Leopard Gecko morphs: Albino (amelanistic)
Albino (amelanistic)
Description: Albino leopard geckos are those which lack the colour pigment melanin. Its this pigment thats responsible for any black colouration in "normal" leopard geckos.
History: Albinos were first produced from a few WC specimens (morphs do happen in the wild, they are just very very rare) which were selectively bred. I presume one albino would be bred to a normal producing some heterozygous for albino offspring, these would have then been bred back to the original albino resulting in a few albinos. Its these which would have started the gene off in captivity.
