Eye color of a Leopard Gecko

The eye color of a leopard gecko can vary quite widely from one leo to another. So, what color your eyes leo's? Is it normal, with a visible student who looks like a vertical slit in daylight? Or is it rather a university, if you do not really distinguish the students? If there is a university one, it's black? Red?

One of the greatest achievements of modern leopard gecko breeders is the production of "morphing" (visually different races), not only with differentSamples and background colors, but with different eyes. Let's take a look at it:

'Normal'

The leopard geckos, which are found in the wild, with dark, slightly metallic-colored irises. Because geckos are nocturnal, they have eyes that are adapted for night-time vision, that is, they are very sensitive to light. For this reason, during the day (or the presence of sunlight) their pupils from the nearby slits. If they do not, bright light wouldbe seriously damaged.

Normal Leos are considered quite beautiful, but that was not enough for professional breeders!

Solid black

Also known as "Snake Eyes" or "Eclipse", some leo morphs have black iris and not the metallic-colored iris of the normal Leos. When students are of course black, which makes it very difficult to distinguish students from Iris, and does it matter, as if their eyes are just black balls.

Ruby-eye

The brotherblack eyes, some morphs solid red eyes. This is achieved by albinism, which means that there is no dark pigment in the eyes of the underlying retinal blood vessels causes unknown. Note that not all albino leopard geckos have red eyes, but incubation at high temperatures of around 90 degrees Celsius, increasing the frequency and the brightness of the red eyes. Those who do not have red eyes beige ones.

By identifying the three albino strains (currently Tremper, Bell, rainwater)it is the Bell Albino, that the reddest eyes has. While Tremper and Rainwater albinos are often born with red eyes, but they fade as they grow into adulthood, Bell albinos are more willing to keep their red eyes into and throughout their adult lives.

Perhaps the most striking of the ruby-eyed leopard gecko morphs is the Diablo Blanco (also known as Blazing Blizzard). This is an all-white leo, which offers plenty of contrast for a little "devilish"Eyes.

Yellow

It is currently not confirmed whether that eye color there are real, but Rockstar Leopard Gecko breeder Ron Tremper (creator of the Tremper albino) has said that he has produced a new morph, the "Sharks" that the eyes are in the range of pale yellow to rich gold. Apparently Xanthic eyes are red from the visible blood vessels tied up as normal albino eyes.

Yellow eyes have never seen in Leo's before, so if it is true, it would berepresent a major breakthrough in the discipline of science.

People choose their pets for various reasons, and the eye color of a leopard gecko can only will you prefer, just remember, there are several to choose from.
