For Robin... Buttercup and Tinkerbell

[KelliH]

Here's Buttercup and Tinkerbell

 

[robin]

aww how old are they now?

 

[KelliH]

Hey, they hatched in 2003 and they are 2 of the gems in my leo collection.

 

[robin]

aww i miss them!!

 

[Kotsay1414]

:Raises Hand: Oh Oh I think I know the answer!

They`re Nieves-line Tang Stripes, and the one Robin got lucky:main_laugh: and it was/is a Reverse Stripe.

 

[robin]

i produced both of them and yes neives lines. sisters actually stripe and reverse stripe. those are about as pure nieves as you are going to get now a days. mom was pure nieves and dad was 75% nieves. BUT no hypo lines(no hine line or HQR red stripe) in them only tang

they are breeding right now.. so they have darkened up but they to shine and brighten up nicely outside of season.
this is a bloodline that you wont get anymore... these guys are true gems

kelli has had them for almost 4 years now

Are they being bred to neives male to try to keep the line? Love to see some of the babies.

 

[eyelids]

I saw these in the photo gallery, but didn't know what they were. Very cool!

 

[jmkbama]

they are very cool.

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

Awww... they are pretty sistas!

 

[DanTheFireman]

They've made a bunch of killer babies, still have some good eggs left in them, eh ?

 

[nwheat]

Next to Electra...

Buttercup is one of my all time favorite geckos.
Kelli I need a Buttercup baby. Will you have any available this year?

kelli says they are both being bred to a striped bell this year.

one of the problems is, you can not find any 100% nieves males or females out there. these really are the last of the last of the nieves tangs.

 

[robin]

here is their daddy, target (buttercup and tinkerbell. roxy's pictured below, is his mother)

excuse the crap pic i have another that was taken a few years back when he was fully grown but i cant find it

 

[KelliH]

OK, here are two Tinkerbell babies. Their dad is a Striped Bell. The second pic is of my favorite gecko ever, Roxy (so foxy). She is Tinkerbell and Buttercup's grandmother. She is pictured with the male I bred her to this year, who happens to be her great grandson.

 

[robin]

just to let you know. roxy is the original female responsible for the electric line (electras mom). hard work and good lines pay off eh?

way to go kelli

 

[trizzypballr]

how does the nieves line work? Its linebred im guessing. Exactully what is it?
