The "holiday babies" I posted about a few weeks ago (Holiday Babies) are now nearly 2 weeks old. Out of 9 babies hatched from the same pair since mid-summer, the darker one in the picture looked different from all of them. Nearly 3 weeks later, his bands are almost completely faded:



Too bad for me it's a male. Now I have to either part with him or start another group.

coleonyx variegatus?

Yes. Product of C.v.b. and C.v.v.

Wow, amazing! Hopefully, I will have the same result from my pair. Do you have any other from that same clutch?

During the summer of 2011 I hatched 5 babies from this pair and so far since Dec. I have hatched 6 with another 6 eggs in the incubator and probably more eggs in the gecko. The father is white instead of yellow (if you search the Coleonyx forum you can probably find my other post) and that seems to dominate. Most of the babies are ending up white and pale beige, though none of the others looks like the one in this post. He is now developing tiny, very pale beige speckles and has ghost-like coloring throughout. Eventually I'll take a picture of all this year's babies and post it, but not tonight.

Is that the same pair that hatched the male that I got from you? I am definitely interested in getting another female from you, if possible. =] My male has grown quite a bit. No obvious signs of mating yet, with my pair. Hoping that changes soon!

If you got them from me last summer, then yes. I can keep you posted about another female. At the moment 4 of my 6 are sexable and 3 of them are male. I have a few people on a "waiting list" but I should be able to accommodate everyone, as long as I hatch a few more females. I'll keep you posted.
