this is some of my pictus collection. These little guys have grabbed my attention and captivated me. They are always full of spunk and spudder, and love a good cricket battle royal!
Adult red male

My Holdback snow female from this past year

the begaining of a line bred BOLD project

Good ol xanthic

Partial Tri-stripe..

young red male

Red hatchling

This next gecko I HOPE to be a Axanthic. I will be working on proving this out this coming year. It hatched from my red group, white and black, No red or yellow not even in the eyes.

eye pics for reference

Pics of my original snows can be found here.
P.Picta snows?

That xanthic picta is a great example of how nice that morph can be. The "young red male" is also very nice.

Wow that one is amazing how long have you had it and is the color fading as it gets older?

Hello, I am very new to all this to bear with me. I am a graduate student working with various geckos and one project involves Pictus color morphs. If any one can send me any information on morphs that they have observed/bred and the possible genetic/breeding patterns observed I would be very grateful. We have never heard of the "snow" morph but upon looking at our collection in the lab it appears that we may have one. I thank you all for your time in responding.

Very rare "rainbow" morph picta:

The snow genetics are still being figured out. But as of the date 100% of the offspring from my group have been noticeably lighter with no "normal" colored babies. A few of them are extremely light as well.
