g'day all, i am amazed at all the different colour morphs you guys in he us, are breeding, they are fantastic. i have one question( how did most of them start? did you have to cross them with pilbaraensis or occidentalis, or did these stunning colour morphs just turn up over the years? mainly with the levis? there all sorts of morphs like yellows, reds, patterentless, reduced patterened, bandings, spots stripes, albinos, snows, etc. just want to know did these all turn up after years of breeding, or are they crossed to get colour? you guys must work with a few geckos to get these linages but i take my hat off to you all they are fantastic. we dont have many morphs in aus just the patterenless as far as i know. any help to answer my question would be great thanks for you time guys.

Never heard of albino or snow levis.. i have heard of albino pilbarensis but not snows for them either
In Australia we don't have many colour morphs in Nephrurus levis.... yet.
We do however have a greater amount of genetic variation present in the founding group (large numbers of wild caught animals) so it's very possible that some mutations surface soon. Patternless levis are being bred. Rumour has it we even have albino levis in Australia. If true it'll be interesting to find out if the mutation stems from illegally imported animals or has surfaced in animals in australia.

I have heard of Albino levis in the U.S. as well. I think its just a matter of time when they break it out on the public. The breeders are probably trying to get some good numbes of albinos, and hets to sell before they blow out the big word of this new levis levis 'morph'. If anyone knows more of this please don't hesitate to write it here.

Yup theres definately a breeder here who is producing Albino Levis. I dont think he is ready to release them in the US yet but there are definately coming in time. If you happen to just hop over to GeckoForums.net - Powered by vBulletin and look at the knobtail section I think you'll see who I'm talking about... I cant wait till he has some for sale!!

Those are all pics of albino pilbs. And any albino levis I would be suspect of being a hybrid. Not to say that there might not be albino levis out there. But I'd certainly want proof that it wasn't a hybrid before purchasing.
