Gorgeous animals! Are the male and first female Patternless Stripes?

I know somebody who wishes a certain male was that prolific... ;)

hmm...

Well, I'm pretty low key.

I browse the forums when I have spare time, but posting anything is quite rare. I've been keeping/breeding geckos since the mid/late 90's and used to post on the older forums (fauna/ks) on a regular basis. I'm part of the "old school" gecko family haha

LOL, Jon... yes you are! (Just wait until you are part of the really old, old school gecko family...) It's great to see you posting pics of your beauties again! I always enjoy seeing them. (BTW, the gorgeous tang girl I got from you a few years ago is doing great... close to 80 grams).

updates

Here is a quick update:

Photo 1 is from the first mating pair of adults pictured on page 1 of this thread: patternless stripe x patternless stripe
(babies from clutch 2, you can see clutch 3 is dimpling and babies hatched about 16 hours later)

Photos 2 and 4 (both photos of the same clutch, clutch 7): patternless stripe x red stripe

Photo 3 (clutch 11): patternless stripe x red stripe (female is different than above pairing)

Some of you may be wondering how clutch 11 hatched before clutches 8, 9, and 10. I incubate all my gecko eggs together, so there may be different species cooking in the same container. Each species has genetic variability for embryo development, even if all the eggs are incubated at the same temperature.

I've been doing this for years without any adverse affects, sometimes having knobtails, fattails, cresteds, and leo hatchlings all together! The funniest part is when they do the mouth open scream since the different species make slightly different pitched squeals!

Some of the hatchlings look almost "albino" like when they hatch, although none are albinos. Once they shed they get the dark grey/black on their heads and certain parts of their body.
