Blizzard vs Albino

Okay what is the difference between a blizzard and albino leo gecko. I was at petsmart and they had a blizzard, it looked like an adult. It looked whitish-yellow. And then they had albino baby's but I really couldn't get a good look at them. The blizzard was $99 and the albino babies were like $39ish

Blizzards are very expensive. Hens the reason I don't have a mate for my male. Here he is. I have been told thought that he is a midnight.



And this is what a bell albino adult leopard gecko looks like.

Blizzard - Completely patternless, with only faint traces of yellow coloration remaining, these are quite possibly true leucistic Leopard Geckos. A high-yellow variant is often referred to as 'Banana', although this term is more properly applied to specimens double homozygous for Murphy Patternless and Blizzard. Another simple recessive genetic trait.

Since there are 3 lines of albinos that can not be interbred, Bell, rainwater, and tremper. Heres a list of them The Learning Center - Leopard Gecko Morphs

The midnight looks like a normal pattternless to me though. with not much yelllow on it. My female looks like that depending on how she is. sometimes shes dark as night others shes got more yellow showing.

My son's newest one I was told was white/albino. He does have pink eyes. He is mostly all yellow except for some spots on his tail and more on his feet. I have looked and I think he is what they call patternless. I saw one at a petstore that looks like him for $70. What was funny is the other they had looks like our female. She is the common coloring and was $40

Leopard Gecko mom that gecko is beutiful.

It's funny albino rainwater leopard gecko baby can cost up to $120 dollors canadian, but I got him for $110. I kinda like the albinos more then the blizzards. Why is it that the blizzard geckos so costly!
