they are pretty popular in the world of leos. there are however, different kinds of albinos--trempers, bells, rainwaters/las vegas albinos... i'm guessing at the pet store there was no label as to which type of albino these geckos were? those prices are typical pet store prices for those gecko morphs. i am not a fan of pet store (especially chain store) geckos, especially leopard geckos. too many times they are full of worms and other parasites, malnurished, dehydrated and who knows what else. if you decide to purchase these leos be sure to check them over carefully. make sure they have nice fat tails, bright eyes, clean vent areas and are active and alert. consider taking them to a vet to have fecals done and to be treated for parasites as well. too many times i have gone into a pet store and the leos looked like they were about on the verge of death. to an untrained eye they might not look so bad, but you don't want to deal with the heartache of losing a gecko you haven't had for very long so please be careful.

all albino or blizzard leos are homozygous. if it wasn't homozygous then it could be heterozygous for albino, which means it would be carrying the gene but it would not be visibly different from a normal. not het or homo albino or blizzard and it's a normal.
