Any ideas about the morph?

[100yan]

I am curious to hear any suggestions about the morph of this young girl on the photos? I get it from a friend a day before and I know her origin, but I prefer do not share this info right now, so your opinion will be unbiased.
The reason I am posting here is just to see if I am on the right way in my opinion on that.

Thanks in advance!

Looks to me like a nice creamsicle, the kind that I'd like to have as opposed to a lot of what gets called creamsicle that look more like Mack tangs to me.

Now I want to know.

I second the Cremesicle vote

Look like it's some type of W/Y to me. Hrmmmm...

Ok, first of all, thank you for the comments: they all make me really happy of what I currently have got (or its potential for the future breeing projects).

However, the truth is not so classical. I would say that this is a Hypo Snow (a line-breed Snow, probably co-dominant). The guy I received the gecko from is working for several years on the line-breeding Snow project that is nothing familiar with the classical Mack Snow morph. The first step was to obtain by selection very pale (Mack Snow like) Normal geckos, and the second step was to cross these pale geckos with SHTCTs (this was also the case with the gecko on the photos in this threat). The result is something very similar to the Creamsicle, however it has nothing to do with the JMG's line.

Honestly said, I have no patience to start breeding this individual in the next year in order to see what type of offspring it will produce.

So it is a Cremesicle that was line bred for certain traits.

So a creamsicle with no snow?

 

[sunshinegeckos]

oh i misread the no snow part lol Interesting! so light colored SHTCT. Its very pretty!

Right :main_thumbsup: However, IMO, it could be considered as a Snow, it is just not a Mack's. I do not want to tell a big word, but I believe that this is some sort of an axanthic line bread trait, similarly to the TUG's Snows (as I know it was obtained by a similar way, but from a wild-cought individual). So far, I can tell that the trait 'behaves' as a co-dominant trait, but we still continue to test it. I strongly hope to have a better insight to the genetics of this line-bread trait (we call it locally GK Snow) after this breeding season.

Probably it will not be a Super Hypo neither a Carrot Tail because of the high contrast of the black spots on the bands and on the base of the tail.

I agree on the carrot tail. Its so young though it might lose its spots. It will be interesting to see what it looks like grown up. Its a very interesting project.

It will be interesting to see what it looks like grown up. Its a very interesting project.

Hope so, thanks!
Keep you informed. :main_thumbsup:
