simmo.

If it helps at all I don't they raitwater and bell albinos are at all commonly sold in petshops. Tyically if you buy it online you would be told what morph it is.

i did buy it online i got 2 more(of the same strain) its just this ones differant i am just trying to see if i got ripped off thats all.
simmo.
anyone any ideas??????

It looks like a....

Tremper to me. Here's mine

 

[Monte]

It's sort of hard to tell just by a picture . . .

. . . it could be a tremper, LV or a Bell. I think Bell have very distinctive eyes - but that isn't even proof. The only proof I think you can have is by breeding it and see what happens.

 

[CoolGecko]

I am 99% sure it is Tremper because of their coloration

 

[Manhattan Herps]

yep

Thats definatly without a doubt a tremper

 

[KelliH]

Hmmmm

Very hard to say for sure. I have hatched Bells that look similar so it may or may not be. Only well to tell for sure is to prove it out by breeding to a Bell or Het, like Monte said earlier.

I'd say 'light phase' Bell albino.
There don't seem to be enough squigglies for a Tremper, and too distinct banding for the LV/Rainwaters I've seen. That leaves Bells. Yours matches up nicely with the light phase Bell at Painted Desert Geckos - top right picture in the Bell section

sooo...

What was is sold as? Who sold it to you? That could make a big difference in whether you got 'ripped off'....

 

[simomthegeckoma]

hi guys.
the leo in the pic was sold to be buy a reptile dealer here in the uk(it is supposed to be a bell the dealer got it from mark bell at the ham show in germany i dont know if mark went to germany
that why i was asking)hope this helps!
simmo.

 

[diablohogs]

i would have guessed a rainwater honestly because of the soft coloration. it looks awfully clean for a bell.

Mark Bell Breeds Bell Albinos and Tremper Albino and I never hear about Rainwaters from him... Last time I talked to him he said he does not breed Rainwater and if it is from Mark Bell and it is likely to be Tremper becasue Mark Bell sells Tremper Albino at cheap prices and does not sell alot of bell out of USA but limted than Tremper are... Only way is to improve with your Bell Albino male you has... You are lucky to get Bell in UK... Alot of people bought Albinos from Mark Bell and they are actually Trempers unless the cumoster asks for Bell Albino and you would need ask this breeder... Does he buy as it Albino or Bell Albino... Most of time the Albinos Mark Bell marks are Trempers Albinos.

i asked for bell albinos and when i got them they came in little round tubs saying bell albinos(i have 3)look at the post a few topics down its one of my bells lol
yes they are still rare here in the uk.
this one is just differant from the other two lol
simmo.

 

[robin d.]

what color are its eyes?

 

[geckossupreme]

There is no way

There is no way to know what type of albino it is. The Best way to know is asking the breeder, or by trying to breeding her with the three different types. If you hatch an albino then you can decide between the three choices.

hi robinb
the geckos eyes are sort of gold with red in them(thats what makes me think its a tremper!!)the other bells i have there eyes are sort of grey,silver with red vains hope this helps
simmo.

 

[robin d.]

well we now know one thing for sure. it is NOT a bell albino... bell albinos clearly have pink eyes with redveins... they look like what you would expect an albinos eyes to look like.... so either now down to remper or rainwater and i would be willing to bet tremper

 

[1derfool]

From what 'real Bell' breeders have told me, adult Bell albinos don't have the red eyes. Apparently the red hatchling eyes fade to pink or creamy pink over time. Depending on the observer's interpretation, it could easily be "sort of gold with red in them" depending on the stage of change they're at.
Doing an online search for Bell albino pictures has produced several light phase Bells which look like this gecko. I'm sticking with that guess. I breeder Tremper and Rainwater albinos, and none of the ones I've seen look like that gecko, the colour and pattern just don't match up to the thousand or so Ts and RWs I've seen.

adult Bell albinos don't have the red eyes

My adult Bells have pink eyes. Very distinctively.

As far as Mark Bell doing a show in Germany, he does frequently do shows over in Europe. I would be interested in seeing a picture of the animals head, showing the eyes too
