Shar-pei Leopardgeckos

[Griesi]

some interesting guys with a little too much skin. It doesn`t disturb them at all.

An Anolis macularius ?

 

[shadowx362]

They all look very cool. I would love to have one of those

 

[David Loftin]

Usally when their skin is peaked/pinched like that.. its a sign of dehydration.

 

[Griesi]

Usually. But they are born like this and you can hydrate them as much as you want to- the skin stays that way :main_yes:

 

[puppiesandkitties]

They don't seem dehydrated. They were fat and looked healthy. If they were dehydrated, the tails would also be wrinkly.

Like how popular are these? And how easy are these to find and their average price?

Did you breed them, or is someone else?

 

[Harmurray]

I also have hatched some of these and they carry on into adulthood. I hatched a solid eyed hypo eclipse that is now almost 2 years old and she has skin like this. I also hatched this one below....

Is the RAPTOR in the last two pic's is it a parent ? and the young one all it's offspring ?.A new genetic trait ? wrinkled RAPTOR's :main_laugh: .Was the other parent related ? not related not wrinkled ?.Dose it seem dominant ?.recssive ?.

The adult RAPTOR is the father of both youngsters and the mother (APTOR het RAPTOR- no "Shar-Pei-Look" visible) seems to be related to the male.
Till now, I doubt that it`s something genetic. The female MIGHT be het for it- but there could be a lot of other factors causing this. So, for me they are just some nice geckos with a little too much skin, so far.

I hatched a RAPTOR last year that had too much skin around her neck like that.

 

[Halley]

I have one BB female that has a little beard on her neck. I wondered if she was dehydrated for a while, expect it never went away. It would be an interesting project to work on though.

 

[elphani]

I would not breed such leos... although they are not desturbed because of that and behave normally. Could be a sign of inbreeding!
But lovely little hoppers !

 

[Mel&Keith]

We actually had a RW that had wrinkles like that (purchased in a group of Leos) who only lived to about 6 months and we hatched a Raptor that looked the same that only lived for a few days. I wonder what the cause is...?

 

[yellermelon]

I have a rw female like this. She is normal other than a bit smaller. I have a giant het tremper like this that has nothing at all wrong with her other than too much skin..I was gonna watch and see what happened. Didnt know this many existed..

 

[Kristi23]

I have Marcia's raptor with the extra skin. I think she's adorable.

 

[Bodon]

I would say dehydration as well, but they all look very healthy so it must be some genetic trait.

 

[fallen_angel]

One of our Mack Snows that we hatched this year had too much skin like that as well.. I would consider it something like dwarfism, perhaps just a mutation that can happen from time to time?

 

[Halley]

I think I would really like to selectively breed these geckos. I seriously doubt that there is inbreeding, with the amount of them their seems to be.

 

[randy p]

This sounds genetic f 2 and its their ,Looks like a fun projet to test out. Randy

 

[godzillizard]

I've produced a few of these from the (r)aptor project, and I have one Tremper Blazing that also has this "shar-pei" look. My first Raptor from my giant Aptor females emerged like this--she's doing great, but really should be a pet only...not a trait we should try to amplify in my opinion
