odd hatchling...

[Syris71]

Great pictures and very unique looking. Curious to see the 1st shed too.

this is obviously a bell patty, lol


It looks like a house geckos pattern, only darker. That is really cool! I cant wait to see it grow up! hopefully this means visible het or somthing haha

 

[bro paul]

do you have pics of any clutchmates

The other egg from this clutch went bad early on... :main_thumbsdown:

 

[boutiquegecko]

Do his eyes still appear solid? Hmmmm, could it be a patty bell with some odd eye things going on? Clutch mate hatch yet?

Cool Hatchling. Congrats.

I think that the bell patty may be a possibility here to be honest. It's apparent that bell genes are hard to get into some morphs(as you know). Is it possible that when those genes align, they bring out a dark pigment and an eye mutation.

Obviously it's all speculation at this point, but I thought I'd throw that idea out on the table to ponder.

cool good luck with that paul, def cant wait to see updates, look likes theres some faint pattern on it under there.

 

[nwheat]

What an awesome little hatchling!!! I can't wait for updates on this one!!

 

[SteveB]

Interesting...

 

[PrototypeGeckos]

Wow Paul, sweet little funky hatchling you got there, I am wondering the same thing Paul is, I wonder if the Bell and Patternless gene coming together would do something like that to the body and eye color? Definately a possibility in my opinion!! I hope so for your case.

But wouldnt the albinism cancell out the black pigment not induce it?

 

[paulnj]

should.. but what if that "unlocked gene" was more dominant that the albino gene.....

Believe me, I'm no Stephen Hawking, but I did stay at a holiday inn express.

 

[yellermelon]

Well yeah If a "New" gene present that would be different.

 

[chad ramsey]

i think you just found a new eye gene in bells... well it looks that way at least.

 

[paulnj]

took it into photoshop and it's not solid eyed from what I could see.....

 

[jmlslayer]

how can you tell in photoshop?

 

[david13]

very cool leo

 

[paulnj]

open shadows, adjust exposer. play with levels, curves..... many ways

I'm done trying to predict the outcome of tomorrow's lottery drawing so to speak...:main_rolleyes:

 

[snared99]

Very kool paul! great stuff

 

[bro paul]

Thanks again for the comments
I looked as closely as I could at the eyes early today using a pen light and still could not tell. I thought I saw a pupil in one eye and not the other?? I'll be checking everyday until I know for sure...
