I truely do not understand how that last female is a "Tornado Glow" . Even if all those geckos are purchased from TUG, and are 100% het Tremper... In order for the last one to BE a glow... It MUST be albino...



No disrespect intended. They are all quite beautiful... Also a great project. I look forward to seeing the babies...

cheers,

No, you couldnt call it a new morph. The difference is that the Tornadoes have been selectively bred for many generations to achieve their disctinct look. Thats how a line is made, is something that take many years of work and also stands out from the other lines and have a specific ancestry/bloodline. Even if you have an insanely red gecko, you could never call it a Tornado because it doesnt descend from Tornado bloodline. Also if you cross a Tornado to a SHTCT, the offpsrings coulnt be called Tornado either, they would be called SHTCT Tornado Cross because BOTH parents need to be Tornadoes to produce Tornadoes.

I hope this explais it all. Regards!
Mmm...kind of? First you said that they've been selectively bred for a "distinct look," but then you said you could have a leo that looks the same as they do, and it still wouldn't be a tornado. So I guess my confusion lies in whether or not there's anything different about them from others except their origin, which was my original question.

I do understand there's OTHER breeders working with TUG Tornados... So for me.... my question is not with the liniage... I just want to know how a NON albino... is a GLOW?

Tangerine Tornadoes ARE SHTCTB's it is the Urban Gecko's line of them. Selectively bred for the Best Colour. But other than origin, and bloodline, a 'Tangerine Tornado' IS a line bred Super Hypo Tangerine Carrot Tail Baldy. It is just that.

Thank you for explaining. I was trying to figure out how a Tornado and a SHTCTB with darker, more red coloring were different, but they are the same thing minus the proper bloodline.

Ok, that helps. I have a very dark SHTCTB with reddish coloring to him, so I was getting confused with the Tornado's being SHTCTB, but being called Tornado's but I think I understand now, my guy looks just like a tornado though: IMG_20121213_091104.jpg

My tornadoes are breeding from a TuG Sunglow, and my right tornadoes are tornadoes.



OK... Then is is you who is confused. TUG SUNglows are NOT Tornadoes. A TORNADO GLOW is a TUG SUNGLOW (albino)TORNADO... And unless that last female is an albino.... it is not a "TORNADO GLOW"..
