GECKO PROJECT: PUTTING THE "P" BACK IN R.A.P.T.OR!!

[eric]

The R.A.P.T.OR has and always will be one of my favorites! But it seems to me that there are way more "patterned" R.A.P.T.ORs than true "patternless" R.A.P.T.ORs out there. Am I alone? A couple challenges still await like putting more color in them and still keep that patternless look!:main_thumbsup:

Here are some of my offspring from this years "patternless" R.A.P.T.ORs project.

The last two are developing more pattern than I'd like to see so will be working on that.

That second one is STUNNING.

I have to stop looking at the pics here. I'm going to end up buying a ton more geckos!
EEEK!

 

[kiwigecko]

[eric]

[reptinut]

Wow! Very nice! Especialy as of late most of the RAPTORS i've seen are..."ho-hum"

 

[spykerherps]

Nice project Eric . I have been working or at least thinking to do the same don't like those dirty raptor want to clean them up. Great minds think alike.:main_thumbsup:

 

[eric]

Very nice!
It would be cool to see more `true` raptors out there again...
Nice and orange, loads of carrottail, patternless etc etc

Nice 2 c someone is putting the animal 2 the name, nice work eric!!!!

I agree with you. I always thought "banded raptor" sounded a bit oxymoron-ish, seeing as it's a patternless albino. Nice geckos!

exactly banded eclipse albino but noooo they wanna call them raptors

i'm here with you eric...that's why i'm keeping mine "clean" they're not from hets etc....perfect for putting into any project etc.

 

[Neo.Reptiliac]

Those do look great and I totaly agree. A raptor shouldnt have bands or anything like that it should be patternless. I wish we lived closer. I would let you use my raptor for some of your breeding. He is a great canidate for the ideal raptor. Carrot on his tail almost to the tip and a bright orange and peach patternless body.

They are gorgeous Eric! I definitely prefer the true patternless ones, too. I just can't seem to hatch any this year.

 

[ElapidSVT]

looking good, eric!
as far as raptor and patternless... i dont' think it makes a lot of sense to have 4 or 5 'morphs' with the identical GENOTYPE.

 

[Sunrise Reptile]

#2 is definitely the "Cream of the Crop"!

On the other hand, I dunno... I kinda like the RERS you were producing. And I'm sure I'm not alone.

 

[Boanerges]

Congrats on all of them but that second one is amazing!!! What a beautiful tail that one has!!! Congrats again!!!

 

[Condaman74]

I agree I think the ''classic'' RAPTOR is the only one that should be called a RAPTOR. And number two is the definition of eye candy
