Any idea about this morph?

[Ts06]

What kind of morph this could be. It's the offspring of wild coloured animals. Father is wild caught, a big male, weight almost 100g. Origin of mother unknown. Colouration of the offspring is nearly white with bleached yellow. I´m quite not sure, any idea?

Do you mean this guy/girl being you don't know mum i'd say possibly either a fasciolatus out cross so (dad)-fasciolatus X (mum)-typical captive ler maybe a pure 100% fasciolatus ?? can't say though 100% if you don't know mum.

Mother of this girl seems to be a normal E. macularius, don't know whether she is wild caught or captive bred. Father could be fasciolatus, will post a picture of him

He doesn't look very healthy, honestly....

I'm holding this guy for about 3 years now and he never made any problems. Why do you think he doesn't look healthy?

 

[Scott&Nikki]

He is very skinny and, maybe it is just the first pic, but the rear right leg looks a little off..Am I the only one that sees it?

 

[robin]

the first set of photo looks like a lanky (not skinny at all simply the build of the gecko) healthy looking juvenile leopard gecko. the last photo (the mother) looks like a healthy leo as well. the mother might stand to gain a few grams (but she could be breeding.. i dunno) but she doesnt look unhealthy or skinny to me.

But... he said he had it for 3 years....

 

[robin]

has he had the offspring for three years, the mom for three years or the father for three years.?

I'd guess fasciolatus cross too. I'd love to see a picture of the father. I don't think it looks unhealthy. Some geckos are just naturally thinner than others and have a slimmer bone structure. I guess it's one of those things you notice when you've had more than one leopard gecko though.

They look ok to me just the baby one maybe a little more on the tail.Any wild caught leo would be about that size.Probem is a lot of captive leo to tell the truth are too fat due to blast feeding and high fat feeder bugs.

 

[Scott&Nikki]

Yeah, I think maybe the angle of the leg in the first pic caught my attention, and it seems to go together many times.

 

[eyelids]

I say fasciolatus cross as well. Sweet looking gecko!

I concur... it looks like the ones Albey was working with :main_yes:

 

[okapi]

Does anyone know the natural range of the fasciolatus subspecies? And where was the father caught at? That first gecko looks like the first snows that were linebred. However since the father is normal looking in color the offspring might have some pigment migration before it is fully grown.

They look like Fasciolatus. In my experience Fasciolatus and the crosses with them are long and very slender Geckos that can still get to be 75 – 100 grams in weight. The ones that are pictured here in this thread look very healthy. If you check this thread I posted earlier you will see many pictures of them that look just like the one pictured here. The young ones look like Snow’s or Pastel’s and as the get older they look much darker. Here is the link. http://geckoforums.net/showthread.php?t=3825

 

[robin]

the first line bred snows are thought to be the product of the fasciolatus subspecies or fasciolatus influence

well albey said it all in this post and in the thread he started. good stuff albey :thumbsup:
