I would say Tremper. I can see how it would be confusing though. It's not brown or white like most Trempers, but looking at the tail, and body shape makes me really think it's Tremper. Most Rainwaters seem to have really light tail patterns.

I say RainWater
I just hapen to have one that looks very similar to yours and it looks nothibng like my Trempers. The shade of yellow is completely different-the bands are not breaking up at all and the body shape is a bit different too-more elongated.

It seems to me that unless you know the genetic background of the albino, it's really hard to tell what is what. You really can't go by color.

it also depends on where you got it from, if its from a petstore, it's most likely a Tremper, if it was purchased from a breeder i would suggest contacting them

Petstores dont normally sell Rainwater albinos

It looks like a Rainwater to me. You should be able to tell by looking at the eye color.

It looks more like a Tremper to me. It's hard to say for sure though. Where did you get the gecko? Also, like Olivia was saying, you can usually tell by they eyes. Does it have reddish eyes, or do they look more grey in color? Rainwaters tend to have a more greyish colored eye.

I got her from a breeder.I'm not home at the moment...but when I get home I will look fro her number and Check her eyes as well.I think I will have to ask her fro a pic of the parents.I know it was aan albino and a normal het for albino.I don't think she said if it was tremper or not.At the time i was just starting out with getting leos and I don't think I asked what type of albino(guess I should have asked that then)Thanks for all your help
