Nice shot and cool side by side. So are you working to establish (sp?) all three color phases?[/list]

 

[Coleonyx]

yep. i have 1 melanistic, 2 red, and 9 normal C. mitratus.
I am working on getting them established, but first they have to reach maturity!

I hope that the traits are genetic.

Thanks for the comments. I have also noticed that are more color morphs appearing this month on the web. I have seen SelectGex's white banded gecko, lvbandeds' desert banded that lacks most pigment, and oscar's hypomelanistic desert banded. I have heard of someone who is working on a striped Coleonyx mitratus as well. I have also seen the white coleonyx elegans, but sadly it is in europe. For some reason europe has more C. elegans, even though we are WAY closer to their native habitat. lol

I have notice the same thing about Coleonyx elegans. They are high on my want list. I think its pretty cool to see all of the different colors coming out in all of the banded geckos maybe some cool morphs on the way.

if only someone would find an albino c. switaki. i read through all the rules and stuff and it says that albinos are not protected. same with reticulatus. lol
