Which "subspecies" of variegatus ?

[Sebastian]

Hi folks,

what´s your opinion on the following pair of C.variegatus ? Variegatus ? Bogerti ?

Thanks for any help

I don't know whether it's really possible to tell by looking at a photo. I may be wrong, but I believe that there are scale counts that could confirm which one. I have bred C.v.v. to C.v.b. and labelled them as C.v. I did that because the male C.v.v. I was breeding came from a locale where the geckos are white and beige instead of yellow and beige and I figured if C.v.v. specimens could look that different from each other, it wasn't a great tragedy to go through with my planned pairing.

Seems like i have to count scales
In the book "Eyelash geckos" are some descriptions too.
Probably it´s not a bad thing to breed bogerti with variegatus but anyway I´d like to keep them separated.

I don't know what they are, just that they are sure beautiful!

they look like varagatusintegrades to me personly. they have a varagatus look to them the only way to tell is a pore count (not scale) bogeti will have 8+ and varagatus will have less. unfortuantly people do breed them together a lot and makes mutts. congrats on the pick up.

It would help to know where they're from as Banded Geckos are found over a wide range in several western states.
