Super Snows and Tangs (and albino Tangs!)

[Anthony Caponetto]

Here's one of my "High White" Super Snows. We started breeding High Whites to High Whites this year and we're getting some babies that come out with a pattern already. This one pretty much looked this way when it hatched. Really cool.

This is the clutch mate to the one above. It has more black because the pattern is starting to run together into a stripe.

Here's a fully striped one that hatched about 5-6 weeks ago.

Here's mom...

Here's a little Tang Jungle Albino thingy...this project got off to a slow start this season, but hopefully the girls will produce a little better next year. The color on these is freakishly bright...unfortunately, they don't hold it as much as I'd like. Hopefully a little Tornado blood will fix that.

Here's one of the Tornado x Electrics from this year. This is about a 12 gram gecko and already one of my favorites.

This is his sister (different clutch). I took a picture of her because she's the least vibrant one this group has produced...and still a stunner.

This is a Tornado x Hot Geckos Tang...this guy is only about 10 weeks old. Big props to Dan the Fireman for creating the HG line!!!

Now for the coup de gras...Albino Tangs!

Here's a good reference shot to get your eyeballs ready...this is the most colorful of our unrelated Sunglows that I could find. These were all taken today with the same camera settings, etc.

Now here are some Albino Tangs.
We bred our Tornado to two really nice Raptor females to get these...and not for the Eclipse gene, but because they have almost full carrot-tails.

This little female always looks like she's in shed, which almost gives her a frosty pink color. She looks like she'll have about 90% carrot-tail.

Wow, Anthony! And to think I've been looking quite a while now for a Tang male. One more breeder to consider. Lookin' Fantastic! :main_thumbsup:

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I think the really extreme tangs and the HW super snows are my two favorite projects...can't wait to get those plugged into the Enigma for a couple generations.

beautiful collection

Very outstanding Collection. Thanks for showing them.........A couple questions, if I may.
"High White".?...being less side dotting on the SS? Are you working toward one row on a side? Would that be a high white?
What would your male look like that bred with the listed female? .........
Main reason I ask is I currently have a young male that looks very close to your female......No, don't wish to give him up but might be interested in trading some stock.......Next season would be his first year with my SS female...........Any Interest in talking about it....PM me.
Take care. HJ.

Hi HJ,

Yep, I call them high white or reduced pattern (six to one, half a dozen to the other. lol) if they have an unusually high amount of white in comparison to the black spots. Some really nice ones only have 4 rows of spots, as opposed to the usual 6, but that's not a requirement or anything.

Honestly, you can find them if you look hard enough. Once I found one at a show, I fell in love, so I started asking around and I ended up finding like four or five within about a year.

This is the male that sired the ones above. He's one of my favorite geckos, hands down.

Here's another one. Believe it or not, I was stupid enough to put this guy up for sale last year (thinking I didn't need an extra male) but I was fortunately able to get him back. He's huge now (almost two years old) and looks exactly like he did in this picture...faded spots and all.

We have a pretty good little group of them, but I'm always interested in finding more. If you get some babies like that next year, by all means, look me up.

Really great stuff, Anthony! Thanks for sharing! I look forward to seeing more of these projects in the future. Those tangs are smokin'! :main_cool3: I really like the "Tang Jungle Albino Thingy". Very unique-looking!
