Can't tell the diff between albino's?

I bought a Male ( rainwater)? het for patternless last week, I emailed the seller and asked how can you tell the diff and he said he didn't know but rainwaters look better? Also If I breed it with my female will I get a few Patt albino's? I'd post pics but I can't get them small enough. So how can you tell the diff?

If your female is a Rainwater x Patternless you have a chance of ending up with some patternless albinos. If she's a Tremper x patternless, you don't stand a chance of getting any patternless albinos.

As hatchlings it's possible but ususally a bit tricky to tell the two albino strains apart. Once they're sub-adults or older, it's easy. How old are yours?

I'm not sure how old they are, my female is about 7" and the male I got is about 5-6". I emailed the guy I bought the male from and he said he bought it as a rainwater and that is how he knows. He said he was going to use him as a breeder but, he wants to limit his stock and that is why he sold him. I figured the male was a juvie? He was listed as ready to breed soon.

Maybe these will help you ID your albino.

Rainwater/Las Vegas albino approx 4 months old

Rainwater/Las Vegas albino adult

3 variations of Tremper albino colouration in adults

I can't find any of my juvie Tremper pictures that show enough detail to ID the strain, sorry. I'm sure someone will post some though.

I think my male resembles your LV albino het for patternless most. My female also resembles him too. except she has the same faded patterns on her head just like the first male LV.

Is it no coincedence that Trempers' colors seems to have bolder pinks, purples and yellows as apposed to the Rainwaters? Always wondered, but never thought to ask.... =)

That is my goal, to produce some Patt. albino's and Tangerine albino's. Is there any Patternless tangerine albino's out there?
