W&Y youngster

[pbgeckos]

Just thought I'd throw a couple pics out of what I'm seeing with the W&Y project so far. Here's a couple that hatched out 2 months ago from the same clutch. It looks to me like one has a much higher side and somewhat faded lines which are what seems to be obvious markers. The clutch mate, although a BEAUTIFUL gecko does not have the high white sides and expresses a much more "high contrast" look to her, but I'm thinking she's not expressing the W&Y trait. Here's a couple pics for you all to judge on your own. Opinions are very welcome. The pic with them both together isn't the best pic ever, but I wanted to get one with "natural" sunlight to show that I'm not "enhancing" the heck out of the pics. Disregard the hairy arms

Thank you all By looking around, it seems like everyone is having pretty exciting results from the W&Ys.

Those turned out awesome. What was the pairing? W&y to w&y or a cross?

both are looking awesome only time will tell but they are looking w&y to me the eye liner and the nape band . and am no expert on the morph as i only have one but w&y x w&y can still put out w&y with different patterning to the parents and each other, you have any hatchling pictures of them?

Those two came from a cross of W&Y het Tremper X RAPTOR. The male I chose was a W&Y from Matt Baronak with some unique shades of yellows and bright whites instead of one that had been "tangerined out". I wanted to get one as close looking to how the original W&Ys looked as possible. I'm loving the contrasts that the pairing is giving me

I agree that they are both showing certain W&Y qualities, but I wouldn't be comfortable labeling them both W&Ys at this point. It's pretty obvious that the lower contrast one is, but not 100% on the other. There's a hatchling pic of the one I'm questioning in this thread; http://geckoforums.net/showthread.php?t=88651

I agree with wanting one that looks like the originals. Tangerine looks cool, but I'm going for original as well. Will you be breeding these back to the w&y parent? They could produce amazing offspring.

I have a couple options on the table. There's actually a sale pending on one of the above. I had planned on holding them both back, but the sale would definitely help kickstart another more exciting project . I'd be lying if I said that it was an easy decision though...sacrifices for the greater good...I'm pretty confident I can create more like these, we'll see how they grow out as to how many I keep
