First off pretty sure he is labeled wrong, but would like to see if he can be identified from what i have seen of him. He is labeled as a Banded RAPTOR, he has as far as i could tell black eyes(solid), he is albino, he has bands but are broken. Is he just an albino because he really does not fit the RAPTOR profile at all.

Thanks

Technically, RAPTOR's are tang albinos with eclipse trait (white nose and ruby eyes) and also patternless stripes due to combination of stripe and reverse stripe traits. If it's an albino and has solid eyes, it's possible that they are ruby eyes but the color may be hard to see. More and more people are labelling tang albino geckos with eclipse trait that don't have the patternless stripe component as "banded raptors" or "jungle raptors". I'm somewhat of a purist and prefer to take the "Patternless" trait seriously, so I wouldn't consider these geckos to be raptors, but nomenclature evolves how it will so if people persist in using that terminology it will probably stick, regardless of its accuracy (unfortunately).
