[aa410c]

i have just been over to my local rep store to get some mealies and have seen a compleatly black gacko. ? what a beauty.dave:main_cool3::main_cool3::main_cool3:

 

[Leopard.Geckerz]

was it a leo?

 

[aa410c]

was it a leo?

i dont know. i am new to this but the lad in the shop said that it was.
it is closed now so i cant ring them to find out more. can you get black ones?:main_huh:

 

[Lena]

I doubt it's a leopard gecko. Black ones are extremely rare.

 

[Bodon]

Maybe its a midnight blizzard going into shed??? Or most likely isnt a leopard gecko.

 

[aa410c]

no i dont think that it is a leo. i have to go to work tomoz so wont be able to check it out but my wife will ring them in the morning and try to find out what the score is. i would love this gecko either way and will keep you posted Dave:main_thumbsup:

I think it would be an african fat tail and not a black pearl because there are non in america just african fat tails.

 

[supperl]

finding black pearls or black velvets right now in an US chainstore is like prooving aliens live in TV^^

 

[LeapinLizards]

Well...it could have been a VERY dark Blizzard. The ones at a local chain store almost look black because they don't have proper heating.

i dont think he is looking in the US? it could be a gecko, there are tons of different types of geckos, likely not a leo... nor a fat tail... probally something like a golden, or a tokay, or...? all get black from time to time... seems to be more when stressed or cold... *shrug* we would need a pic for sure

what is the shop called.As i could call them and see what they say.

 

[Lady_Kiya]

Probably not a leo, considering they are extremely rare. Not to mention people have been breeding to try to get a pure black gecko for a long time.

 

[aa410c]

well done that man. it is a golden gecko???? gold,black,gold,black????
i have not been able to speak to the shop myself and have no idea why a "GOLDEN GECKO" should be black. b ut i am now concerned that it may be stressed etc etc. i will ring the place tomoz and sort this out. DAVE

as i already stated a golden gecko can appear black under stress or wrong temps... as a tokay can, and im sure there are other gecko species that can... i dont have a scientific explanation but it happens... honest...

 

[Haligren]

Banana geckos turn black when they're unhappy as well.

 

[Zynx_Keekeio]

Ta-da black tokayish looking one, not sure if it is though

ta-da darkish gecko

 

[Gecko Euphoria]

It could be a melanistic leo that is very dark and looks black, or even a crested I've seen a few very black cresteds fired up.

i was in a petstore near my house and saw a gecko that looked like a leopard gecko but wasn't listed as one. it was listed simply as black gecko? maybe some type of similar species?
