The little guy on the right seems to be missing all of his yellow...

...even the color in his eyes is lacking

here is a normal hatchling for comparison

whats up with that?!

 

[geckomaster]

You lucky devil!!!! It looks like you may have the first banded morph (that I've heard of anyhow). Could it be leucistic? You, oh I don't know, wouldn't be interested in parting with it, now would you? :twisted:

just kidding

Congrats, keep us posted on how it turns out. Good job and well deserved.

Thanks!

I am not really sure what it is. Could just develop later (although I hope not). :wink: I think with leucistic, there can't be any dark coloration, and mine still has the bands, just not as dark as the other ones. Maybe axanthic? The little guy is CH so I have no clue what the father looks like, but the mother is normal. :mrgreen:

id say if he is anything, it wouldnt be a lucy, but maybe an anery or axanthic. Your going to have to breed him out and see if he proves.

 

[geckomaster]

Yeah, you're right about the banding, leucistic is probably incorrect, but it's the eyes that don't necessarily fit with the other recessives either. The body colors may change, but my bet's the eyes stay black. May be a combo of genes like the eclipse and or snow/super snow co-dominant traits in leopards. Maybe this is a Dominant we're looking at. Either way recessive or co-dom it's very exciting, and if you do breed them out I'd like dibs on the first you offer up for sale please

Thanks,

Mark

 

[vn_m_us]

i'd call that axanthic. :shock:

 

[G&MGeckos]

It's eyes remind me of what is being called "snake eyes" in leopard geckos. Pretty cool what ever it turns out to be.

 

[GoldenGateGeckos]

Hypo-xanthic? It will be interesting to see if color develops as it grows!

 

[Coleonyx]

Thanks all for the suggestions. I will be holding on to this one. :wink:

 

[josh]

I call it BAD*SS!!!!

 

[miss libby]

What does CH mean? And did you hatch that out yourself? That is so
cool a pink bandedgecko with black eyes.

 

[Griesi]

Are there any new pics of this nice guy, btw?
I´m suer that I`m not the only one who is interested how this one will develop!

 

[geckomaster]

I purchased the guy back a couple of months ago. Unfortuneatly he did not survive. This was in no part the fault of the original owner, nor have I ever had any problems with any of my Coleonyx, but fear he (along with a couple others) were so small that the shipping may have unduly stressed them. Needless to say I was just sick over it, not only to lose an animal, but one so unique truly sucked! Hopefully another one will show up again here in the near future. Sorry for the bad news.
