Introducing The Zulu!

[Imperial Geckos]

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.

This might help you out, not on the zulu morph, but on all morphs in general :main_thumbsup:

with these hatchlings (and all other aft hatchlings) the bands will not fade (nor the stripes) they will in fact become much more pronounced and bolder.

The adult that has started this new morph, has markings that are very broad and defined, not faded at all. We have actually hatched out a few more hatchlings, we just thought these were two good candidates.

Thanks

can you post pics of the adults please, im very interested in seeing the adults

 

[supperl]

Me, too. Pics of the parents would be pretty interesting

 

[EBH]

Nice!
And how does it look with the white stripe on the back?

 

[bittner_344]

Ill see what about the adult guys! More pics of our fatties soon to come!

Thanks, but I am aware of what was said in that thread. To me it was common sense. I just don't see how a morph can be considered a new morph with only 2 hatchlings to prove it out. *shrugs*

Again, sorry for sounding skeptical...

They are neat looking geckos.

 

[BSM]

he said they have hatched out more, the two are just for examples

 

[bittner_344]

Thanks Bryan, we have definitely hatched out enough babies to come to the conclusion that this is a new morph. All of our Zulu babies have this same "zulu" pattern on them. with no 'odd' ones out of the bunch. Sorry for the confusion.

thanks
Brett

May I ask if you already did the Patternless Caramel?

 

[bittner_344]

Wokring on it my friend!

 

[bittner_344]

Working*

 

[supperl]

I have a patty female with so much range on it I hope the Caramelpatty will look like this one ;-)

 

[Lecko my Gecko]

brett, do you guys have any double het patty/caramel yet?

 

[bittner_344]

We started that combo this year, along with a few other wicked combos! Still waiting for hatchlings!

 

[Drunkenmonkey]

Those look amazing, I really like the pattern of the tail on the caramel, and first Zulu you had posted.

 

[HepCatMoe]

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

 

[OhioGecko]

I know Craig had double hets on the regular Amel and Patternless, have you been able to hatch out an Amel Patternless yet?

 

[BSM]

so patternless and amels work!!!! I been under the oppression that amel x anything doesny work
