Awesome coloration. Congrats!

 

[Enigmatic_Reptiles]

Awesome little eclipses. What % het are they?

 

[SFgeckos]

Thanks everyone!

I assume you're asking about their percentage of het albino? It is very small (parents would 25%, 33% x 33%,25% or 0%)- over the years I've tried to test breed almost every eclipse and if they are proven het, they are culled. However, that doesn't mean there still can't be a small possibility that the amelanistic gene isn't floating around!

Congrats Jon, they look great!

Whoa!! Got some hate mail so I should clarify that when I used the word "culled" it meant REMOVING from my collection (giving away, selling, rehoming). Please look up any vocabulary words to understand their meanings before jumping to conclusions!

Culled: "is the process of removing animals from a group based on specific criteria. This is done in order to either reinforce certain desirable characteristics or to remove certain undesirable characteristics from the group. For livestock and wildlife, the process of culling usually implies the killing of animals with undesirable characteristics."

The only time I've had to "cull" animals humanely were either deformed/undeveloped offspring, farm/livestock industry or in biomedical research laboratory settings.

My apologies to anyone that misunderstood!

[ILoveGeckos14]

Edit: Nice eclipse babies as well!

That is one morph I am trying to locate right now. I want to get a male Eclipse for my female. Cute leos.

 

[SFgeckos]

It's a shame I don't incubate any eggs for males...although, I could accidentally put some clutches into the python incubator =)

[robin]

jon, that would be quite nice of you

 

[ThornPython4]

Maybe I'll find a nice adult male this November at an expo.
