RAPTOR stands for:

Ruby-eyed (Eclipse)
Albino (Tremper strain, by the way)
Patternless Reverse-stripe
Tremper (the strain of animal - Patternless-reverse stripe AND Albino)
ORange.

It isn't "Tremper Giant" at all. It's "Tremper Albino" and "Tremper Patternless Reverse-Stripe"

Some people do tend to use the T as Tangerine.

i know it stands for Ruby eyed Albino Patternless Tremper ORange but i'm sure when i was reserching before i got my male that the reason it says albino and tremper is because the tremper bit is tremper giant

No, Giant isn't part of RAPTOR... if it was, then Tremper himself would list Giant as part of it. The Tremper that's referred to is Tremper Albino as per his description of APTORs on his own website:

Quote:
A.P.T.O.R. = a Carrot-head, Carrot-tail, Hypo Tangerine, Patternless, Tremper Albino in both normal and Giant size
Normal-sized animals are still APTORs (and RAPTORs if they have the eclipse eyes). They also exist as Giants - but that's not the default for the morph.

i've found out where i read that the tremper part of RAPTOR is tremper giant, its in the book, The Herpetoculture of Leopard Geckos. on page 226, how to design a new morph, so there is giant in the APTOR/RAPTOR morph, the book is co writen by the man himself Ron Tremper, thats where i read it anyway
