I've got a couple of snake-eyed eclipses left from last season. The first two are left and right eyes of one gecko, then left and right eyes of another.

Eclipse is a recessive gene that causes the eyes to be solid black in a non-albino and solid red in an albino (as in a RAPTOR). Sometimes the eyes aren't 100% solid - this is what we refer to as "snake-eyes". It seems to be more of a random occurrence in animals that carry the eclipse alleles. It does not seem to affect their vision at all.

Blizzards also sometimes have snake-eyes, although this is not necessarily related to the eclipse gene.

Cool looking pictures....love the close-up's on the eyes :yessir:

I had a few that I hatched out in 2004, none of my geckos displayed the snake eyes or eclipse eyes, but apparently carried the genetics for it.

I had a few other albinos with full eclipse eyes, and another blizzard with full eclipse eyes. I loved the trait, and it was in its infancy at the time, so I couldn't find much information about it.
