Now I see what your thinking Alberto, good luck with it bud, hope it proves out! On rons main page, the top left link says Super Raptor

Is not the eclipse gene that should cause the gecko to be all black, but the Mack snow gene, the eclipse should just lock in the color.

I see what you are saying but I honestly do not see it happening... I am fairly certain that the only way we will be seeing an all black leo is when a genetic melanistic pops out... At this rate it is bound to happen sooner or later... I just do not see this as a thing that can be achieved by mixing morphs...
Thats just my personal opinion...

Good luck with that though...:main_thumbsup:

I have to agree with Gregg on this one-the genetics of this ostensibly "black" gecko are by no means cut and dried. I give it a 50% chance of success. And even if/when it IS successful, a lot of line breeding will be required to get a really nice "Black Leopard". Or, better yet, "Black Panther"!

Hey, can I copyright a new gecko name without actually breeding it first?

Anyway, it will be interesting to see who comes up with it first. Ron has the advantage of numbers, and a few weeks head start with the first Super Raptor-but there's a big random genetic factor here, so Alberto has almost as much chance. At any rate, I know they are both good friends and whoever gets it, the first call of congrats will be from the other....

I'm very excited to see how this project unfolds
