Everyone Has Their Crosses to Bear...

[Dog Shrink]

So I finally had hubby take a couple shots of Eros' back. He has this really great almost iron cross looking markings to him. I think his pattern is just stunning, the heart on his nose, the heart on his back, the cross pattern of his bands, his color... but then again I think I'm bias

He has grown a bit since I got him on Oct. 1 and has had some more spotting come in, but I'm just loving it... his personality is hilarious, yet sweet, and he's settled in really nicely. So I guess the only cross he'll have to bear is the one on his back

Sorry for the crappy cell pix. It seems to be the only thing around when he strikes a pose. I was thinking of drawing out the spotting pattern on his back up to the light cresent on the back of his head with the 2 black spots, in person it looks like some sort of tribal cat type thing (I told hubby I'd call it diablo gato since it looks kinda like a cat). I think it'd be a pretty neat tattoo design.

Im still waiting for the GOOD pix. I wanna see this guy! Is his heart on his nose changing shape at all, or still a heart?

 

[Dog Shrink]

Nope still a heart no change. You're gonna make me wake him up and take him outdoors for some pix aren't ya

 

[Desdemona]

Wow, even with the blurry pics you can tell he's a cool looking gecko!!

he does look beautiful...that cross really makes him.. i have same problem getting good pics of my little guy...I want to wait until I get a really decent one so you all will love him as much as I do!

 

[Dog Shrink]

Well just for you Tara, I got him out, and believe me he was NOT happy, Tried to get some good pix, but... my digital camera really is worse than my crappy cell phone pix there is no macro setting on it. Guess I know what I'm asking santa for

I did however manage to get a couple that wern't horrid. In my kitchen with 2 huge windows and the overhead fluorescent light on. The only edit I did was resize and take down some of the overly bright lighting.

So that's the best I can do for ya for now Tara until Santa comes thru. It was odd seeing him in natural day light... I never take him out during the day. I was surprised to see so much yellow coming in on him. At night he doesn't look nearly that yellow. You can play connect the hearts with his spots

He's GREAT ! :main_laugh::main_yes::main_thumbsup:

Good LORD Eve.... you're such a sweetheart and soooo poetic or would that be PUNetic There's a slew of pix of him in my photo album.

[Dog Shrink]

Awww shucks.... thanks Eve

 

[Kristi23]

He has a really nice pattern.

 

[tlbowling]

Eve is creative with naming geckos, and word puns! I didnt mean for you to have to wake him up, now I feel bad. But thanks...I can tell he's beautiful....love his hearts and his cross. I hope Santa pulls through too!

 

[Dog Shrink]

I didn't have to wake him up He was sitting in his hide with his eyes open so we did the lil photo shoot. Don't feel bad BUT he def. was NOT happy about the brightness for sure.

Kel, I have a mack snow female that has a pattern close to your boy... you should breed them together and make more crosses

 

[Dog Shrink]

Ya know Robert I was wondering if you would be able to duplicate that pattern... We could call them Iron Cross Leos could you post a pic of her? GOD I HATE the new mapquest redesign, I wanted to see how far you were, well it's only a 9 hour trip to get them together

 

[RAlbrecht]

The bottom one is a younger pic of her... but there you go

 

[Dog Shrink]

Awww she's Purty.... I'm sure Eros would LOVE spending some time with her do you think something like that pattern could be reproduced? I mean heck if they can reproduce stripes and other morphs then why not really. In theory is SHOULD work right?
