i've not much experience hatching eclipse gecko's of any form, so far i've hatched 14 gecko's over a couple of seasons but they have all been full eyed offspring from full eyed parents, with the exception of a single enigma that was from two hets, she hatched with a snake eye and a normal eye but as she grew the snake eye reverted to normal, which i thought was weird
so my question is can you get full eyes from snake eyes and can you get snake eyes from full eyed parents and is my reverted eclipse enigma still likely to pass on her eclipse gene visualy in her offspring??

Just from our breeding results, offspring from snake-eyed Eclipse parents can exhibit pretty random amounts of Eclipse eyes. From snake-eyed Eclipse het Tremper x snake-eyed Eclipse het Tremper we've gotten a solid eyed Raptor, snake eyed Eclipses that stayed and and some that faded, and Eclipses with one solid eye and one normal eye.

ya pretty random. I have gotten a solid roby eye raptor from two het parents that are not exibiting the eclipse gene at all. though I think your chances of hatching out more ruby eyed hatchlings with both ruby eyed parents goes up. ya or na to those with more experience.

I've only hatched 50 or so RAPTORs, and they came from a variety of solid, snake, and het Eclipse animals. With that said, I did see a difference last season when I used a double solid eye male, the double solid eye number of hatchlings went up significantly, although there were still a number of double snake and 1 solid and 1 snake eye hatchlings.
