You might get more responses if you put this in the leopard gecko forum (I think Rhacodactylus are crested geckos).

What a cute guy! Your picture's a bit dark and grainy so its tough to tell for sure but if he is an albino he looks like a Tremper to me.

I still think he's a Tremper. Probably incubated at a low temperature to produce such deep brown markings. I'm not the most experienced morph person around but those pictures are definitely much better. Start a thread in the leopard gecko morph section and more experienced people will help you out

Looks like a Tremper Albino to me as well.

Take your gecko off wood chips, that's a terrible bedding. Try paper towels

Good advice. Shavings are made from pine trees, and pine is poisonous to reptiles (well, most animals, including small furry ones that are typically kept on them).

Tremper, and I agree, wood chips are dangerous

So are heat rocks, and they can be deadly. I don't know about cypress mulch. Still have to worry about sharp pieces though.

Is breeding them really necessary though? Not to be rude, but there are sooooooo many ball pythons out there. You go onto any reptile classifieds place and you'll find tons, and if you go on a regular site like Craigslist you'll find tons that people bought and lost interest in or can't afford or they got too big.

lol i dont do it because im trying to make so many in this world that we cant handle it. i do it knowing im committed to breeding them and to make new morphs and little babies are sweet. same reason people breed anything with different morphs.

Being committed to something and liking morphs and babies are cute aren't very good reasons. Seriously, just for shits and giggles, go to Google and search "ball pythons" and see how many hundreds of breeders you find. Then go to Craigslist, eBay, Woobly, and all reptile classifieds and see how many ball pythons you find. Also, make sure to try Facebook and reptile forums, because you'll find thousands there too. But if you really think the world needs more ball pythons, then obviously I can't stop you. I just very strongly advise against it and would love to see some responsible owners who don't feel the need to breed everything.
