![]() ![]() The second simple recessive mutation to occur was a beautiful form of albinism. He has now made the Diablo Blancos and is working on Super R.A.P.T.O.R.s (Super Snow RAPTORs). For example, Ron Tremper has developed the R.A.P.T.O.R. Since Tremper Albinos were the first strain of leopard gecko Albinos to be discovered, they are very common and usually the first strain to be worked with when crossing into other morphs. The Tremper Albino eyes tend to be a silver color with red veins. Tremper Albinos can range in colors from dark browns to light yellows, oranges, and pinks. Tremper Albinos, also known as Texas Strain Albinos, were the first of the three strains of Albinos to be discovered in 1996 by Ron Tremper. Since it only affects the melanin pigmentation, albino leos can still show orange, yellow and brown coloring. Albinism in leopard geckos is apparently slightly different, because they are not true albinos but rather extreme amelanistics, which roughly means that they produce virtually no melanin, but still have the potential capability to do so (because all strains do in fact have tyrosinase). Leopard geckos have three types of pigmentation, contained in three different types of cells: melanophores, which contain black pigment (melanin) xanthophores, which contain red, yellow or orange pigment and iridophores, which contain crystalline materals that reflect and refract light.Īlbinism is usually when animals cannot produce melanin because they lack the essential enzyme tyrosinase. That can be a confusing mess to sort out later! It is absolutely critical to be aware which line specimens to be used for breeding programs are from, use of more than one type will result in normal appearing geckos, and if bred together, these may then produce offspring of either or both types. All three are tyrosinase positive forms, and are so similar in appearance they cannot be separated visually with 100% certainty. Specifies any terms which have not been overridden by this Seller's stated policy.Three distinct forms of albinism are well-established in Leopard Geckos.
