Just a big gravel pit we park at and people dump there junk, but gives some cover for the critters! Used to take old newspapers and lay them out when i was a kid, next day salamanders everywhere!

Went riding with the kids today. Usually 50% of the time is spent hunting for snakes or amphibians... Found awesome little baby long toes under an old speaker box, along with tons of toads from 1" to 4". And some salamanders in the pond that are way behind-don't think they will hit land this...

Once their out of the ponds, i used to catch dozens under newspaper/cardboard in ditches, beside mailboxes, even found some in the storm drains on my grandpa's street in the center of town. when I was a kid in Houston(B.C.) we found 3 in an old well swimming around in February! probably 3' of...

here's a fresh pic, 11 days since hatchling pic. anybody have any ideas or seen this type of colouring/pattern?? thanks. dean

I have one juvenile that refuses to go into a moist hide, period. if the hide dries enough, she will. Anyways, a couple of times she has had shedding issues when i was out of town a few days. her underside would look very similar, and not readily appear to be un-shed. If I isolated her in a high...

Overall, they are all distinct in some particular way, which is the great thing about all the morphs. patties are one of my favourite cause i get consistent but improved coulouring each season, but also get some that come out of left field-keeps it interesting... dean

i am definitely going to hang on to her and see what develops...i will send in pics at 4-6 weeks, whenever something interesting develops with her. 8 more eggs to go, chance for another i guess! thanx dean

no, all have been the standard random pattys, or mack cross with the paler background. none with any symmetry to the markings. it might be hard to see, but it follows through the tail, and the purple/grayish is also odd, any past dark ones were brownish with fairly bright yellow straight away. dean

Had this girl hatch yesterday. i have alot of patternless babies, but never one this colour and with "patternless" blotches aligned "similar" to a stripe, extending down the tail too? all have been patty yellows of some degree or bright albinos, but blotching is always random.... any ideas would...

thanx!

Just a few shots, ms is 2 hrs old, others range to 2 weeks. i have gotten several ms/patternless, but finally a snow! ms seems pretty regular in the site, but i never got one till now. dean

I have a very small breeding program going(50-70geckos/yr) I sell 95% of my stock to pet stores. They give great care to them, or I wouldn't have approached them(have seen some that are pathetic). Some areas, like mine just don't have the demographics to support selling privately, and winters...

That's why I come to you guys!!! Sorry, i was worried I was wording this incorrectly. The "influenced" term helps, I assumed you get a normal or a hypo, visually. Have 4 more like her this week, thanks very much for the info and correction in terms. dean

sorry! father bred back to her, rw patternless, het albino. he has produced 30 or so rwp & rwpa with 2 rwpa i have, nothing odd in any of those pairings....

can anyone help id this little girl?(pic #2) the grey/lavender/yellow is not adding up for me. is it just a high yellow or what? mother is product of shtctb and rw patty het albino, she has the appearance of tangerine with red and green hues(last pic) any ideas? 1st pic is her sister..... dean
