Fat Tail morphs

[Halley]

How many fat tails morphs are there right now, and what are the allele types for each?

Thanks, Nick

I know one or two, the amels are rescesive The white socks are rescesive, and stripe phase might be dominant , the ones that i'm not sure about are patternless, abberant, ghost,( white out, stinger, zero, granite, JMG reptiles has produced these)and jungle, then i've heard of peach, tangerine, and lavender, but I don't really know i'f those are morphs or what, maybe somebody out there knows more than me.

oh, woops. I don't think stripe phase is a mutation, but I might be wrong

in the shop i use to work in they had a fantastic fat tail orange and lilac in colour such a tame little thing i would have got it but it had been sold before i had gotten all the stuff

For me you're right, because in the nature, the "stripe" form exist.
So generally, we can't say that stripe is mutation, it's simply natural.

true, but albinos exist in nature, they just dont last long.

also originally patternless come from wild caught stock. in fact i bet most of the diferant "morphs" that we currently see in fat tails probably occur in the wild too (white outs might be the exception).

it wont be untill we see multiple morphs in the same gecko (like albino white socks) that we are seeing something that you probably would never see in the wild.

Why don't they last long?

 

[Halley]

Albinos would stick out like a sore thumb, and get eaten right away by a bird or something.

 

[Malin2]

Oooh okey. Didn't think of that lol.

all the morphs we have today came in as WC adults (amel, patternless,abberant, ect..) breeders have been working on increasing colors in all the morphs, but all of the morphs did originate in the wild.

lecko, is that true for jmg's white outs also?

lecko, is that true for jmg's white outs also?

Im not sure but Ill ask jeff. Im pretty sure its something that popped up in his collection.
