🧬 Morph Genetics
-
WY (White & Yellow): A dominant trait discovered in Europe that changes pattern and coloration. WY geckos usually have:
-
High contrast patterning
-
Cleaner body color (yellow/white tones stand out more)
-
Reduced spotting and bolder head markings
-
-
Albino: Leopard geckos have 3 main albino strains (not interchangeable):
-
Tremper Albino (light eyes, brown patterning, golden tones)
-
Bell Albino (pinkish eyes, high contrast, often lavender tones)
-
Rainwater Albino (smaller, paler, with subtle patterning)
-
👉 A WY Albino is a leopard gecko carrying the White & Yellow trait plus one of the albino strains.
-
This results in a bright, clean-colored gecko with reduced melanin, striking contrast, and often unique lavender or pastel hues.
-
Exact appearance depends on whether it’s WY Tremper, WY Bell, or WY Rainwater.
