Hi
I'm new to this site and new to AFT's. We recently picked up 4 African Fat Tailed Gecko's. We got 2 female 100% het patternless females and a pair of AMEL's.
These geckos are beautiful! I have some general questions that I hope you guys won't mind answering.
1. I take it that these 2 geckos I picked up are "regular" Amel AFT's. What is the difference between the geckos with yellow, peach, and orange coloration? Are they different bloodlines, or do they come out of the eggs randomly with the different shades?
2. I know there is no "true" albino AFT as of yet. So when people call their gecko a "Tangerine Albino", is that just a more intense colored AMEL? Is the tangerine coloration just a really nice colored gecko that hatched out with more intense coloration than the rest of the clutch? Just a really nice and vibrant AMEL? Can you get a Tangerine colored Amel randomly from an AMEL pairing (like mine below), or is it specifically from a certain bloodline? I'm a bit confused on the different color shades of AMEL's, especially the Tangerines.
3. From my research, AMEL to any other morph (except white socks) is a lethal combo. So how come I see websites selling tangerine het patternless geckos?
4. Will my AMEL pair hatch good eggs? Can you breed an AMEL to an AMEL, or is it a lethal combo as well?
5. How do the genetics on the stripes work? Do the stripes pop up randomly or is it planned genetics? Is a super stripe made by breeding 2 geckos with regular stripes? Or is it just a really nice and wide stripe?
Thanks for the help and I am excited to become and active part of this community.
