "browning"
is? I've heard these terms before but I'm absolutely clueless
about it..
TIA

Trempers animals are always pictured as being bright orange, yellow, or even one of the two with large amounts of almost red scattered throughout their bodies. Alot of the time, this isn't going to be the case as the animal matures.
The "Browning" part comes into play with the fact that for some reason this certain blood line tends to turn to a darker looking albino as the animal matures... Alot of the time it's either the pink or the white that turns to a muddy brown color (from what I've seen anyway).
Cooling is when you lower the temperatures that your geckos are accustomed to. This tends to act like a winter cooling period, and thus some breeders do this so that their animals have a better breeding season. As the geckos get colder their colors tend to darken up as well.
Hope this made sense...

It can happen to all morphs to an extent... The actual breeding season can cause a very, very bright colored gecko to darken up a variable extent.

Muddy Brown?
Hi- I have been reading this thread with much interest as i have a trio of tremper albionos that have not darkened up with age.
The older two m/f are a little over a year old. The second female in the trio is aprox. 9 months old and here are their pics?
At what age do the Leos previously referred to start to darken up?
Just wondering
Sandy

This is exactly why I'm hesistant on purchasing an albino/tremper.
Like you, I don't appreciate nor like the dark colors.
Thank you for posting..
As of today, I've yet to see one picture of an adult albino tremper staying white. I think Marcia's going to prove me wrong tho
