i had ANOTHER beautiful jungle albino born today, so i figured id update my stats for those who were interested in the statistics of jungle hatchlings a few weeks back...ok i bred a jungle albino with a aberrant albino (VERY VERY close to jungle except for tail) and i got:

3 full jungles
2 aberrant
3 banded

I wonder if you have 'het' jungles. I've produced 100% jungles from my 1.2 jungle tremper albinos this year, so I believe Ron Tremper when he told me that jungle is simple recessive. Don't know if someone will argue with that, because I'm sure some people have created banded from a pair of jungles, so perhaps there are genetic jungles and not-so-genetic jungles? Dunno.

Here's what I found in my incubator right after reading your post; I was wondering if the eggs that are stuck together would have trouble or not; guess not -

And, here's an updated pic of my reverse stripe (tangerine?) albino. She's got a spot on her head healing from a bite her clutchmate gave her while feeding a couple weeks ago. I separated everyone right after that happened.

that is a BEAUTIFUL tang reverse stripe, I just bought a 1.2 reverse trip trio from AM gecko recently, I can't wait to see what they produce...and that gecko up top is cool looking, looks like its half yellow, half pink

Thanks. I remember those reverse stripes you bought; I wanted to purchase them so much, but already have too many geckos and not enough $

The one up top is hours old right now and I've found that they all pretty much have that pink/yellow color when they're hatched, but most are turning the color of the reverse stripe as they mature.

now that i have so many beautiful stripes/jungles being born i want to drop like $500 on a RIDICULOUSLY tang albino, like one of the ones from AM or tremper and start breeding that tang color into the stripe line...because you don't see many albino stripes to begin with, but screamer stripes you almost never see

I bred my Tremper jungle albino to my females last year and this year.
Last year he was bred to 3 females. One of them was an abberant.
He had 2 abberant babies from the abberant mother, but the rest(5 others) were normal banded.
This year he was bred to one female and none of the babies were banded.

I think Tremper's jungle is a full recessive also, but it still makes me wonder about the abberant. They seem more like a line bred trait.
That and people crossing abberants into the jungle lines allowing the parents to produce abberant offspring as well. Gives you something to think about.
