Lavender

[johnnyboy4783]

I seen somehting that says to hatch lavender incunbat at 84-86 degreees. are the normal leo's just incubated at the temp??

As far as I know -that temp range is for hatching female and mixed sexes of babies
I have read that lower temps equal darker babies and lighter temps result in lighter more vibrantly colored babies

I have no clue as to how it would apply to the Lavender pigment in Leos

I am sure that someone that is working with that color pigment in particular will be able to answer that

It is an interesting question

Well I wouldn't trust anything where you read that lol. Lavendor is a color morph. Those temps are the temps to hatch a mixture of male and females. Female temp is like 80-84 both 84-86 and like 86-88 male. I may not have those exact but those or close for being on the top of my head without looking it up.

yea thats what i thought thats why i was so cunfused wiht it

 

[malt_geckos]

I think there is a certain temp for lavendar.

 

[johnnyboy4783]

yes i confirmed it is 84-86 degress

It happens most often at those temps. However IMO genetics also seem to play a role in the amount of lavender coloration present. For example, Bright Albino's lavender bell line.

Yes if you want a good answer i would contact Paul from Bright Albino!
He is a great guy, and will answer any of your questions you have!

Okay Thanks was just asking because the high yellow female i have seem to look like she has lavender in her bands

My 2 that are Hi-Yellow Lavendors were just breed that way not with any messing with the temps. My lavandors are Vince and J. I have pics of them in the gallery.
