that every single thing you see or someone see's that is say normal or whatever is a NEW MORPH. i mean whats the deal with the eyes? whats up with all the eye crap? want to see some real weird eyes? i can show you some :yes: i got some doozies right here in my head

hell some of those weird looking eyes are just crosseyeds, i can be a eclipse if i smoke enough and drink enough, snake eyed too and hell i can be pie eyed as well, something they cant :p
(now i must admit those red eyed enigmas are amazing).
its like the next thing will be pink toes morph or ring around the butthole morph.

really people most of the markings you are seeing are markings indicative of that morph NOTHING MORE.

who gives a rats tookus if your gecko has a spot outa place or has crossed eyes (unless you want your own line of cross eyed geckos)
everyone wants the next big morph and make $$$$ well too bad chances are you aint got jack. so quit making a big deal outa all this "oh its got a spot here" "oh it has funny eyes" "eh its darker" "i think there might be a slight blue or purple color you guys cant see in the photo"

so why is it you can not appreciate what you have? and quit trying to make your animals out to be something they are not

(honestly if you do the research you can find the info on why some of these things happen in the first place OTHER than it being a NEW GENETIC morph)

Well I still learn something new everyday it seems about genetics, I bought a book about them and am going to start reading it this weekend. So I can't really get into the genetic debates yall have here (YET) muhaha.

So I can't say I am one of those that is looking to create a new morph, or any of that I don't really care about it either. I mean I LOVE the enigma's of course they are friggin awesome! I would drop $1700 on one of them before I layed any money to certain "others" LOL. ;)

My favorite morph is a good ol normal and that's the truth, I mean look at this buggers! To me they are awesome in their own right.

Well can you blame people for getting excited about something they haven't seen? Especially when they are new to breeding? Everyone is looking for something new to bring to the market. What if the first person to see orange on the tail of their gecko decided that it was a fluke and decided not to work on it we wouldnt have carrot tails ect. Thats the only way we get linebred morphs. Thats my take on it.

i love normals too. the gecko you have photo a photo of while right now is a normal many years ago that was a high yellow or even the beginnings of tangerine. how times have changed :)

i just love spots and bold patterns :)

"ring around the butthole"

but the thing is if people look back to the beginnings of a certain morph they will see some of the traits they "think" are odd but arent. if you are going to breed, at least do background research on the animals you are breeding. it can clear up any confusion you might have and then when someone DOES have a truly unique gecko it will be much easier to recognize instead of pulling info out of the booty

I couldn't agree more with "if you are going to breed, at least do background reasearch on the animals your are breeding". I wish that was stressed more.

Hahahah not quite, but she is a sweetheart, my first hatchling ever and even though I may get a good price from some religious fanatic I wouldn't sell her. Jesus did fade away, I'm still waiting for the second coming... (I'm sorry ;) ) But the G-O-D is still there pretty solidly.

Here is a more recent pic of G-e-O-D-e. Couldn't just name her god right :p .
