Confirmation of morph please? (It's a bit unusual)
Only a couple of people have really been able to guess at her morph, I'm just looking to see if anyone else thinks the same so I can know for definite as she still seems very different to others that are TARS. (I'm shortening it to TARS as its bloomin long to write each time. Tremper Albino Reverse Stripe). I'm not advertising this forum or anything, it just saves me having to copy over all the information.
Question posted on RFUK
The thread has had over 150 views and only one breeder (named in said thread) has confirmed suspicions of someone else. Another person tried to help but has not yet responded again, one person tried to answer despite not even knowing the morph of one of her own (I found out after looking at her profile) and only one person was actually brave enough to say they hadn't got a clue.
I still find it very odd she has managed to change brown into purple when I was under the impression temperatures only made colours brighter rather than change completely? In that case it should of gone a bright browny orangey red or something surely? Then I think she would be classed as a Red Stripe? The person who did not reply again said this would of required high temperatures, yet she is a female which would therefore be unlikely, especially seeing how bright and obvious the purple and yellow she displays is. I would of thought she would of need pretty high temperatures while developing then and should therfore be a "he".
I'm pretty sure she is given this other gecko I've now come accross (believe me its hard to find pictures of anything like her!) `Male TARS - RFUK`
Infact the owner of him is the lady that owns "Million Dollar Geckos" and she is really the only other person I've seen to own any TARS through my internet searching. (although I think she refers to them as Reverse Stripe Tremper Albinos. But I like the acronym :P) That link should take you stright to the page, I think she has about three? All pretty similar to be honest but no purple like Penny (that's the name of my gecko by the way) displays.
If it was temperature that has given her that colour, does it mean this is now a gene in her that she could potentially pass on? I was thinking the temperature mutated/evolved the gene (or is it allele? I'm such a noob) to become that colour so now it would be potentialy passable down the line in its current state.
I'm not 100% on breeding and genetics so I'm sorry if that comes accross as really "lacking common sense" questions. Anyway, its all explained over there but I thought I'd ask for replies on here as I'm guessing the people on here will be more specialised.
Much thanks!

Re: Confirmation of morph please? (It's a bit unusual)
I would agree with the tremper reverse stripe. As for the tail, it looks like (to me) that some may have cauterized a dropped tail... I could be wrong.
Re: Confirmation of morph please? (It's a bit unusual)
I've not heard of that ever being done, but I know what cauterization is, I've had it done to my nose a couple of times to stop very bad nose bleeds. It would make sense as to why it never properly re-grew as it would of fused everything together before it had the chance to develop.
I hope if was done, it was done with the best intentions and it was only done to stop dramatic loss of blood by someone who didn't know better. I don't even want to think how it was or is done by people though.
IF that did ever happen you wouldn't of thought it - she's not people frightened at all and on the odd occasion climbs on my hand to get out of the Faunarium by herself. She often comes to get my attention when she wants out and goes all moody with me if I haven't got her out for a day or two. She sits on my shoulder and sleeps for ages and doesn't particularly mind me stroking her tail or anything. I would of thought anything that must have hurt as much as that would have had detrimental affect to her tolerance of people?

Re: Confirmation of morph please? (It's a bit unusual)
I'd say a Tremper Reverse Stripe too.
A few things regarding your temperature confusion.
Temperatures do affect the colors, they affect it both during incubation and in everyday life for the gecko.
You can inbubate for bright females, because the sex is locked in during the first few weeks, so you incubate for female for a few weeks and when the sex is locked you boost up the temperatures.
Again though, her bright colours could be caused by higher temperatures in her enclosure and a stress-free life
Seeing purple/lavender in albino's isn't uncommon i'm afraid, in fact in APTOR and RAPTOR lines its very likely. Which in turn could be cause for your gecko, it may have descended from R/APTOR Parents.
