Here is the all black eye girl that laid the babies.. have you ever seen such a dark gecko in general? She is covered in spots, and she isnt yellow, shes brown. I hope her babies come out with all black eyes and hypo like the father!

here is the normal eyed male she bred with

2.8 Leopard Geckos
0.1 Pictus Gecko
0.1 Mali Uromastix

Well i think that its dark because of the temp incubated at. I dont know if this is true but i also think temp affects the black eyed geckos. For instance, the midnight blizzards were created through low incubation temps, and alot of them have dark eyes. Definately keep us posted on how it goes, not too much is known about it. I recommend breeding the baby back to the mom, incase it is a recessiev and the babies are all het for black eye.

This is not to sound rude at all but I think everyone explains everything away anymore to the incubation temp idea. Yes I do believe it can play a part but I also dabble in midnights on the side and most of my males that I incubated at higher temp 88 are much darker than my females. So how does it explain that.

Well with midnights theyre somewhat linebred. When the first abbeis were made, they probabyl werent snake eye. People probably locked it as a male at 2 weeks old then lowered the teomp. Then a lot of midnights got the black eye trait and their male babies got it, regardless on incubatio ntemp

Well.. I dont know if I am going to have any males seeing as how I am incubating at 82 degrees. So I wont be able to breed them back to her. I was never planning on breeding her in the first place.

>>Very nice best thing i think you can do with her is get your self a standed type albino male weather it be (tremper,bell,rainwater) breed them to gether.Now if that black eye gene works the same way as ron tremper eclipse,raptor,ect gene being (ressive)the babys from your (albino x black eyed normal) will be normals double het for albino and black eye.so the albino verion would have pure red eyes with any luck.

i think it would be worth trying anyway.
