guess the morph!!

All leopard geckos... albino included, will have changes in the eye coloration and intensity throughout it's life. The only way whatsoever beyond the previously mentioned "breeding test" is to take the geckos to a lab, snip the tips of the tails and have the DNA checked.

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

i have and breed "real bells"... i currently keep 1.6 adult bells... bought directly from mark bell and kelli hammack (whom produces "real bells" too... she bought her original stock from mark) and other than kelli and mark the only other large breeder of bell albinos is jodi aherns.
now everyone of my adults have distinctively PINK eyes with red veins and pupils... they are born this way and remain this way... i also have sevral bell hatchlings as well.. that i produced here... "real bells" no matter the body color light or dark orange creme pink or yellow they ALL have the same distinctive pink eyes that bells carry throughout their lifetime.


i would suspect all the "real bell breeders " know this as well..... i know several people this year and last selling tremper albinos as bell albinos because they bought them from mark bell. assuming he only bred his line, which is untrue he works with all three strains of albino.
here are some pictures of some "real bell albinos"

these first two purachsed directly from kelli hammack

these four purchased directly from mark bell at last years daytona expo

these two below are two of the ones purchased directly from mark as adults or rather sub adults

the following are two (and het bell) that were produced here from some of these animals

now while they are all unique and differ in color and pattern ONE thing is the same in every single one... the trademark pink bell albino eyes..... from babies to adults

and just FYI...
i am a small breeder/hobbiest that breeds"real bell albinos" ... i got some other real albinos too but none are tremper and i even have some real genetic stripes and some other stuff too, thats real, but thats besides the point

trempers have pink eyes with red viens as well. not all of them but than again i have a hard time believing EVERY bell has the same colored eyes.

my giant tremper albino has distinctivly pink eyes with red veins in them.

robin,
that second one down and the carrot head baby are awesome.

chad while some tremper are born with red or pink eyes they do not normally stay.... i have seen alot of bells and every single one has those bell albino pink eyes.. the howeveryman bells kelli has (its alot at times) and what i saw on mark bells table and in deli cups last year at daytona ( ALOT) every single one had pink eyes and they keep those same pink eyes into adulthood

 

[diablohogs]

well from the looks of what you posted they seem to be taking very well to the addition of tangerine.

bells...in time... just may prove to be the better albino.

the docile demeanor of the tremper giant albino sure is interesting though. they constantly act as if they are enjoying a siesta. but apparently they grow out of that.

my tremper albino giant that i have with the nice red eyes is still relatively young at only 3 months old (and a wopping 37 grams) so its hard to say if she will keep the eye color. once she reaches a year old i will probably have a better idea.

chad i actually have two tangerine bells , the one pictured and another one, and that is the result of only one generation of tangerine being bred into the bell line... they do hold the orange very well

THE EYES GIVE THEM AWAY!

I am working with all three strains. I had a couple more rains hatch out the other day and for a split second thought I had hatched out two more Bells! Thats what makes the Bells so distinct is their eyes! Bell albino's eyes are the most distinct looking of all three morphs HANDS DOWN. Once you have seen them you never forget them. I also have noticed some of my trempers have a nice looking red veined eye whereas my rainwaters have a more blueish looking eye. Once again though. YOU CANNOT MISTAKE A BELL'S EYES! THEY ARE GORGEOUS!

 

[robin d.]

exactly chad.(blaze)............
and chad (diablo) yes a could of us are working on that might be a couple years dunno we shall see

 

[diablohogs]

so really the bell blazing blizzard makes a lot more sense.
