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.

Sure, we can all get along but there is nothing wrong with having a discussion, be it heated or not ;-)
I apologize for the "correction" about the T.-, I just wanted to be informative, a lot of people probably do not realize that all 3 strains are T+. Tremper himself was convinced his strain was T- for quite a long time.
I wish there was a T- albino leopard gecko out there. Can you imagine how beautiful it would be?

I found the following information on a site called the the GAPS INDEX:
Recent research has used analysis of DNA, the chemical which encodes genetic information, to arrive at a more firm classification system for albinism. Type 1 albinism (also called tyrosinase-related albinism) is the type involving almost no pigmentation. Type 1 albinism results from a genetic defect in an enzyme called tyrosinase. This enzyme helps the body to change the amino acid tyrosine into pigment. (An amino acid is a "building block" of protein, and comes from protein in the diet.) Type 2, a type with slight pigmentation, results from a defect in a different gene called the "P" gene.
T + = Tyrosinase Positive Albinism (Type II)
T - = Tyrosinase Negative Albinism (Type I)
Cool stuff.
Regards,
Terry

let's stay on topic...

Now, this thread is about what people have spent for leos; not why Tremper albinos turn brown. It's a moot point in this thread and I'm just simply not going to continue on as it is off topic.

Thank you, Chris! The original post was about the most ever spent on a leopard gecko, NOT albino strains. With that in mind, the most I have ever spent on a gecko was $250, but I think my husband paid about $400 for my 'birthday gecko', Flaming Janis, he bought from Kelli.
