Santa Clause is Coming
He's makin' a list and checkin' it twice, He's bringin' a leo to a girl that's real nice...
I picked this one up at a chain pet shop today  but I just couldn't resist the deal.
Can you guys help me identify the morph? Albino obviously, but is there a way to be more specific without lineage? I mean I gotta make it sound like Santa knows wtf he's talkin' 'bout, right?
Sorry for the crappy pics. Between the ceiling fan, the Christmas lights, and the homoerotic activities of my dogs I just could not get a decent pic of the squirming gecko.
Here is my daughter's current gecko. He's six month's old and I don't remember his name. Rokah maybe? But she has gotten him to this point alone. I rarely ever have to remind her to care for him and her interest seems to only grow. Look at the fat tail, good Girl!
I'm so proud!

Re: Santa Clause is Coming
The first is a Bell albino, the second looks like a normal that was incubated too cool.

Why do you say it was incubated too cool?

Color. Leopard geckos that are incubated too cool have a darker, muddier color. They also can develope slower.

He was incubated at 84 degrees. To produce males temps have to be a little higher, remember? Contrary to some beliefs I don't think incubation temps have much to do with color. I think genetics plays the bigger part.

To produce males, they have to be incubated lower for the first three weeks of incubation. Good breeders will then increase the incubation temperature to produce more vibrant colors.
Incubation temperatures have so much to do with color in leopard geckos. This is a tried and true method.

Show me the proof for this tried and true method.
BTW what part of my gecko is showing muddy color? He is bright yellow and his spots are clearly defined.

So people are faking things then eh? Sounds like "bad" breeder to me.
I thought people figured out leopard breeding 15 years ago when the albinos were still thousands?
Why do people tinker with stuff for no other reason than money? Glad to see it isn't just ball pythons people are shady in It isn't even TRUE genetics then since apparently it's all based on temperature. I'd be really interested in reading this. I like to update my knowledge base every so often

Re: Santa Clause is Coming
I've always thought it was a standard rule NOT to mess with stable temps during incubation.
