Can I PLEASE get your opinions?..

[Melody]

I got a female tremper tang. at the Tucson reptile show last Saturday and I notice that she has two different colored eyes. One is ruby red with a not really noticeable pupil and the other is just a normal grey eye.. she not blind to my knowledge and she acts like a normal gecko. So is this just a certain morph trait? or is something wrong with her? Please give me some input

Sounds like she's a raptor. And the trait that your seeing is the eclipse morph. They can be solid red or a percentage of the eye and that's called snake eyes. No need to worry its perfectly normal in that morph. She sounds awesome.

Wow cool, I thought raptors were all orange..? Im sorry but I am a tad confused is she a raptor or an eclipse? or is that the same thing? heres a picof her



and heres one of her eyes. its horrible quality but you can still kinda of see the difference



thank you for your input, I've been concerned

The pic does help a little. The eclipse eye trait is part of the r.a.p.t.o.r. red eye albino patternless tremper orange . So your gecko would be a tremper eclipse because its not a patternless. Sorry if I confused you. She's a beautiful gecko by the way.

ah I get it now! thanks so much for your help

The trait/gene which causes the change in eye pigmentation is Eclipse. There are varying amounts of eye coloration that can be present on an Eclipse gecko. If they are not solid then they are commonly referred to as being Snake Eyed. They are red due to being an Albino.

Here is a gecko I have with 1 snake eye and 1 solid eye.



If you bought it as a Tremper Tangerine then you got the better end of that deal...and the breeder may not understand or know genetics as well as they think.

That is a beautiful gecko! and thanks so much for your imput! I always thought they would be more expensive... i only got her for 25
