Strophurus ciliaris aberrans : strange color

[Nicolas]

Do not want to open a Koï-geckos debate with Strophurus but anyway I have a strange 4 monthes old female ciliaris aberrans.
She is from the Kimberleys yellow form and stays always very very pale, in fact quite white.
It is not a light exposure variation, day and night she's pale according to the other babies and comparison let no doubt.
I put some picts to show you the difference.

Did somebody observe the same variation ?

others picts could help..

on my previous post you can see the difference with a same age gecko from the same clutch !!!

very special animal indeed . The animal still has some black dots so it does not lack all pigment but it sure has been reduced .

Quit playing with photoshop LOL

Very Nice animal though, certainly something very different than the normal!

I have had aberrans where they can be a lot more pale at times than others but never stay like that so it's definitely interesting to see a specimen that stays like that.

yes indeed, some of mine are very pale either during the night or when the temp is higher, but they always become darker with a well defined pattern during the da or by cooler temp. This female stays pale ... anyway just a short communication I would consider as interesting.

Nicolas,

I think I see the issue here. You have far too many. Please send some to me and I am sure your pale animal will be back to normal shortly. :biggrin:

I like the pics where the others are all grouped together. Its like they're being discriminatory. "You can't play in our gecko games"
