hey guys,i have a young leo that i hatched out about a month ago or so,and i was just wondering,i know for sure that it is at least a bright patternless baby(much brighter then the other one that hatched out!)her head has white on it with blotches ,her body turns yellow with blotches,and then the tail goes white again,i've heard that's how a patternless albino color patteration should look like,but her eyes look normal right now...any ideas anyone?

You don't have a patternless albino unless you actually crossed the two lines. Did you? She could just be a very "bright" baby.

Do you have any pics?

I'm thinking she sounds like a very nice patternless.
Albino's lack all black pigments, in their body, eyes, etc.

the parents are both double hets,the pattern sounds exactly like a patty albino,but like you suggested probably because of the lack of red pigment in her eyes probably not the case,she's is like all around though,her skin isn't dark at all...just wish i had some pics...

I'm not sure if she's a PA or not, but what is "patteration"?

if it is PA, congrats!
if it isn't, It sounds like a wicked patternless, congrats! :)

i had another patterless hatch out awhile back...lol,the two's pattern are quite different!the one i knew for sure was just a patternless was two different colors,he was a dark brown with lighter brown blotches as a hatchling,this otherone that hatched out is has beige blotches throughout a white head,a yellow body,then a white tail again,which sounds like what i've heard that they're supposed to be,but the eyes look pretty ordinary,nonetheless she's a cute little thing,a definate keeper for sure!

Something to help you figure out if yours is a PA.

This is my male PA as a baby.... notice the blotches are pinkish, while in a normal patternless they'd be brown.
