This thread is an example of one of the negative aspects of mediums like this forum. Sitting at your pc never seeing the other party, it's easier to get nasty quicker. It's also easier to be misunderstood. So sometimes it's necessary to purposefully not be coarse, and to be very clear.

But if I heard most of this conversation in person I'd sure walk away, and it's not much more fun reading it when what I want to do is learn and look about geckos.

Pretty gecko bro, hope you feel better.

Emerines are a line tangs. You cant actually have a het. animal. No matter what stripe genes or what else it might carry, its still a line of tang.

I hate missing these epic threads.

 

[ILoveGeckos14]

+1 for line of tangs. And I think the line names help keep things straight. Would you buy a tang tornado then market it as just a nice super hypo? Its like shooting yourself in the foot and disrespecting someones work at the same time. (not directed at you Wandering Paddle, just in general)

FACTS

Where some fact i have about the subject Robin....

Emerines are not a tang they are actually a by product of the RAPTOR/ eclipse project. So if you want to say a raptor or an eclipse are tangerines. Then you can say that an emerine is a tang. They are actually very far from each other. True emerines have no hypo or tangerine (as we know it) in them. Yes they do have a deep orange color but that dose not mean that they are a tang. Yes it is true that the lavender under the orange dose make a greenish tint. The reason that you get the lavender in the first place is because of the highlighted part of the gecko where the stripe reverse stripe jungle pattern would be. Emerines are just better looking by products from making raptor/eclipse that simple. It is a line bred thing and it can also can be passed on genetically. It is not a recessive or co dom or anything like that. There is no rhyme or reason or any way to predict what babies from emerine project geckos will produce or the amount of lavender they will have. You will have good ones and bad ones from great parents. The other thing is they change as they age. At birth most don’t look that great they reach there best look when they are about 20-35 grams some keep a good color as adults but when you breed these geckos they will lose their color and not look like emerines they will look like what they are a washed out “ pattern less stipre” as far as being a line. If you get the geckos from Ron yes they would be considered his line. But different breeders are doing their own work on this type of gecko so they will have their own lines and then will have their own names for them just like how tangerines now have about 20 different lines. With that said yes there is albino emerines. And if you breed them to Raptors I bet you will get more raptors. because it is the line you get them from

LOL look at what you are saying. where does the orange or tangerine color come from in a raptor. oh what where? tangerine bloodlines (somewhere in there is tang bloodlines, "normal" leopard geckos do not naturally have this color) oh and why do you think raptors have the patternless stripe? oh wait maybe thats because of the HYPO gene? oh but the emerines are a byproduct of the raptor? then it has both tangerine and yes even some hypo (hypomelanistic is lacking in melanin) in it.

who is this "we"?


do you think their is such things as het tangerines as well?

is this info you got from the website or just an answer you got from an email?

:main_laugh:

nice facts. thank you for the info

 

[jmlslayer]

I just pondered it up this am. And "we" is everyone in general...



And totally there are het tangerines everyone knows that god lol.... (sarcasm)

 

[robin]

thanks for the info :thumbsup:

 

[StatikStepz]

wow, this is rediculous... I think i can speak for most of us when i say "BOTH OF YOU JUST SHUT UP!" LOL

I can understand having a difference in opinion, but to keep it goin this long is crazy... are we 12 years old or what?

Any given rate... Nice Albino Emerine!

:::any time a moderator wants to officially "close" this thread, feel free::: lol

I don't think anyone would mind. About 9 pages of arguments to read thru is annoying.

 

[ILoveGeckos14]

patternless stripe came from line breeding not hypo gene. Also after typing up 3 paragraphs on the emerine its obvious your original question was just trolling on this persons show off your leos post and I think you should appologize. I'm sorry I participated in taking it off-topic. You question would have been more appropriate for the morph and genetics section.

Well Lucky for you and everyone else That lives in this wonderful Country You are NOT forced to read this.. You choose to. I think the Discussion, not Arguement between Both Robin and Jarrett Brought out some pretty good points on Both sides of the fence.

Emerines, Emeralds, G Project... What ever you want to call them are Gorgeous Looking animals and I have a couple in my Collection and are going to be fun to work with.

no not trolling at all. it was a fair question to ask. it is not my fault others took offense to it. however i do apologize for this getting so out of hand and off topic.

where has the melanin gone then? it may or may not be the "ray hine" line or type of hypo but it is hypo none the less.

I don't know why some people choose to talk down on the Emerine line. It is just as legitimate a Tangerine line as Tangerine Tornadoes, Tangelos, Blood Hypos, Electrics, or Albey's but they seem to bring the little hater out in people. The Tangerine trait is polygenic, which basically means it comes from line breeding. No one is calling it a new morph, it is a line. I think it deserves just as much recognition as saying R2 Bolds to differentiate between one line of Bolds and the next. That is a very nice Emerine Albino that the author of this thread posted and the majority of this thread at this point has made no mention of the great animal that this thread was intended to showcase. With that I go back on topic and say that IS a great looking EMERINE ALBINO! I don't know if it's a personal vendetta against a certain highly acclaimed breeder, but let it go. The Emerines are LEGITIMATE and anyone who works with them in any capacity can tell you what wonderful animals they are. I have yet to see such a variety of colors produced by any other line, Tangerine or otherwise. No need for a hate campaign.

 

[robin]

i am not saying they are not a legit line of tangs. actually i am trying to get at just that. they are a line of tangerines. lets say i have a brand name line morph and i post photos of it (lets say its a line called "super fruity pebbles albinos") i would not expect everyone in the thread to say "hey, cool super fruity pebble albino", no they would say hey nice albino and i would be like, thanks. if i had tangerine tornadoes and someone refered to them as nice tangerines or nice tangs i would have no problem and chances are not very many people will respond with "nice tangerine tornado". they would just say tang. so when i asked in the beginning what the difference between an emerine and a tangerine no one could actually answer until father down in the thread and even though i did say nice tangerine albino, it wasn't good enough.

 

[DarthGekko]

Good point Ken! Each to his own

 

[miamimike]

Nice tremper emerine caKed!!...big fan of this legitimate morph as well!!!.....

 

[fikken]

i really want a rainbow colored gecko

 

[Wandering Paddle]

robin is legit.
