Making Emerines

[thestack510]

If you don't recognize breeders lines that's up to you, but the fact is that different Tangerine lines can and often do have their own distinct looks. Nieves didn't look like other lines, Blood Hypos don't look like other lines, and so on. To imply that all Tangs are the same is more bogus than anything else I've read on this thread, and in my opinion discounts the hard work of many well respected breeders who have worked for years to selectively breed and foster certain traits. Would you say that R2 Bolds are Bandits? They are similar, but the result of different breeders projects. Do some reading about polygenic traits and you might come to understand. Morphs and lines are very different things.

k i am going to show you three geckos. tell me what they are. what lines? what characteristics.

oh by the way ken, the "bandit" is a genetic head pattern associated with stripes, not necessarily bold stripes. some of the R2's have that but not all of them. R2's are not bandits and are bold stripes

Slapping someone else's line name on a gecko that isn't from those lines because it looks the same is the equivalent of infringement and/or counterfeit.

what about vice versa?

Exactly my point, SIMILAR but DIFFERENT. There are Bold Stripe Bandits as well, but you wouldn't call an R2 Bold Stripe with a nose marking a Bold Stripe Bandit, would you?. Riddle me this Batman: Why is it that the Emerine brings this argument to a boil every time and not ANY other line of Tangerines? People just love to hate I guess.

answer my questions about the geckos above mr. ken

 

[thestack510]

Again... That's my point, they are DIFFERENT.

also i can look at a gecko and tell if it is an R2 or R2 cross

 

[thestack510]

answer my questions about the geckos above mr. ken

Why are you calling on me to tell you what gecko lines you have? I wouldn't know, but hopefully you would. If your asking if any of those geckos is similar to any Emerines I've seen then I would say yes, but that doesn't make it an Emerine does it? The author of this thread said in essence that he would label his geckos with other people's line names, which is wrong wouldn't you agree, or will you argue just for the sake of argument?

With all due respect to the above posters and to the breeder population in general, I think the only way we as a community can solve this problem is to collectively identify basic color morphs. From there on, we can allow ourselves to be more detailed.

For example, all orange geckos are tangerines. Good. Great. Beyond that, people have come up with more detailed descriptions based on the lines. Tornadoes, SHTCTB, Blood tangs, firewater or whatever, etc.

There needs to be one for green now, too. I don't care what it is. But there needs to be a way to identify the color. Greenbacks, Green clovers, whatever. Beyond that, individual breeders can lay claims to their line. Tremper can call his the Emerine "clover" or something, because he founded the emerine line. Other people can call theirs the Greenback something. The point is there needs to be a basic identification method prior to laying claims. There are simply too many breeders making green geckos to ignore it anymore. They need a name.

OGs clovers. Tremper Emerine clovers. R2 clovers. Ghoulish clovers. They all have the basic name of the gecko AND retain their possessive line. (I just took a few examples from the ads)

Sorry clover was the best I could come up with. I'm not very intuitive or creative. Thanks for your time...

Quote miner haha... LOL. This is not to offend anyone... I have just been reading various stuff on quote mining lately >.>

I don't seem to understand the logic in ANY of the post above... About tangs and emerines...

 

[thestack510]

How are different lines of Tangs the same while different lines of Bold Stripes are not?

 

[StatikStepz]

There is another well established breeder who will be releasing his own line of Emerines soon, but I'll wait for him to stop dangling the carrot before I mention his name. His line also sprung from Tremper lines I believe, but he has been working with his group for a number of years, and I assume crossing into them to create a separate line.

I bet this man's 1st name is Steve... heh

If so, then i know the same info that you know! bwahahahaaaa!!!

 

[thestack510]

Chris, have you been watching Scooby Doo? :main_laugh:

 

[StatikStepz]

ZIIIKES!!!!

Ok, you caught me... but i'm right, aren't I? lol - If so, i'm just as excited about this as you are! I can't wait till this person drops the "bomb" and releases em either... I will deff. be picking up one or 2 myself to be adding to my Emerine collection. I know the kind of animals he produces, and if they are anything like that, then i'm sure they will be top quality geckos!

 

[Allee Toler]

It's ZOIKS. Not ZIIKES. Lolololol.

 

[thestack510]

Jinkies! :main_laugh:

 

[StatikStepz]

It's ZOIKS. Not ZIIKES. Lolololol.

Wow, i'll take ur word for it, if you felt strongly enough about it to correct me, then i am just going to go with it, and assume you are correct and used to (or still do, i dunno) watch alot of Scoob!

lol


Alrity then... ZOIIIIKS! it is... (i can say it pretty good, but didn't know how to spell it till now, lol)
