White Nose Not Always Sign of Eclipse Gene

[eyelids]

Thought this pic showed Mr. Moon's nose off nicely... Not the whitest of noses, but you get the idea... Oddly enough a few of his siblings hatched with solid eyes of which one kept 'snake eyes' into adulthood... Believed to be the result of 'leaky' genes between random solid eye gene in Blizzard mom and solid eye gene from the super form of dad [dad was MS het Bell]... :main_huh: Parents were not het Eclipse no chance no way no how...

Body shot after mating...

So anybody have other examples of white nosed non Eclipse geckos?

There are A LOT of genes lingering in geckos from crosses people fail to mention possibilities of hets. I had a lot of "pure" eclipses prove to be het Trempers and animals coming from trempers proving to be het eclipse. That being said, you would be lucky to have a blizzard het eclipse (and not tremper) and not know it. It may be possible you are on something new or unique...but ANY eye trait (in my opinion) needs to be bred to Eclipse to rule it out. Perfect example is the Abyssinian. Hopefully you can prove something unique and reproduce it.

I forgot to mention his parents are '05 hatches... He hatched out 6/10/2006... Mom is the original Funky Jungle gene carrier btw... His sibs were the first FJs I hatched... Add the yet to be understood paradox spots of some Blizzards and you have the reason I bred him to my W&Y Bell ph Eclipse...

Sounds like fun to me. Good luck with that project

Haha! For sure! The FJ W&Y Radar just hatched and although I know there'll be lots of variation with the combo like any FJ combo it is really something!

He got pics up today! You can see them here in the 'Pink Mist 2012' album... Going to be pretty cool I think...
