Hyper Melanistic hatchling?

[100yan]

This is what appeared in my incubator unexpectedly from Bell Sunglow x SHTCT het Bell albino - a Hyper Malenistic baby (on the photos bellow compared with a tang from different parents, but incubated at the same temperature and for the same period):

Time will show if this is just a casual variation in the colours, and if it will keep them as adult and transmit them to the generation. :main_robin:

I hope it stays dark for you. I have had very dark babies lighten considerably after a few months.

Yes, I know: anyway I am curious how this will end and if this is an exception, I'll be exceptionally happy

Very nice! :main_thumbsup: Post an update in a month or so :main_yes:

Huh, a Hyper from an albino paring...cool. Keep us updated.

Hey, guys, even after few sheds this individual is still very dark (on the photos bellow compared with a little bigger Tangerine):

PS: I do not dare to believe I am extremely lucky to produce such an animal in my collection before knowing how this film will end, but it definitively makes me more than happy.

Nice hypermelanistic leo :main_yes: :main_thumbsup: If you can get a second one of the opposite sex, you can start a Dark Project

Is it a male? For some reason, all dark geckos I see are female...

Very nice! It almost looks like an AFT he's so brown!! Maybe breeding it back to mom or dad would be worthwhile if it stays dark?

What you mentioned Chrissy is quite interesting - I did not know it! Mine is also a female, but not incubated at very low temperature. It was incubated together with several other hatchlings, which have normal colouration. :main_huh:

Absolutely! :main_thumbsup:

Yeah, or buy a Black Pearl to cross with it.

Yes, this is a common problem for people working on dark projects.. I do hatch them from time to time in one of my lines, and I also cooperated with Artlinksgeckos as we crossed my line with her black velvets. All I heard from other breeders is almost identical to my findings- that its hard to produce dark geckos, but even harder to produce dark males that will stay dark :main_thumbsup:..

Anyway, very nice gecko and my fingers are crossed for you :main_thumbsup:!!
