Potential Holdbacks...

[kkigs]

A few quick snaps of some of the representative animals for future projects. They certainly all look better in hand!

Possible Giant/Super Giant BOLD:

Giant, probably Super Giant Bold, het RAPTOR:

Bold Stripe X Red Stripe Bell:

Giant Tremper Sunglow X JMG Blood Hypo. The Hypo is het Tremper, unexpectedly... go figure.

Great looking geckos, I can definitely see why they are holdbacks. I love that Bold x Red Stripe cross.

Nice hb there. I like the BS x RS project. It would amaze you if you actually test bred all geckos (not just yours...anyone) animals and really found out how many have hidden hets.

Yeah, I wouldn't use "amaze", I think I would lean towards "terrify" or "mortify". I bought that hypo from a very well known, popular and reputable dealer. What if I had decided to breed it to a Bell, or Las Vegas instead? Then what? Clearly, it's easy to hypothesize that there is s significant number of unknown multi-het animals running around the market. The father of that second bold is a super giant, NOT het Tremper, and I have another super well on the way to proving out as well (6 out of 6 not albinos). But now I have to test a couple of females...

That first bold is actually not the nicest of the group so far, she just happened to be out at the front of her tub when I started snapping pics! There are a couple in that project that I'm really happy with. And yeah, the bold/red stripes came out pretty nice all the way around.

Nice looking geckos! Looks like you have some good projects going on.

It's not the first time someone has posted a gecko from them that turned out to be het for a unknown genetics.
