Right i am back armed with pictures. Since i last posted the second egg from the calico x calico clutch has hatched. There is a marked difference between the two hatchlings. God knows if one or indeed both are calicos. I have seen people offering "het calico" babies for sale in America for $350 (emerald exotics - Alejandro Lozano's). But for some reason i thought most morphs were co-dom. Now i also know there are multiple genes around responsible for creating calico. So wether i have indeed produced double hets or one calico and one not i am not sure. It sure is a puzzler. Assuming the parents are the same morph then whether recessive or co dom - both should be calicos, plus due to the insane variability of the calico gene, they both could be.

baby 1 from calico x calico breeding.

baby 2 from calico x calico breeding.

the one thing that i like about the patternation of baby one is the white patches on the head. Not sure whether this is normal or not as this was the first baby tokay i have ever hatched!!! lol

the thing to note about baby 2 is the fact that the mouth lacks pigment (forgot to check inside the mouth of baby 1) - baby tokays should have a black mouth. All my adult calicos lack throat pigmentation. Maybe if i check the other one and that is pink throated then possibly they both are. Just thought of that as i typed it, maybe thats the marker to look for.... who knows... learning as i go along.

the two together for comparison.

egg casing

now how the hell did that fit in there!!!!

here are some other eggs that are cooking - all the others had to get moved into the incubator.

Daddy blue granite guarding the eggs - blue granite x blue headed green

Calico x powder blue eggs

Daddy powder blue guarding the eggs - powder blue x blue/green/yellow granite.

those hatchlings are the coolest looking tokays iv seen. i especially like the pic of the one with its tail sticking up, looks like a lemur. nicely done

Are you useing the egg crate inorder to get the females too lay thier eggs on them? If so does this serve to move them to an incubetor?

we have moved them into the incubator, they also serve to catch eggs which are dislodged from the ceiling.

i invert one eggcrate beneath another so there is also a network of hides for the females to dissapear into when they have had enough of the male.

checked the inside of both geckos mouths and they are both pink so i assume that they are both calico.

regards chaz

just so you know market prices i am asking the equivilent of $675 each

You have some amazing Tokays!!!!!!!

The second to bottom is what I call Blue Granite orange spot... When they turn dark you can see all of the orange spots around their face and chin!!

That patternless thing that you call "Axanthic"...... what color is it???

i have a feeling it isnt a patternless axanthic - i was sold to me as an axanthic i think it is on its way to becoming a leucy with some uniform brown speckling down its back its weird, still hoping to get some eggs off her. Had two but she wrecked them.
