I just got my gecko yesterday. His/her eyes were closed almost all day. They finally opened up today. Pure red eyes. I'm thinking I have a raptor. I tried to put a flourescent light on to get a good picture for identification. The eyes immediately closed and she/he wouldn't open them until the light went off. The eyes aren't as dark as the picture but it seems solid red. Have raptors been known to close their eyes a lot?
Raptors are much more sensitive to light because they lack melanin which would naturally block out a lot of light in their iris. The only way to get decent photos of raptors is to dim the room completely and use flash.
@Ifritmaster you are too stupid to insult. sorry, i just have to say and poisonous animals are not dangerous unless you plan on eating them. i believe you meant to say venomous.
just to let you know there are two types of albinism. Tyrosinase-positive and Tyrosinase-negative. Tyrosinase-positive or T+ albinos are not able to synthesize melanin, but capable of synthesizing tyrosinase, which results in lavender-brown skin color. all three strains of albinism in leopard geckos are T+ albinos. through selective breeding have they become the white, light and pink beauties we know them as today :)
Are RAPTORs eyes always solid or do they change when exposed to light because i have an albino that has SOLID RED eyes in the dark that change normal when exposed to light
i love albino enigmas! there so beautiful! but i love em all, its really hard to say which is ur favorite because leos are so addictive! the only albino i have is a bell albino, i'm trying to grow my collection, so i have to gravid females right now, my SHT(super hypo tangerine) and my bell albino.
Sorry about that.for heat, don't use a light for heat.istead,use a undertank heater.

Okay thanks. I just got a sunglow Leo Is it true if they have really orange legs and heads does that mean they will be real bright when there older?
Jruch123 1 year ago
@Jruch123 no, I think thats a myth. I think the best thing to determine how a gecko will look as an adult is to see how it's parents look.
wbgeckos 1 year ago
@Jruch123 Yes it is true ive have 5 sunglows 2 male 3 female it is true
knightdog06 1 year ago
@Jruch123 its hard to tell, Ive had geckos with orange arms that turned out to be high yellow, like I said, the easiest way is to look at the parents

Are RAPTORs eyes always solid or do they change when exposed to light because i have an albino that has SOLID RED eyes in the dark that change normal when exposed to light
iceman5008 2 years ago
if the eyes arent solid at all times, then you do not have a 100% solid eyed raptor.

Last I checked, they were around $100.00 each. The leopard gecko market took a critical blow with the economy.

isyourmamaallama 2 years ago
I have no idea what you are asking. Please clarify.
wbgeckos 2 years ago
isyour if you breed a blizzard to a normal you will get babies that are all HET blizzard, meaning they carry the blizzard gene but appear normal.
jcv4200 2 years ago
No, you will get 50% normal het albino, and 50% enigma het albino.
Both geckos need to have the albino gene to pass it on to the offspring.
Takana07 3 years ago
your right,
the easiest way is to breed an enigma albino with a regular albino. You will get 50% will be enigma albino and 50% will be regular albino
