Default Finally!! I've been fighting with nature for such a long time..

..and managed to catch my rainwaters out and about...(no one has any idea how hard it is to find them out when theres any hint of sunlight/fake light!!!...especially the jungle as shes the most light sensitive)

So I present to you...The Doctor and Rose, the rainwater leos!! (doctor (left) is a rainwater snow, rose (right) is a jungle rainwater)

absolutely beautiful leos hun! they must have been expensive because they're so rare in my opinion. I've never seen a rainwater in real life so... congratulations and they look so healthy!

I have to ask, why is it a 'rainwater' one?

there are three types of albino leopard gecko, named after their discoverer. Tremper Albino, Rainwater and Bell, all the last name of the person who made the morph. You can see the difference between them in the patterning.

Tremper:


Bell:


and babygyalsw2 has posted some beautiful rainwaters

well in this country you can expect to pay £90-£120 for one...due to them being so rare. In the states however, they are less of them compared to the two other strains but they're much more common and you're looking at about $40-$50/£20-£30 for a good example.

lucky for me, rainwaters are my favourite morph so i go out of my way to get as many as possible...these are two from american breeders. i will be breeding about 5 of them next season so hopefully i should be selling on some beautiful babies...including more rainwater snows

i got the rainwater snow from hamm and my mum got me rose (the jungle)...the snow costed me $120 and the jungle cost me $50...thats only because they were bought straight from a yank though!! my chocolate rainwater (shadequa) cost me £150 as I bought her in this country
