Pic of one of my AFTs - Almost Hypo Tangerine

Rob Jenkins Aug 10, 2003 11:24 AM

Let me state up front; THESE ARE NOT HYPO TANGERINE. I don't know what to call it, but it's beautiful. Perhaps someone who has been breeding AFTs for a while knows. I've seen a picture of a Hypo and they're pretty amazing; much lighter than this one. I really like the way this little girl's bands are breaking up. She's only a few months old, so who knows how she'll turn out. Her tangerine and pattern really reminds me of the two boys I hatched out in Japan.

Hey Rob,

My little AFT holdback from last year is about that color. He is almost a year old and I am starting to see him darken up a bit. Not sure what will happen but he is a cute little bugger.

Heres a couple of my girls. These are also het for amelanistic.

Very nice. Mine are hets also. I can't wait to see their offspring. I'm feeling pretty good about my stock of amels and hets so far. I just hope the sexes work out correctly and they all grow in time to breed next year.

Are those adults? Did you breed them this year?

these are my hets. The male is on the left. He is losing all of his dark banding. Thnaks to geckomom for pic. Hope you don't mind that I used it Veronica. I haven't had a chance to take any new ones

Those are great looking fatties. I got one of Veronica's striped het amels the other day as well. She's a great lady; we got to go pick the gecko up in person and had a great time talking with her and her family.

I'll try to take a new pic tonight when I feed the geckos.

she told me that she had someone coming. That must have been you. She just scored an awesome tang amel fat tail male. She is great, but I'm jealous
