Kelli that is one of the coolest geckos! What a shame it didn't make it.

 

[KelliH]

I know Paul, I almost get teary eyed just looking at those pics :-(

 

[Kotsay1414]

That geckos is unreal Kelli! I'm sorry it did not make it.

Wow, sure looks like an anerythristic. It seems that you'd get more from that same pairing but I'm sure you tried.

What an amazing gecko, Kelli!! Thanks for sharing pictures; I'm so sorry it didn't make it.

I'm really excited to see pictures of a blizzard enigma!! :main_thumbsup:

Sorry to hijack your thread Jeremy, but I might as well explain the white tongue thing. I hatched out a very special gecko once that had a white tongue. I believed it to be a true anerythristic leopard gecko. Unfortunately the gecko only lived for a couple of months. Here are some photos of it. BTW, the parents were both Electric Tang/Bell Albino crosses, so this is not a Mack Snow. It is pictured with it's clutchmate below.

drool! It looks like a Type II Anerythristic Boa Constrictor, sad to hear it did not make it

wow... thats one amazing gecko Kelli! I'm anxiously looking forward to seeing the blizzard enigma you hatched! woot!

 

[KelliH]

All of the other babies ever hatched from the same pairing are normal. :main_huh:

I did hang onto the clutchmate but I think the "anery" was just a random mutation, and I'll never produce another. :cry:

This was/is my thought as well. Sorry, yours didn't make it Kelli.

 

[eyelids]

Bummer...

 

[PacHerp]

by the way Jeremy, huge congrats on hatching this little dude...

be sure to keep us all updated.

 

[Jeremy Letkey]

I also wanted to clarify that my thoughts about it being a random genetic mutation was in reference to Kelli's animal. I'm am still uncertain about the animal that I hatched.

 

[KelliH]

Well, whatever it is, it's awesome Jeremy. I'm just real confused about the Blizzard Enigma thing... *taps foot impatiently waiting for more eggs to hatch*

 

[fallen_angel]

What a gorgeous little gecko, very amazing Jeremy!

It seems like the enigma gene reveals the underlying pattern/coloration that would exist if the blizzard trait didn't express itself. It's the first time I've actually considered buying an enigma, due to my love for blizzards.

The thing is though, that I hatched what I am 99% positive is an Enigma Blizzard and it looks just like a regular one except it has a snow white stripe on it's back, just like the Patternless Enigma does. That's why I am confused about it, it does not look like the other photos I have seen of Enigma Blizzards or Enigma Blazing Blizzards.

 

[SteveB]

Could it have been an enigma banana blizzard? Or [hypo] stripe, super snow, or other pattern influencing morph?

 

[Jeremy Letkey]

I have been waiting to post this. The hatchling was rather small and weak at first. Then several bad sheds and trouble eating. He has recently had a very good shed, without any assistance. I am going to give him a soak tonight again as there are a few stuck bits but compared to past sheds this one was great. He is eating great and pooping as expected. Soooo, now comes the fun part.

Parents are a Bell Enigma x Blizzard.
This was hatch day 04/02/08. I was confused. I thought maybe premie, color hasn't developed...

This is tonight????? Like I said, you tell me???

As an added bonus, the eyes are currently solid black. :main_thumbsup:

Updated pic... getting lots of yellow now. Also the eyes are no longer solid black but they are still no signs of a pupil. I took a few eye shots but they still look black in the pics. lol

Still no real what it really is so I'm going out on a limb with, normal Enigma, het Bell and Blizzard. lol :main_rolleyes:

 

[dprince]

Thanks for the update, Jeremy. No wonder enigmas are so fascinating to work with - ya never know, until ya know.

 

[paulnj]

For once I don't know....:main_laugh: :main_laugh:

I'm with you .. E het BBB until proven otherwise.
