Was unsure if this should go in ethics or breeding but... here you go.
So we have kink tails, eyelids, nostrils and cleft lip (not sure if the cleft lip thing is just a more advanced nostril deformity).
From my understanding what is widely accepted is...
Tail kinks - Temp. Flux and/or genetic.
Eyelids - Temp. Flux and/or vitamin A deficiency in mother.
Nostrils and cleft lip (can find hardly any information on both of these).
Some will breed geckos with tail kinks and have had no ill effects. I have talked to a few breeders (some very well known) and they do breed geckos with tail kinks.
I have seen several threads and websites about eyelid deformities. Most have and will bred geckos with eyelid deformities (having no effects again).
Once again almost no info on nostrils/cleft lip.
What are your opinions and experience on breeding geckos with these kinds of deformities?:main_robin:
I have noticed that threads like these can get off hand... If someone says something that goes against what you would do... BE AN ADULT ABOUT IT.
