The leopard gecko, a little fairy with colorful genetic mutations, actually has three albino genes.

The albino mutated gene is actually a pathological gene. Many artificial pets will have defects such as albino. Sometimes it is in line with human aesthetics, and their albino characteristics are retained.

Currently, three different albino genes have been discovered in leopard geckos, namely Trump albino, Bell albino and rainwater albino. Since they are all alleles, they cannot be expressed at the same time. That is to say, when different albino pairs are paired, non-albino individuals with melanin will appear and carry two different albino genes at the same time. Such a pairing is meaningless. .

Trump albino Tremper albino

Tremper albino, abbreviated in China TA or Sichuan Bai. Orange-white also refers to Trump's albino color, which is more orange in color.

Trump albinism was discovered and named by Mr. Trump (Ron Tremper) in 1996. Trump albino is the first leopard gecko albino gene discovered. The albino gene causes the geckos to lose melanin and make the yellow parts of their bodies brighter. Their eyes are a special kind of albino eyes.

After so many years, Trump Albinism has become the most common albino mutation gene. There have also been many selective breeding and genetic combinations of Trump albino.

The more common strain is Sunshine. Sunshine is just a commercial name, its essence is Trump Albino, but by pairing it with radish, a new strain is formed. Simply put, it is an albino version of radish, and it is the earliest albino strain without spots.

Generally, the sunshine mentioned in the market refers to Trump’s albino sunshine.

Sunshine is a strain that can be continuously selected and bred. The more famous one is Auburn Sunshine, developed by THE URBAN GECKO from the United States. breeding.

Rainwater albinoRainwater albino

Rainwater albino ( Rainwater albino is one of my personal favorite albino. Also known as Las Vegas albino, it is an albino that is very similar to Trump albino but significantly different.

The most basic body color of rainwater albino is goose yellow with brown markings, but the depth of the markings is basically the same Not affected by incubation temperature. His eyes are darker than Trump's albino ones. Trump bleaching and rain bleaching are sometimes difficult to distinguish.

Rainwater albino also has orange-colored selection, called firewater

Bell albino

Bell albino is the latest albino to be discovered among the three major albino leopard geckos. The gene is also a relatively special albino gene. The albino gene is very easy to identify due to maroon spots and albino eyes, usually accompanied by some scattered spots on the chin.

Bell Albinism and many different mutant genes will bring about ideal results. When combined with the orange gene, it will also improve faster than the other two types of albino.

So many breeders who choose to breed will choose Bell Albino as their breeding target.

Although albino people are more afraid of it Light, but Bell albino is the most afraid of light. It will close its eyes when there is a little bit of light.

The upper left is Bell's bleaching, the lower left is Trump's bleaching, and the right is Rain's bleaching.

Albino individuals are no stranger to the mutation of leopard geckos~ As the boss of Geckos ETC, a major leopard gecko manufacturer, said.
