Mossy Local... (Pic Heavy)

I have a 4 year old mossy from "The Gex Files" "Hudini" pair of mossys (named as they aquired them with an unknowen local) these are now 6 years old so my male was one from the first clutch. Anyway i was hoping for a rough idea of the local if you guys can help. I know it wont be 100% but if you saw these photos without reading this what local would you think...?

You'll never know. Depending on the line which it originated, all their traits are crossed heavily. If its from Europe, your better guess is mainland, as most are mainland over there. Though, I wouldn't label them as anything but Chahoua.

i live in UK, and everyone i know who owns these from various forums etc are all Pine island mostly...

certainly looks morphologically, and is colored most closely to animals sold to me as "Mainland"

I don't know what is more common in the UK, but I do know that mainland are much more common in Europe in general, and extremely cheap. The issue with ID's is that there are so many differences and similarities between all the imported geckos.

Watch that, and you'll understand why it's nearly impossible to find out what your gecko is if you don't purchase with a known lineage. It's long though..

Also, just to compare.. This is a young Pine Island German line gecko
