Making Emerines

[robin]

yes but as far as i can remember there has never been a line of "emeralds"

I've seen some for sale in the past on RTs site I believe, Few and far between though. I wish he would give more details on the history of the Emerald/Emerine lines, but I don't see it happening.

Yes, there have been. I have seen them on RT's site before. But they are not a regular morph that he lists up... They are far and few between, but they do exist.

 

[robin]

ok so he got a line of geckos from a line of his own geckos?

I am also confused.


Unless they mean he has both Emeralds AND Emerines. These particular Emeralds having no relation whatsoever to the Emerine line.

 

[KelliH]

So I'm more confused than ever. What exactly is the difference between an Emerald and an Emerine?

 

[StatikStepz]

An Emerine is RT's line that he created by crossing an EMERald and a TangerINE.

 

[StatikStepz]

An Emerald is a gecko where "green" dominates over the body.

 

[StatikStepz]

...and i'm sure that it wasn't done in the 1st generation... i'm sure it was a few years of breeding and selectively breeding the colors and all that.

where were these emeralds? as far as i know they were never released and never even seen for that matter. i am still confused how he makes a line out of his own line that nobody knew about or he even never went public with :O

 

[StatikStepz]

Go to RT's site, and go look at his Emeralds/Emerines page. It has a couple pix of Emeralds he has created.

I don't think an "Emerald" in a "line" that is his, necessarily (just as much as a "Tangerine" isn't a "line".. it refers to the type of gecko. I think it just describes a gecko where green dominates over the body. An Emerine, ok yes, that would be a line. But i don't think Emerald would be. So i assume he took this type of "colored" gecko to use as part of the mix for his Emerine line.

 

[KelliH]

So who produced the first Emeralds? I had never heard that name until the Emerines were released.

 

[StatikStepz]

I'm assuming RT aswell, because i have never seen them anywhere before i saw them on his site. Nor have i heard the name before his site. He probably got them after noticing some faint green from lavenders and then just bred it to more and more, making the green overlay more and more dominant over the body. (but then again, by that deffinition, that would kind of make it his own line, no? lmao... now i'm gettin confused! lol)

 

[HugeGenes&LoLa]

Well on the up side, we have a name for green geckos now.

 

[ILoveGeckos14]

Clovers?

 

[StatikStepz]

Clovers?

I think he is referring to Emeralds, lol

 

[ang3l3s]
