[Eve Saint]

She is so well behaved for her photos!

 

[LeoLover1]

She knows she's beautiful!

Wow she's so cute! Do you know what morph she is?

 

[Josh2]

Very cute photos! Thanks for sharing!

 

[Ruby]

Love her (non-)colouring!

 

[Eve Saint]

Im pretty sure that she is a blazing blizzard. She also has snake eyes as well!

Im still trying to adopt a tank mate. I havent gotten a response from the person Ive been waiting for. I am still looking. I hope it wont be too late by the time I get another.

By the way you cant tell if a Animal is a Blazing Blizard or not just by visual analysis. Some Lizards are " Het " for some things which means they have the DNA of a Different morph in them and when bred to another lizard can probably have a hatchling that expresses the Het color. For example. Het Sunglow Raptor. Visualy you see a Raptor so you think hes a Raptor 100%. You breed him to another Raptor but you get a Sunglow Raptor. Now your wondering where did the Sunglow come from. He was carrying the Genes the whole time. Its honestly a Sort of complicated process until you understand the basics of Gecko Genetics. ( By the Way this was just an Example im not sure if Sunglows can be Het. Im still understanding Co - Dominant and Het. )

Sorry Jacob, but you can visually tell a blazing blizzard (albino & blizzard) from a regular blizzard or a regular albino. Blazing blizzards are closer to true white. Most plain blizzards look more like my avatar, and kinda greyish/purplish, depending on the temps and their attitude .

Banana blizzards have a more yellowish coloring (blizzard & patternless) and snow blizzards (snow & blizzard) have a silvery color. The Diablo Blano is the whitest gecko, and Tremper created them by crossing blazing blizzards into his Raptors.

From the pictures, I'd agree Diamond is a probably a blazing blizzard. And a very pretty one too!

Haha, Like i said im still getting used to genetics. Though i normally dont go for full Visual Analysis. Dont want to ever miss lead some one if i sell them some thing that im not sure about.

Whats really cool, it that there are other ways to produce a mostly white geckos. Blazing blizzard has been the most common, even though the genetics work against it. Back when they were breeding the double hets, you'd expect a 1 in 16 chance, but the ratios were often much higher. One in 30 or 40. I read it was believed that allels were close together, causing higher mortality and thus higher ratios.

But there are other ways that can breed a white, patternless gecko, including a super snow albino. I'm sure there are others, using super hypo and snow..., who knows? You are right, you can never be totally sure by looking what morph a gecko is. Diamond could surprise us all!

Yes I remember seeing Diamond in the litter at petco. She was the only Albino there. All of her brothers and sisters were regular coloring Leopard Geckos.

Thank you all for the compliments!
