Introducing The Zulu!

[bittner_344]

We’re really excited to introduce everyone to our newest morph that we’ve coined the Zulu. Craig named the morph after the famous African Zulu tribe because the morphs pattern was so similar looking to that of the Zulu tribes unique spear heads. Craig acquired the original founder male direct from Africa in 2007 and proved the trait recessive about six weeks ago. In addition to this exciting new discovery we were also fortunate enough to hatch out the first known double recessive mutation, the Caramel Zulu. This is a combination of our Caramel Albino crossed into the new Zulu. Craig has been working on this project for a few years now and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Man oh man do we love Fatties. There are so many exciting things happening with all the new mutations that the sky is the limit. Fatties rock!!!!


Wicked Llittle male Zulu!

....and next is our Awesome Caramel Zulu!

Last the two of them together!

Thanks for checking them out.

OHH GOD!! give me some!!!!

 

[Enigmatic_Reptiles]

That is awesome. Looks very nice. Is it a pure pattern trait or is there more to it that is not as noticeable?

 

[bittner_344]

Thanks Travis, Out of Hatchlings this year the pattern's as you can see here have been very consistent throughout the animals we have hatched.

 

[Enigmatic_Reptiles]

That's awesome. Congrats on them and I look forward to seeing this worked into other combos soon.

We're not to sure on the release date for these guys yet, possibly late this year, for sure early 2011.

 

[HepCatMoe]

very impressive geckos.

im curious, have you guys tried combining the zulu with the regular amel yet?

 

[gixxer3420]

Thats neat looking/ I heard craig had a new fatty morph. I can't wait to see more pics of them.

 

[Kristi23]

How long have you been working to get this morph?

I've seen some similar to it, but I can't think of what it was called.

 

[bittner_344]

The Zulu has been in the making since roughly three years ago.

 

[Imperial Geckos]

Brett,

is the Zulu he same thing as "the clown" (i saw a picture of it on Urban's Facebook)?

 

[bittner_344]

Imperial geckos, yes we decided to switch the two names and get rid of the clown name.
we thought "Zulu" was a better fit!

Take care!

Every time I look at the 2 hatchlings, they just remind me of something that I've seen.

My question is that how is something a new morph when it was just proven recessive just 6 weeks ago. Does 2 hatchlings really determine a new morph has been formed? To me, it just looks like a reverse stripe with some partial bands, most of which looks as though it'll fade.

What does the founding sir look like, since he's the one who started this "morph."

Sorry to sound so skeptical.


I will admit that when AFTs were just beginning, I remember when normal and amel were the only morphs, then stripe and stripe amel. Now, all these new morphs in the Fattie lines have been developed. It's amazing.
