non-tremper hatchlings from tremper parents?

[IeuanEvs]

hi guys these 2 are my first leos to hatch.
the father is a patternless tremper het eclipse and the mother is a regular tremper. im not too sure other than that if there maybe any hidden hets but these are the babies. the first one is dark and the second has some yellow in it. they're clearly not trempers though.

If this is your first time breeding you're in for a surprise.
Leopard gecko babies start out one way and will change drastically over the next few months. I believe both of yours are trempers and given time you will see their colors lighten.

The pictures are very blurry. There are some Trempers that are born pretty dark brown and lighten up. How sure are you that the parents are both Tremper? There's also the chance that one of them is a Bell or a Las Vegas albino, in which case your babies are double hets which can be problematical from a breeding point of view.

I'll have to post pictures of the parents when I get home, which will be around 11am in the USA.

sorry for the late reply, had a really busy day putting a rack together.

here are the parents, male is in the middle female is on the left.




here are better quality pictures of the babies

2nd baby pictured definitely looks like a Tremper the first one however doesn't.
Maybe one of the parents has an unknown het.

Okay thanks, it'll be interesting to see what they look like when they are older thrn. Especially the first one. Thanks again !

I was going to say the same aliza said... I believe one of the parents is another trait of albino, could be a Bell for what I can see (the mother)

 

[IeuanEvs]

Thanks for the reply I guess the female could be a bell. I'll have to do some rear h into what defines a bell. I normally go off the eyes, do you know of any differences?

Based on the picture, which is still small and not that clear, I wouldn't be sure that either of those parents are albinos.

The both parents are definitely albino. 100%
I'm thinking that the female is a bell but then it would be impossible for me to have the one tremper hatching. Since she would need het tremper in her anyway which is very unlikely.

I'm not convinced that either hatchling is albino. The one that looks as if it could be albino could also be a hypo since they are born with dark bands that are more brown than black. Despite all my Tremper doubts that I've expressed here and above, I only have the pictures to go by and they are small, so I can't say anything for sure.
