Is this a lavendar?

[LeosForLess]

I see people posting about lavendars that dont really look lavendar. This gecko is about at the stage where they stop changing, when super hypos lose all their spots, etc. Mom is a super giant and dad is a mack snow. I have a feeling it is more so influenced by mom but dad may have a little. And heres a mack that is related to him.

i was about to sell the normal as a normal, evne though its sorta big for a normal. And the lavendar ones lose the black a lot faster than the others. So it is worth it to hold on to them?

It's a nice gecko, but IMO Lavenders should come from a proven line where they're consistently thrown. So I say it's totally up to you...

Maybe you could say hes from Lavender Lineage or??? Could you post pics of his parents maybe?

Well, hes not a "normal" if one parent is a super giant. He would be a giant. When you sell it just descripe it like you did to us: "This gecko hatched from a super giant to mack snow pairing and has alot of lavendar color."

honestly, are any of the "lavender" lines proven? its just a color to describe well the color of the gecko. if it looks lavender and you want to call it a lavender, then so be it. being lavender doesn't mean it is from any proven line of lavender gecko. normally lavenders are simply normals

Hey Robin...I do have a cool line of lavendar Bells I'm working with that are starting to throw some pretty interesting babies...but it's a line bred project still at this point. If I ever have a minute I'll start a thread on here explain where they came from and where I'm planning on going with them. An all blue (or lavendar actually) Bell albino is my goal. The hardest part is reducing the pastel banding...but I have seen some progress each season.

paul i do not doubt that. the bells have such varying colors from light to darker to maroonish to redish to purpleish. through selective breeding i see you can make some more lavender than others. but as far as a proven genetic morph or line bred trait that consistently throws lavender offspring, there isn't one. well not yet.
when ya get time i would really like to see some of those photos
