Mr.T broke the 100g mark!!!

[ILoveGeckos14]

He's one of the first little love joys we got.

Male Tangerine Dorsal Stripe about a year and half old. 103g no giant gene that we know of. We're trying to do an experiment to compare weight and size of hatchlings from larger than normal geckos vs. those with giant genes to see if they have equal distribution or....?

I pity the fool who can't VOGUE!!!! lol

The original breeder hasn't gotten back to us yet as to what his origins are but as far as we know some of the only people that have sold tangerine dorsal stripes like him are BrightAlbino and Albey at one time. One can only hope!! :main_laugh::main_laugh:

he is a big boy

 

[robin]

you used to get quite a bit of dorsal striping in nieves line tangs but i doubt he has any nieves in him as that genes is almost long lost and been bred out :yes:

 

[ILoveGeckos14]

The tangerine section of Bright albino, first row last pic to the right. That male looks very similar, especially with the green saddle on his back and that is the one that's from albey's stock. That's interesting you mentioned the Nieves Tangerine since he works with them in his tangerine line! That would be awesome, keepin' the dream alive!! lol

 

[robin]

who keeps nieves going?

 

[ILoveGeckos14]

I'm not sure if he keeps them going but to my understanding Paul Allen was working with nieves tangerines.

 

[ILoveGeckos14]

Were you looking for Kelli at HISS perhaps, because I just looked into it a little further lol

 

[robin]

kelli at hiss has some nieves crosses but as for 100% nieves you are not going to find them. the most nieves that i know of is a female of kelli's (Roxy, so Foxy) and a gecko that i had named "Target" that died a few years ago they were roughly 75% nieves.. hmm this is interesting

 

[Wandering Paddle]

I may be wrong, but i think Paul Allen has some Nieves tangs

 

[robin]

i would be interested in getting some nieves and knowing where he got his.

 

[ILoveGeckos14]

From what his site says his nieves are from HISS. Seems like they might not be 100% neives that he got.

It's awesome you had a 75% nieves, Robin. Do you have any pictures of "Target" to share? hehehe I want to get a good idea of their look.

 

[robin]

i have one somewhere on one of my broke computers if i find one i will ppst it

 

[ILoveGeckos14]

Cool. Thanks for the info.

 

[robin]

i am going to make a new thread so not to hijack your anymore. i found some photos

 

[rawson5084]

Very nice

 

[cj.thomas21]

Big boy. Nice gecko.

 

[ILoveGeckos14]

So an update, we asked the breeder at the show today and it turns out Mr.T is from Albeys line of Tangerine dorsal stripes. That would explain why the pics look so similar. This makes things more exciting!
