Very nice, that female is one of the only i have ever seen, nice to see what my offspring could look like, i have some eggs from this pairing

a scene strait out of the wild: a crested x chahoua mating with a crested on top of egg crates.

I really love when people try to keep their set ups as natural as possible. It really helps the animals feel more comfortable, ya know?

lol.....funny you bring up the word "natural"....it happens in the wild with meny different things, like in "Extensive Natural Hybridization Between Two
Geckos, Gekko tawaensis and Gekko japonicus", its proven....

I was mainly referring to the use of egg crate and not so much the forced hybridization of two species not even in the same Genus

forced? just as much as any captive breeding projects...anyway....back to the topic.....

its nice to see other responsable hybrid breeders.....what did the other baby look like?

As you know by now, the breeder told you in that other thread that the crestie is not a hybrid. Also, the breeder didn't claim it to be albino (amel), it was brought up by other posters.

If you compare the two geckos, you'll see there is absolutely no resemblance what-so-ever, not even close.

The topic of hybrids is always touchy. I have been flamed for letting my 1 male endlers breed with a female yellow cobra guppy. Well I enjoy my mutant guppies and so does the knife fish

didnt hatch out yet just the one so far. 3 more eggs so we will see.

At the end of the day its all Ornamental geckos. When you deal with breeding anything in captivity, because its not natural selection its human selection. Even when you are breeding for the wild or natural look.

And as far as forced i didnt see the little gecko tied down. looks like they were both letting it happen to me. hahahah alittle intergenus hybridation love for you

just my oppinion.

just our of curiosity... why didnt you use a female crested and a male chahoua? i heard there were problems with hybrid eggs being laid by female chahoua due to the calcuim or whatever.
