There's a difference between the solid RUBY eyes (present in Diablo Blancos) due to the Eclipse gene and the normal albino gecko eyes (tan, pink or reddish iris with normal pupil or the "blizzard snake eye") that MUST be present in a Blazing Blizzard.

If you use a known het albino as the breeding partner, you'll still get half of the hatchlings as albino. If you don't, whoever sold it to you as a BB has some explanining to do.

Unfortunately, this takes a lot of time. Especially if you're starting with very young geckos.

This was the reply
Are you sure her eyes aren't a very very deep red due to low incubation temps??
