Confusion about RAPTORs

[Allee Toler]

His are getting brighter and brighter! They're kind of whiting out around the center, but there's still significant lavender in his bands. It's quite a contrast. And his yellow has orange spots. Lol. He a very bright and colorful thing.

I'm not at home, I'm at my mom in laws, But I have some off my camera phone which takes pretty good pictures! Though he's not as camera ready as GiGi. Lol.

This is when we first got him-

You can't quite see the orange at it's brightness, you can see it, but it doesn't give it justice! He's due to shed by Saturday, so I'll set up a photo shoot and next week I'll post them when I come back to my mom in laws.

I'll need to find my old camera, it takes great pictures, and shows great coloring!

On the DB question, you could definatley make dbs from bb's and an aptor but the thing is it would be alot harder as an aptor is only het and when bred to the blizzard your offsprings percentages of het Raptor decrease in percent so You are going to actually save alot more time and money in just breeding a Raptor to a BB, then takeing the offspring back to each other, than you will using an aptor and playing with the longer odds.

I mostly agree that banded tremper eclipses should not be classified as raptors, but that only makes things more confusing. the 'P' in aptor and raptor is already confusing enough for most people. The sad truth about a lot of gecko owners is that they have no idea how the genetics of their geckos work at all or even what they have most of the time... the simplest thing would have been to call them eclipse patternless stripe trempers from the beginning, oh well...
