Albino Leopard Gecko Overview
The baby albino leopard gecko is one of he first genetic variations of the leopard gecko in the pet trade. Our baby albino leopard geckos for sale are from the Bell and Tremper albino lines.
They are beautiful and make healthy pet geckos. They have the same care and maintenance as any other Leopard Gecko and can be housed communally as long as there is no more than one male per tank. Our baby albino leopard geckos for sale are healthy, young specimens raised under optimal conditions
Diet and Shedding
Albino morphs will have the same dietary needs as other leopard geckos. Leopard geckos are insectivorous. This means their diet consists entirely of insects! Some popular insects for leopard geckos include: mealworms, crickets, silkworms, and locusts. Many veterinarians will also recommend calcium and multivitamin supplements, which often come in powder form.
Albino leopard gecko morphs will shed their skin just like regular pigmented morphs. Young leopard geckos can shed as often as every 10 days. But, adults usually shed every 6 to 8 weeks. If your gecko is having trouble shedding some final bits of skin, usually around the toes and eyes, you can assist by soaking the skin and gently teasing it away with a damp cotton bud. Geckos will usually eat their old skin.
Albino Leopard Gecko Health
There is quite a lot of debate over whether albino leopard gecko morphs are more sensitive to light than other morphs. But, no matter what morph you have, most leopard geckos do not like extreme bright lights. They are crepuscular reptiles. This means they are most active at dawn and dusk, and tend to avoid direct sunlight. They do not bask in the sun, but instead use ventral heat sources, like rocks that have soaked up the sun.
Albino leopard geckos are potentially prone to the same health issues as other geckos. This includes:
- Parasites
- Metabolic Bone Disease (MBD)
- Shedding problems
- Hemipene infections
- Burns
- Autotomy
Are Albino Leopard Geckos Blind?
Some albino leopard geckos may be blind, but not all albino morphs are guaranteed to be blind. If you’re bringing home a blind gecko, or your gecko develops sight problems, they will have different care needs to a regular sighted gecko. You may need to hand-feed their food, as they will struggle to hunt and catch live prey around their enclosure.
You should also keep things in the same place, even if you have to move it during spot cleaning sessions. Moving your blind gecko’s enclosure around a lot can lead to confusion and increased stress.
