Unexpected Surprise

[andrea7777]

When i looked into the incubator yesterday I found a hatchling whose pattern is a big surprise. From an unwanted (accidental ) pairing of a non albino Tangerine with a Tremper Albino ( from Sunglow het Raptor/het Aptor parents) I received this:

Its really surprising which unexpected way genetics can go
Here are pictures of the parents

Wow I cant wait to see how that one matures. I love how the feet are black with the toes being white. And the top of the tail is white with the under half black. =O

From an unwanted (accidental ) pairing

pretty little patternless stripe hatchling. but I don't understand how people are getting accidental pairings or unexpected hatchlings . if ya put a adult male and female together for even a minute you are going to get fertile eggs then you have to incubate them. so whats the accident.

thank you all for your nice comments

@spykerherps:
I know what you mean but in this case the accident was that i had a group of juvenile TS females together, the one wich turned out to be a male was three months old and I was not aware that he is a male and ready to breed (he was under 20 gramms). When I saw that the female was starting to dig I realised what happened and seperated them immediately. Fortunately the female is doing well - but now I learned and will have a closer look in future. I am really not proud of this accident, believe me.
On the other hand I have an adult male who is together with adult females for three months now - still no mating or eggs. So I wish it would be always that easy.

Update

One Week later this little guy (hopefully girl so I can keep her) shows an intense orange

in comparison to a little aberrant from different parents

Andea! That is incredible!! What a lovely surprise to an unfortunate situation! Sometimes nature knows best! Some of us try so hard to get something like that, and genetics are not as predictable as we would like! Kudos to you!

Dude! That is so awesome. I love it.

 

[BioWorkZ]

Wow, that baby looks awesome. Loving the stripe on the tail.

 

[LadyxMJ]

There are NO accidents =)


Love the gecko! I'm awaiting for my tangerine tomorrow, and it too will breed with a Tremper albino....Hope I'm as lucky as u :Cross my fingers:!

Thank you all !
I really regret that i sold the male already (it was an offspring I produced last year) but he did not look like a keeper. If I would have seen the three hatchlings I got so far (4 more eggs are in the incubator) before I sold him I would have definetly kept him.
