Update on reverse stripe albinos... temperature debate?

Here is a pretty interesting shot of the little reverse stripe Tremper albinos that hatched last week, and a sister that hatched last night. These babies are from the exact same parents, the only difference was that the males were incubated at 88-89 degrees and the little female was incubated at 81-82 degrees. Makes for an interesting argument for using the fasmous (or should I say infamous) Tremper incubation method, huh? Think I could sell the female as a "Chocolate Reverse Albino"? LOL!!!

Hi Marcia
I am running a little experiment myself about this incubation method to prove that, yes higher temperature effects the color on newborn leos but if you breed 2 great bloodline geckos the females hatched at 82* and brownish will improve with the aging just like a tangerine.
I will take several threads to show at what point of my research I am to put up PICS of different geckos that I am growing now. Please wait a few minutes before you reply to this because I need a few threads to show what I am doing.
This first PIC is a brown female that I bred with a tangerine male.

This is the same baby after 1 month. You can see it is starting to look lighter now.

This is a baby female hatched at 82* from 2 of my best tangerines, Phoenix and Aphrodite. Look at how brown she looks.

This is a male hatched at 88* from the other egg of the same clutch. Much better looking baby then her sister there.

This is the same male at 1 month old. It looks like the female is going to be much better looking then the male. I used an easy recognizable female tangerine so that this looks legit.
I hope that this supports the fact that good bloodline do produce nice females regardless of the temperatures.

PS: sorry about the multiple threads.

Question 82* vs. 82*

i think i see the point alberto is trying to make. his eggs incubated at the same temps did not produce "chocolate albinos".

hey alberto where did you get your parent stock (phoenix and aphrodite) from? ron tremper?

also do you think its possible that your offspring are lighter due to the supplements you are giving the parents? what supplements are you giving to your gravid females (or your geckos in general)?
