Evolution of W&Y

[Griesi]

....in my hands 4 generations of W&Y females. All of them were so calm, I just had to take this picture!

from left to right:
normal W&Y, W&Y het APTOR, W&Y Tremper albino, W&Y APTOR.

I really like the wild look of the normal W&Y and I can`t wait for my first ones to hatch this year.
The older the W&Ys are, the more paradox markings they get- so I`m also really interested in seeing if the albinos will also develop some!
My plans are to bring W&Y into my APTOR project and to see how much colour and pattern the non-albino ones can get.

How do you tell them apart?

How do you tell them apart?

from what? Each other? One is het for nothing, the next het for APTOR, third one is an albino and fourth is an albino with patternless stripe marking- and all are W&Ys.

The only W&Y APTOR I kept. And she will stay! I already did the mistake to give you the red striped one

Never been a huge fan of W&Y but look forward to seeing what people working with them come up with. You have anything outside the box going on with yours?

 

[Griesi]

Travis, I know exactly what you mean- especially as it is sometimes difficult to even differentiate a normal leopard gecko from a W&Y! So why breed them at all?
It has some effects and I`m working on checking some of them on different morphs. The APTOR W&Y, I`m working on will probably look like a quite normal APTOR - but I have a hypotheses I`ll try to prove the next years.
And even if it doesn`t prove, I would really be happy to produce a W&Y Aptor with extensive high wide sides and an intense orange colour at the rest of the body. Beside that I`m playing around with bringing striped pattern into the W&Ys and even the F2-generation is quite promising. I have seen quite a few other projects and some of them are really outstanding! W&Ys are not enigmas, but they definitly can improve some things!

geckos, ahhh yes

I don't know that much or haven't seen all that many W&Y's.
All very nice....nice project too. But:
I guess questions to you would be, do you know
if that is a record for W&Y's in a hand?
Also would the male not attend for fear of each gal finding out
he's fooling around?
Great photo!
Take care. HJ​

Karsten ich hoffe du weißt wer ich bin. Die Aptor Bilder wären klasse

 

[volcom2]

Another question. Is this my W&Y Girl?

Regards

 

[Griesi]

Hi Mathes, geht noch ein wenig,...sorry!
Sorry, It will take some time. And no- this isn`t yours.

Great shot! I love how the W&Y Tremper albino is looking at the W&Y APTOR like "put your tongue back!"

They all just look so similar to me, I'd have to label the crap out everything so not to mix them up.

see the ones in the middle as development steps. If you compare the one on the left side with the one on the right side, you will have no problem telling them apart!

 

[stager]

Nice gecko and I love how you showed the stages. Great work

 

[Wild West Reptile]

Best of luck with your W/Y projects Karsten. Don't be stingy and hold on to everything, we need some solid W/Y's here in the U.S. too!

 

[PhoenixCoconut]

I like how you got the W&Y aptor licking. Do you have anything available??

 

[DonSam]

I LOVE the W&Ys..........must have some!
