APTOR x TUG Tangerine Tornado Bandit

Thank you! This one is really neat...every time I pull it's drawer it's color shocks me!

Wow, very nice. I love #3 from the RAPTOR x Snowglow Enigma pairing. Such a beautiful gecko!

Than you! This one hatched with that "Y" shaped white stripe and the pastel coloring popped up within the last two sheds.

Thanks!

Nope, the "helpful" third party was the cleaning lady's kid, mine was really adamant about not breeding the enigma gene. The kid knew the enigma was a male and the females were in the rack and wanted to see a little action...Luckily my son caught him and that was the only female he had time to put it in with. She had already been exposed to a regular snow glow. My kid didn't tell me because he knew I'd flip about her kid messing with the geckos. Needless to say, the enigmas were a big surprise to me. I actually posted them as hatchlings here and said "not enigmas, what could they be" before my son came clean! The gecko room is now kept locked when other children and the cleaning lady are in the house. :main_laugh:

Bright side, I guess, is that those four are stunning...

All of them are rally nice. Love the first three, and wouldn't breed enigma myself but those are killer

 

[lora01fl]

Thank you!

We didn't plan to breed the enigma and won't again :main_no:

 

[mörten]

Wow those are some very pretty geckos! Awesome babies

Very nice babies. Question though. You have the first three as being rainwater by firewater. If that was the cross, all babies should be albino. Is the one parent a het firewater?

Thank you.

You would think so right?

Here are rather crummy pictures of the parents:
Female Rainwater

Male Firewater


Both were purchased as juvies from **** at different Florida Repticons. They were bred exclusively to each other; absolutely sure no other male was ever introduced to her. When the first two hatched out darker (orange and light/dark brown) than we thought they should be we double checked eggs and dates....waited for the next set to hatch with the same results...She laid four clutches: 2 fertile eggs, 2 infertile, 2 fertile, 2 infertile. The four that hatched look like the three above. I labeled them as the cross that was made for the photos. Is it possible that the homozygous tangerine phenotype from the firewater is being expressed? Obviously we don't know what the heck happened here, but these are beyond a shadow of a doubt produced by the male and female above.

Eggs are/were place into individual geo containers based on male/female pairings, so we know these are correctly labeled.

Any ideas?

Ok, thank you, I hadn't thought of that.

Just in case anyone assumes otherwise, I do not feel that the breeder has done anything wrong. I will edit out his name until he has time to look at this. I used the name of the breeder so that the collective "you" knew that they came from a reputable breeder, not to persecute any one in any way.
