Amazing depth and richness to his colour - even more remarkable when you see him next to his parents: totally different shade. Any idea what causes some blood offspring to be so richly dark when from a certain pairing - an effect of heterozygous Tremper or Eclipse, or something else?

You know in all honesty I have been trying to understand that myself. As long as I have been producing geckos I most of the time see the babies come out way better then that of the parents.

If you look at the Blood Eclipse and how it does not have the normal dark tone of regular Bloods. According to what JMG explained to me is that the Eclipse gene lightens up the Blood color because something else is at work. Same with the Blood female, she is a pure Blood as well but she is het for Raptor and even has an effect on her colors as well.

If I had a better pic of the Blood Raptor Cross, his tail actually has the weirdest color tone to it as if the colors merge together, and his mother is just a Raptor. That was a very good question though, I'll really have to start test breeding to really test that theory. Thank you for that question.
