Is this an Eclipse Eye???

[Paco]

Ok everyone here are a few eye shots of a Tremper Enigma het Raptor that might be a Nova. One of the Eyes was showing a good bit of Eclipse Eye trait after it's first shed. It's now starting to fade a bit but is still Visible. Let me know what you guy's think.

The First pic is of the non-Eclipse eye for reference.

Could it be just a bunch of dark veining that makes it look like a Eclipse eye???

I'd say yes, it's the "Eclipse" trait alright, but it will almost certainly fill in with the normal pigment as it ages.

In the past I have had RAPTOR x Normal Tremper not het for anything consistently hatch geckos that had that kind of pigmentation in their eye [sometimes even more]. I have not had one keep it past 6 months of age. So.. I don't know if you would call it an Eclipse or not.. But you can always test breed it and see what happens.

It was way more visible a week ago. So I had a feeling that it was going to fade by adulthood. Oh well I have pics a least.

Who would have thought that a Carrothead Jungle Albino Female could be a pos het Eclipse. I hope that the last to eggs from this female further back up her genetics. She sadly Ended up passing away a month or so ago just kinda otta the blue. :main_thumbsdown:

Sorry about the female--that part never gets any easier. I hope your last 2 from her are amazing. On the eye thing--that doesn't surprise me at all. I have a theory that any Tremper that is jungle/stripe or reverse stripe can produce Raptors when bred to a Raptor--even the ones produced in the years before the first aptor was produced.
