Hi, wondering if there is anyone working with blue bloods?...I'm fascinated by the color and the genetics behind them....I have a blue(teal) headed young one and would like to work with the blue bloods.....if there is anyone who either works with them or knows about their genetics, lets talk!......thanks!.........Chris

... what do you want to talk about genetics? It's a simple mutation, a "mistake" in the the colour allele (or do you ask for the code of this allele with GCAT?). I do know people who keep them, but am not interested in keeping them myself. There is a huge breeder in the US who sells almost all the morphs of P. grandis, you find him easily over google.

... anyway I pitty that this trend has also started with Phelsuma. These animals can never be useful again, if once there should be a project to bring some back to the wild, if they died out. Even if this is not a real problem with P. grandis.

If there were a project to reintroduce this species to the wild, I would hope that they would have the sense to use non morphed genetics. But that doesn't have anything to do with some people wanting to keep or work with various mutations. I'm not big on mutations either, but they've always been a part of herp keeping and it's not going away any time in the near future.

If you look closely behind his ear to his arm you'll see blue scales among the normal ones...that's how they start to get their blue.....11713637_731006720360814_916482795_n.jpg
