Nice Doc, very good information.
So, it seems that a super W&Y is a homozygous form, of a dominant mutation, that has a particular phenotype. Does the super form always gives a coloration more homogeneous?
In the W&Y line, in any particular mating that you may do, and besides the super case, do all the hatchings of a cross belong to a particular W&Y phenotype? Or do you get a mixture?
If I understood correctly (and comparing to the tangerine-super hypo tangerine example), you get a mixture of phenotypes.
From the examples you gave, it seems that the eyes are always the same and that they seem "normal". Is that right?
Thanks.

Lots of Super W&Y have big spots of normal pattern (piebald). It
is a characteric trait of the majority of W&Y.
It is also correct that the purity of line we need to check by
crossing. Lots of really beutiful phenotypicly geckos can make
different children after crossing.
Now we have a really big group of W&Y(different types). They all
have defenite traits that differ them from other leopard geckoes.
I can't discribe it, but it's seen when you see them.
I think people who has W&Y will agree with me. There are also
interesting crooses of W&Y with other morphs, I'll ask my friends
to show the photoes of them.
The eyes of W&Y geckoes are lightier than normal geckoes eyes, but
it's not so noticeable as in case of Red eyed enigma.

I think you have a very informative document there, and that you have some gorgeous geckos pictured there. Good Luck with your breeding program and continued success with this line.
Great work Stazar.
It would be really nice to see some crosses with other morphs.
I have bought a Calico het Tremper Sunglow male from Konrad (that I think is the same mutation):
I will try to cross this male with several females from different morphs, I will post my results if I'm successful.
Keep us posted on your results. Fascinating leos you have there.

W/Y seems to be a very interesting morph.
You have probably heard of our strange experience...
We have a male W/Y produced by you, he is about 5-6 years by know.
Last year he was breed to a "normal" female and out of one of the eggs came a little black gecko with solid black eyes.
He changed very much as he was growing ( you can see it on the pictures ).
I know that one more breeder in Europe have hatched babies like this from W/Y x SH (?).
It seems like they comes randomly...most of the babies is W/Y and normals and once in a while a little black one sees the light.
This is the W/Y male...
The baby right after he hatched...
and today...
Have you hatched any babies like this in your groups of W/Y´s?

Yes, I understand it. I'm happy to have one, nonetheless. ;-)
