Whats the worth?

[VeeDubLove]

And best possible future pairing? This one would be acquired through trade and I was curious of the worth, just because, and the best possible future pairing to see if I think its desirable or not. Thanks :]


Genetics:

This is a "Mack Snow Bell Albino w/ Tang influence"
Dam:Super Snow 100%het Bell
Sire:Tangerine Enigma 100%het Bell

Dams parents are "outsource"

Sires parents are:
Dam: SHTCT
Sire:Bell Albino Enigma

Here is the Mack Snow Bell

Thanks for any input!

That's a bell cremesicle and it's mine all mine! (I hope).
Since there aren't that many out there yet, I think $200 is a fair price.

Besides, that's my grand-gecko. See my avatar gecko? This one is its half-sib.
Tell Jessica and Jacob to get their butts on this forum.

And I believe the dam is JMG Line via member MonteQ here on the forums.

Haha awesome Yeah, the trade fell through. She told me later in our conversation that I would have to pay cash on top in order to trade my Sunglow for this little one. I'm trying to sell a gecko - not buy one. lol

Not to mention I'm kinda getting out of leos and into cresties... Sooo yeah.

 

[VeeDubLove]

I'm still curious though - what would you be breeding to this boy???

 

[lillith]

I'm doing a mack snow het bell x hypo tang het bell breeding later this summer.

I would be breeding this visual to the hets I'm creating and any visuals I might get; I have intended a bell cremesicle project for awhile. Then I can refine the "look" of the line in coming seasons to make it prettier/higher contrast. =)

Enjoy your cresties, they're getting some really nice colors in them, lately - that I've seen. I have not ever delved into their morphs, but I like the reds, the harlequins, and the pinstripe looking ones.

He is really nice won't be that easy to sell or trade that sunglow, with all thoses missing toes. Though he looks healthy like you are taking good care of him it seems the previous owner didn't. But that doesn't make him a bad pet my kids favorite gecko of mine is a mut of unknown genetics with a deformed tail.

Post pics when its about 45-50g so we can see how well it holds its tangerine color. If its a f1 Cream (or any hypo x snow combo) they tend to brown out really bad as adults. Nice looking baby though

I'm selling him for $60 so it shouldnt be very difficult. I found a buyer, just havent met up yet so I cant say I've sold him. I had 4 people inquire about him - 2 within 10mins of putting up an ad The potential buyer is one of those two.

 

[VeeDubLove]

It will be cool to see how he turns out for sure.

Yeah, there are some crazy looking cresties. I'm going for the most vivid/striking patterns and colors I can find. Along with crowns and long crest points. Even if I can only afford two for now - even just one (going upwards of $200 each definitely - otherwise they arent the quality I'm looking for) I will get it. Then more down the road. Breeding quality animals is important. I want babies I can be proud of helping create!

Thank you for the advice...if the hets "brown out" so to speak, is there a nifty trick to pick out the best ones? Or is it all trial and error? Technically the pairing I'm planning will yield visuals and 66% hets...but that won't be until later this year anyhow...

The bebe in question up top is a bell albino, though.
And the sunglow mentioned is not related to the bebe in the photo.

 

[VeeDubLove]

Enigmatic was referring to the tang in "Mack snow bell albino with tang influence" (so stated the owner) when they said tangerine color - not my sunglow.

Enigmatic was referring to the tang in "Mack snow bell albino with tang influence" (so stated the owner) when they said tangerine color - not my sunglow.

Right, I was wondering how the tang on an albino would "brown out" vs. the background color (I would expect background on an albino to "brown out", but not the tang...I would expect the tang to "brown out" on a non-albino).
That's why I asked.

Sorry for the confusion.

 

[VeeDubLove]

Oh, I just didn't get why you said my Sunglow was unrelated to the mack snow bell at the end. lol Did you get him yet? Are you going to the expo this saturday? I'm so pumped.

 

[lillith]

I delineated it because other people were commenting on the sunglow you mentioned trying to sell and I didn't want people getting confused about which gecko was being talked about.

I'll be picking him up at the expo, yes!
I'll be splitting a table with them, it's my first actual show...I am nervous. I have moved into breeding a lot more slowly than some of the other folks around here, and I'm hoping this season and next will get me more off the ground. I had a few setbacks along the way, but that's all kinds of personal no one wants to hear. ;}

Stop by and say hi!
