AFT Ghost Proves Out!

After much anticipation we’ve hatched out the very first African Fat-Tailed Ghost. When we first posted photos on our web site of the adult animal we received an overwhelming response but until Friday we were uncertain whether it was genetic. We are pleased to say that it has proven out to be a recessive mutation. This morph is a true hypomelanistic mutation where the dark pigmentation is greatly reduced giving a mature animal a faded or ghostly appearance. What’s even more exciting are the combination opportunities this new morph will offer. This is another big leap for Fatties in the popularity race with the Leopard Gecko. With more and more morphs proving out not only are we expecting the Fattie to garner much overdue attention within the gecko community but the reptile community as a whole. In fact, I was speaking to a Ball Python breeder a couple of days ago and we were discussing the new morphs that are being proved out within the Fatties and he compared it to the beginning of the Ball Python craze several years ago. I couldn’t agree more and believe this is the beginning of some very exciting times for this once humble gecko. We are pumped to say the least. Thanks for checking it out!

That gecko is awesome!!!!!!!!! As well as a whole lot of other ones that you produce. Lets hope the toffee proves out recessive as well. Well good luck with your breeding program, and keep the awesome animals coming. I know we would all love for you to share some more of your hatchlings. :main_thumbsup:

Awesome Geckos !!

I can't believe that after all this time that there are finally some exciting new morphs coming from the Fatty's
I was crazy about the Amels-love the normals too but the new ones are just amazing

I believe that you will see an increase in popularity with these geckos as predicted-and rightly so
They have been underrated for too long- imho

Good Luck with your projects and Congrats on some beautiful Geckos!

Thanks!

Thanks for all the great feedback everyone I really appreciate it! We are very excited about this and are looking forward to crossing it into some of the other morphs we are working with. We are currently waiting on the results of a few other Fattie projects and are eager to share the results once they are conclusive. Thanks again and all the best!!!
