What makes it a R.A.P.T.O.R?

[mikjegger]

Some one wants to sell me this raptor? (see pic) But i'm not sure if it really is a raptor.

i know raptor stands for Ruby-eye, Albino, Patternless, Tremper, ORange.
The person who's selling, tells me it has red eyes, but i'm missing the
patternless and orange, right? :main_robin:
So, what morph is it then? And what's an albino if it only has red eyes?

 

[mainelygeckos]

Tremper albino? I see no patternless so no I don't believe it's a raptor unless there are banded rapters. Maybe someone else knows more. Pretty tho

 

[chazthaking2]

There is a such thing as banded raptors. just make sure that gecko does have ruby eyes

 

[CHAMpion]

Yes if it has ruby eyes then its a banded raptor

 

[matt1134]

could he have meant het for raptor

 

[matt1134]

i had a couple trempers hatch out this seson with red eyes and looked almost identical.

 

[ang3l3s]

If that gecko had red eyes i would buy it, it's pretty....looks like a banded to me but i only have patternless!!

 

[Sunrise Reptile]

It could be what's called a "Banded RAPTOr". You need to get a clear picture of the eyes to make absolutely sure. If they're red, it's a RAPTOr. :main_yes:

 

[Wandering Paddle]

ruby eyed tremper albinos are raptors. the patternless aspect or raptors are from stripes, not the murphy patternless gene.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE CLEAR ABOUT PATTERNLESS STRIPE AND MURPHYS PATTERNLESS. too many people dont understand and its paramount that we make sure people know the difference.

 

[geckofreak24]

it seems to have more orange then most trempers, so it may be a R.A.P.T.O.R
non the less it is a beautiful gecko

 

[geckofreak24]

here is a picture of a banded R.A.P.T.O.R although its from a different angle it looks almost identicle to the one you have pictured, so if it has red eyes then i would buy it

 

[herpman97]

It might be a Banded RAPTOR, but I myself dont think it is a fair morph. They should Call it a RABTOR, Banded it not Patternless, is it?

 

[BrilliantEraser]

Yes, but saying RABTOR makes it sound like you have a bad head cold!

we all know it doesnt have to have red eyes to be called a raptor.I debated this point and was told by people it also could have snake eyes etc...Apparently I was told there are variations of a raptor which I disagreed with.My opinion is if it doesnt have two red eyes and it has a pattern then in my opinon its not a raptor.Lets change the acronym for Raptor then,because there are animals out there that dont fit the acronym and people still call them Raptors

But Snake Eyed RAPTORs and Ruby Eyed RAPTORS are genetically identical, so what justifies calling them different morphs?
