Montanus Ghost Raptor - Project update..

[Dragoon Gecko]

Just a little update on how our babys from this project are doing:

1.) Montanus Ghost Raptor - baby


and now (+30 gr.) . This guys pastel body colours are hard to capture- I'll make some better pics of them soon..




2.) Montanus Ghost banded Raptor - baby


and now (+30 gr.).





3.) Paradox Ghost Raptor - Father of the above animals.
He also shows a very small eye pattern, which was really hard to capture on the pics- sorry for that :main_robin:.
But if you look carefully you will notice that the spot is not collective tissue of the eye, but still a part of the eyeball. This should proove the eye pattern to be at least inheritable in some way, as the father was obviously able to genetically pass his trait to his 2 sons. Time will tell us what's really behind .






At least it never gets boring with these guys- I'm devinitely looking forward for the next generation to come :main_thumbsup:.
Will throw in a W&Y het. Raptor female with Montanus Background for 2013 - and see what happens :main_laugh:

awesome geckos. just read about matt baronak and the marble eye in an old article and he crossed a marble eye with mack raptors and montanus so maybe you have some blood from there

I got all my Montanus-stuff only from pure Montanus, owned by Karsten Grieshammer.
So, it's a different background, but well.. time will tell .
Would be fun for sure to see a cross between those geckos and a marble eye ;-). I'm afraid I just won't have time and space for this due to my study.. If someone with breeding experience seriously want to try, pm me and we'll work something out.
