Male
Default green eyed luii

I bought this female in Switzerland little time ago.

But I am not sure if she is a true luii or not. I didn't know we can find hybrids in Goniurosaurus sp. and if it would be that I don't want to breed bastard animals.


So I ask you

Here are some pictures












I've already Sune's opinion but now I like to have more !

Thanks a lot

Alex

It's probably not a hybrid. I've seen one or two have a kind of greenish tint when they were born. Also, got saw an adult that had kind of a greenish tint. Both went away with time or an increase in caratiniods (spelling?) in the diet. Notice in some of your pics it does look orange.

There's other reasons I think it's unlikely to be a hybrid though.

ok very interested.

When I bought them, it was really greenish but it is more orange as you can see on the pics.

Indeed I feed my insects with a lot of carotts so it could be the reason.
There is something strange behind this.

I will breed it with my F1 G. luii from S.J and see what will hatch.

We told me the trait "green eyed" was dominant.

I'll wait.

If other people have an opinion on it, just suggest.

Regards

Alex

I have one which from a certain angle still looks green eyed, but it's more a camera trick for me. Normally it looks orange.

I mean technically there's only one thing at them moment it could probably even produce a viable hybrid with maybe. Even that has a slightly different body plan too.
