Thanks a bunch! I'm very excited because my two males started breeding this week! Only outcrosses so far; BSB x BSB will happen in a few months. Mom finally pooped out the sphagnum and thankfully didn't require surgery. If she had she'd of been off until next year, but now she gets to mate one of her sons very soon...

WOW, very cool . Im guessing these would be a new morph?

 

[geckofreak570]

nice

I wouldn't go that far yet... I'm hoping they will make something new when bred back to each other, but until then they are just another variation of an existing morph.

 

[Ghetto Gecko]

Those are really nice

Big and healthy as well. I love the color.

these are very nice bells really nice contrast and colors. while ii do not think its a black spot just more contrast, darker colors against the nice orange and of course no hypoing.i do not think this is any sort of genetic mutation, i think like i said earlier just some very nice contrast. kinda like the lighter and darker trempers. it would make perfect sense since they are a T+ albino

Thanks Robin!

Since it's getting close to having babies from this project I'm second guessing myself. The bad thing about this is it's not so much the spotting that sets them apart from other Bells, but rather it's their eyes. What is weird is that only the male's seem to exhibit them...

Don't forget that I'm only a second year breeder and I haven't hatched hundreds of geckos... I see something different and of course think it's new... I think it'll be a good experience for me if these don't throw anything special...

Whatever happens, I'm not looking to sell bunches of geckos or make a business out of this hobby. I probably would've gotten my website up ages ago if I was... :main_laugh: I just think it'd be cool to hatch something out of the ordinary... What is ordinary anyways???

 

[robin]

i completely understand michael. no matter what yes very good experience. oh by he way do you have any close ups of the eyes?

I've tried many times, but when I use zoom on my camera the pics are always out of focus. Also tried cropping from pics, but that hasn't worked well either.

Here's the best I could find...

This guy's are the most extreme of my three males. The striations which faded away on the other two never were even on this guys eyes... His sight seems just as good as other albinos, but at first I thought he was blind. However, both pupils dilate and he reacts to movement.

Here's a cropped and magnified pic of the same geckos left eye... It seems he does have a striation in this eye...

Can you see why I've described their eyes as 'looking like the inside of a clam shell'?
