Those are cool!

yup, very cool, the thing is with the abherrent fatties is that they all display pretty much the same breakage in pattern, its kind of an off center split in the dorsal banding. What I would like to see is a true jungle, with the broken patterns located throughout the body tail included

The ones pictured in VMS were produced back in 2003, and to be honest, I haven't seen many more like those out there....

Linda at Painted Desert Geckos ( site is now gone as Linda has moved on ) produced a ton of abherrent pattern fat tails the past couple of years, and had a lot of very good pictures of them, however now that the site is gone I can't seem to track any down.

Yeah the only one I have of her is a side shot, which really dosn't show the pattern at all. I have an e-mail into the current owner to try and get a snap... I'll post it here ASAP

What exactly is a jungle pattern?

 

[HepCatMoe]

a jungle is where the stripes are broken up.

here are some pics: http://www.vmsherp.com/ViewFatties.htm

 

[Cory]

again the term jungle is a little hazy here on the fat tails. The pics on VMS are of what I would consider a aberrent pattern, note that the tail bands are still pretty much concentric and intact.

 

[HepCatMoe]

maybe mixing the aberants and jungle would eventually provide a "true" jungle? lets hope!!
