Full Description

Here’s a complete care guide for a Bell Albino Bold Red Stripe Mack Snow White and Yellow Leopard Gecko — a complex morph combo of Eublepharis macularius. Though visually striking, these geckos follow standard Leopard Gecko care, with a few special considerations due to the Bell Albino and White & Yellow traits.

Bell Bold Red Stripe Mack Snow White and Yellow Gecko

(Eublepharis macularius)

Morph Combination:

  • Bell Albino – reduced melanin, pinkish body tones, sensitive eyes

  • Bold Red Stripe – clean red dorsal stripe, minimal body spotting

  • Mack Snow – light base color, reduced yellow, pastel-like tones

  • White & Yellow (W&Y) – genetic trait often causing increased contrast and hypo-melanism

Size & Lifespan

Trait Description
Adult Size 7–10 inches (18–25 cm)
Weight 50–90g
Lifespan 15–20 years in captivity

Enclosure Setup

Tank Size

Age Minimum Tank Size
Hatchling 10–20 gallon long
Adult 20–40 gallon breeder

Prioritize horizontal space for movement and temperature zoning.

Substrate

  • Safe Substrates:

    • Paper towel (for hatchlings/quarantine)

    • Reptile carpet

    • Slate/ceramic tiles

    • Clay/soil/sand mix (bioactive – advanced)

  • Avoid: Loose sand, calcium sand (risk of impaction)

Hides

  1. Warm Hide – digestion

  2. Cool Hide – thermoregulation

  3. Humid Hide – for shedding (moist moss)

Decor

  • Rocks, cork bark, artificial plants

  • Ensure enough shade due to albino light sensitivity

  • Easy access hides (no steep climbs)

️ Temperature & Humidity

Zone °F °C
Warm Side 88–92°F 31–33°C
Cool Side 75–80°F 24–27°C
Nighttime 68–75°F 20–24°C
Humidity 30–40% Up to 80% in humid hide

Heating

  • Under Tank Heater (UTH) connected to a thermostat

  • Optional: Low wattage ceramic heater if your home drops below 68°F at night

  • Avoid overhead heat bulbs unless very dim — Bell Albinos are light-sensitive

Lighting

  • UVB (Optional): Use a low output 2.0–5.0 UVB bulb

  • Lighting Cycle: 12 hours light / 12 hours dark

  • Avoid: Intense light exposure — albino and W&Y morphs can be photosensitive

️ Diet & Feeding

Staple Insects

  • Crickets

  • Dubia roaches

  • Black soldier fly larvae

  • Mealworms (in moderation)

Occasional Treats

  • Superworms

  • Hornworms

  • Waxworms (high fat, limit use)

Feeding Schedule

Age Frequency
Juveniles Daily
Adults Every 2–3 days

Supplements

Supplement Frequency
Calcium (no D3) Always in tank
Calcium (with D3) 2x per week
Multivitamin 1x per week

Dust insects with supplements before feeding.

Maintenance

  • Spot Clean: Daily

  • Water Dish: Clean and refill daily

  • Deep Clean: Monthly (unless bioactive)

  • Substrate Refresh: Every 1–3 months

⚕️ Health & Morph-Specific Notes

Bell Albino

  • Light-sensitive eyes (pinkish) — squinting in bright light is normal

  • Can be prone to vision issues, though not usually severe

White & Yellow

  • Some W&Y geckos may have subtle neurological quirks (e.g., slight head tilting)

  • Most are healthy, active, and behave normally

General Leopard Gecko Health

  • Healthy Signs: Bright eyes, full tail, strong appetite

  • Common Issues:

    • Impaction (from loose substrate or large prey)

    • Shedding issues (lack of humidity)

    • MBD (from poor calcium/D3 levels)

Handling Tips

  • Temperament: Typically calm and curious

  • Always approach from the side, not above

  • Limit handling time (especially under light)

  • Avoid handling during shedding or after feeding
