Black leopard gecko baby

[Sarah-Jayne]

It can't be a patternless, completely the wrong pattern for a hatchling patternless

It is just weird that it's not changing colour yet! guess only time will tell, I am hoping it stays black

If it stays black the parents are staying :P

It's not likly the parent played any part in the color tone.It's beleaved to be incubation temperture like with (Dark)Talbinos.And blizzards and patternless seem to have a degree of control over color tone regarding mood(Stress) and Temperture.Like the (Dark)Talbino there's nothing genetic to pass on.But by all means test him/her out as it maybe a new genetic trait that "LOOKS" (Dark)Blizzard but is not ? and is somthing more ?.Do any of the non blizzard offspring appear dark ?.

I beleave you have a (Dark)Blizzad also whats known in trade name terms as a Midnight blizzard.Your ofcourse free to use what ever term you like.

(Dark)Blizzard.


Blizzard and (Dark)Blizzard.

They are incubated at 28C, not low temps

The other offspring apart from this particular one are very brightly colored :s

28C is around 82F so that's 50/50 land redarding offsring sex and Talbino (Dark)Talbino/Blizzard and (Light)Talbino/Blizzard.80F is for 100%Female and (Dark)Talbino/Blizzard.90F is for 100%Male and (Light)Talbino/Blizzard.Inbetween them tempertures that's the land of 50/50 redarding both sex and color tone of offspring.That's how you can get both (Dark)male and female and (Light)male and female.

Very pretty, has a similar colouring to my patternless mack snow Noir

[messengermatt]

If the female isnt het patternless then it isnt a patternless, also if the female and male arent het for blizzard then something else has cropped up - were going to see how it goes for the next few months.

If there are no color changes etc then it's going to be an oddity, although i can breed back next year and see what the outcome is ?

stunning whatever (s)he is x

[messengermatt]

Hmmm makes me wonder really, it could be a blizzard and it may not be although i am guessing that its possible that the parents are both het blizzard ?

I know i discussed this before with gaz in depth about the possibilites of the murpheys and the enigma being het blizzard so looks like a possibility.

Forgive me for being dumb but what are the other possibilites of this baby, i mean like are there any others born with this coloration?
