I have a stupid question?

[lillith]

So...I'm trying to figure out fatty morphs...I'm trying to keep up with JMG and Urban and Geckos, Etc., and fattalis.net; but how many morphs are there? Is there an exhaustive list anywhere?

I wanted to find out about caramels in particular...it looks like they're simple recessive, yes? can you have a very tangerine caramel? I think I found one, but I wanted to ask first...how much would something like that sell for normally?

Can't really answer your questions but I will say that we've been trying at Gecko Time to get someone to write an article about fattie morphs. Any takers?

Caramels are not as bright as amels. Tangerine Amels are much brighter and get alot more orange than Caramels.

 

[gixxer3420]

Caramels sell for $900 and higher.

Quite a comprehensive list, Carinata. I thank you for it.

May I ask what is your favourite species of gecko?

Inquiring minds want to know.



Just my opinion, but I've always been partial to the fat-tailed. Striped amels are nice as are banded. Rhacodactylus (crested) certainly is a fine example. Though I can't leave out the following great examples:

Diablo blancos, enigmas, raptor, macks and tangerines.


Post script:

There is no such thing as a stupid question! The only thing stupid is anyone to disagree.
Any gecko, in my mind, is the one to own.
