Finally!!! Ghost Montanus Raptor

[Dragoon Gecko]

After having a really bad start in the season, and after loosing one baby so close before hatching (maybe some of you still remember the thread about the dead born Montanus (Ghost) Raptor some weeks ago)
I can hardly believe that I finally made the breakthrough in one of my favourite projects which took me 3 years in total:

Hatched on July 10th, this should be the first Ghost Montanus Raptor. It was really hard catching this guys real colours, so I made pics with different lightning.
In natural light


In lightbox




And one macro shot in natural light showing the different pale colours (caused by xantophores & iridophores as I guess) on the back.


As bonus, this little one might have giant genetics aswell, but time will tell.
Can not put in words how relieved and happy I am right now to see he/she is big and healthy :smitten:..

Thanks a lot everybody !! What you guys say really means so much to me..

I havn't made a desicion yet, but I guess it will not be easy to let it go as this little one already has a special place in my heart :heart:.
I do have some nice siblings for sale from this project (including the first Ghost Eclipse Montanus) and still some few eggs cooking from this group, so I keep my fingers crossed for some nice stuff ..
