Update on Black Pearl

[sam12345]

So as we expected, we've noticed a big increase in the melanin exhibited.
And have got round to a photo shoot.

We still think there is a little way to go, but at the moment we're pretty happy with the progress.

Nice looking...

 

[KelliH]

Nice! How old is she and how much does she weigh?

 

[sam12345]

Currently around 48 grams.
Its crazy how concentrated the black pigment is becoming in the banding, hopefully it is something that will spread further.

 

[robin]

very interesting! how old is she?

Nice! Is this the final stage for him/her, as far as the color changes that supposedly the black pearls go through until they reach their final "black" color?

...and thats 48 grams? looks like its still a juvi at about 20-30 grams in that pic... Or is it just an overall large/long gecko?

I dont think so, there are still bits in between the banding that we feel will fill in a little more.

It is quite a long gecko :main_thumbsup:

Very cool, bring on the dark leo!

I'd love to see a bright light picture, so we can see more detail.

 

[robin]

sam, may i ask you again how old is she?

 

[rawson5084]

Very pretty

 

[StatikStepz]

Sweet!

I was just thinking... i wonder what'd happen if you bred a BP (very dark in color) to something really incredibly bright...?!?! hmm...? Say a BP being bred to a Bright Line Bell or something like that? lol
