No, and considering his track record for honesty, I would hesitate to take his word for it.

Wow impressive buggers,congrats & thanks for sharing. if it is genetic this will be epic!

Are all the specimens in the pics from the same clutch? Got pics of the parents?

Gatorhunter1231 · 01-07-13, 11:35 AM

I can tell you FR didn't bring many. What I'm getting at is most ackies are very tight in bloodlines outside of European and Canadian bloodlines that rarely come in. Same clutch and only clutch from my new male. A second clutch from this male could help me identify reasoning. If a second clutch has stripped odd balls then I will have a good feeling on if this will be genetic. Also be intresting to see how pattern developes as they age. If it was temps then someone would have stumbled across this before. Right now I have 2 ackies unlike it others. Everything else right now is just theory.

I don't want to derail your thread too bad, but any clue how Frank pulled it off?

I know he had Lacies & Perentie too, I am very curious how he came to get them here, and did he get them in Oz or did he stop over in the Philippines or whatever????

I really hope their pattern doesn't break up as leopard gecko stripes do. These are so cool! (I know I've said that before, but they really are neat!)

@wayne. Something you should ask FR or someone more in tune with that. I have never asked FR myself and my opinion would be void.
@barely. Time will tell. They are eating well and growing like weeds.

the designer monitors begin. TOP class

Please keep this thread updated.

Ah, Gregg might be onto something. I didn't think about the possibility of a polygenic morph... And I agree, sign me up for some striped Ackies!

AjaMichelle · 01-08-13, 01:27 AM

How exciting! Congratulations!

I have been thinking on this and I did think of one possibility for it to be a new, random mutation. It would be unlikely for the same mutation to occur in two separate haploid cells... But say the mutation occurred in a diploid cell, which then underwent meiosis... Then you have multiple mutated gametes..

^^^^^ from my few classes that dabbled in genetics this sounds plausible. Way to think outside the box Pirarucu.

Please let me know if you are selling the non-striped ones.

Gatorhunter1231 · 01-11-13, 05:35 AM

I will probably hold on to them this time just in case the strip is genetic and has the ability to pass on through "normals" which would end being hets if carrying the gene. I have some older ones close to breeding age I may sell for more room.
