Ok I find this rather odd. Never really thought about it before until now, but these two are siblings. Both incubated at the same temps and both kept at the same temps in their tanks. The Male is the pinker one and the Female is the darker one. All the other siblings are dark too, just not as dark as her. I hope this changes views a little on coloring by temps and keeping color by keeping the home warm.


Here's another pic which is another thing I'd like to point out he has red-pink eyes, and she doesn't yet another odd thing lol He was the only one out of all the babies to have red-pink eyes

Here are their parents

POPS aka Celestin


Mom aka Kiyone

Let me know what you all think, who knows this could have just been something out of the blue... hehe

I have a theory on the TCD thing, that has no real evidence other then how it's worked out in my mind. Here's my "theory"-

the Tremper albinos incubated with TCD are born with out the "melan" because they had sufficiant heat. when they are kept with out the 90 hot spot, they produce "melan" so that they can get more out of what heat they have, and regulate their body temps better. so in other words, i think that they darken up to warm up. much like how on a hot day, wearing black isn't the best idea. how i see your geckos, is the males body never had to "protect" it's self from the cold, and the female did. why, if they were incubated at the same temps? i don't know, but no one can know, because we weren't the gecko fetus in the egg. this theory makes sense to me, and will until someone explains to me a better reason for t albinos to darken up.

Well sit right down my wicked son
And let me tell you a story
About the boy who fell from glory
And how he was a wicked son

This ain't no holiday
But it always turns out this way
Here I am with my hand

He took his sister from his head
And then painted her on the sheets
And then rolled her up in grass and trees
And they kissed 'till they were dead

This ain't no holiday
But it always turns out this way
Here I am, with my hand

Well sit right down my evil son
And let me tell you a story
About the boy who fell from glory
And how he was a wicked son

This ain't no holiday
But it always turns out this way
Here I am, with my hand

This ain't no holiday
But it always turns out this way
Here I am, with my hand

Ah Megami-sama and Tenchi Muyo?

It's a very interesting family. I have a few of the dark Trempers too. and I have 2 that hatched out from the same father, but are pink and yellow as opposed to my brown and yellow of last years.
