wow, awesome SHT,urban blood?

be sure to post pics of the babies when they hatch,,they'll surely be lookers
 
What type of camera and lighting are you useing to capture color so well? I have noticed most of your pics show color really well. Seems that all my picks get washed out a bit, under various lighting. I am waiting for a decent sunny day here to use some natural sunlight..that may work a bit better.
 
Morgan, believe it or not I am using a point and shoot canon powershot A70 with a close up lense...... The trick to getting true colors is in the lighting AND in the white ballance...... You must adjust the white ballance to get real color pics otherwise the flash will wash the colors out..... No need to go out and spend thousands on a camera......
 
As far as lighting goes, it is a regular 60 watt soft white bulb..... That is just so the camera can focus better....
 
Ahh, alright, I still have a lot of learning to do with mine, I have only had a chance to sit down and check it out once. I'll have to play around with the white balance some more. Thanks :p
 
Yeah it took me a while and alot of bad pics to get it right..... I still have some experimenting to do....LOL
 
Terrific

The entire body looks just as good as the head. :D I don’t think they can get to much more orange than that. If your male looks like she does I can’t even imagine what those offspring will look like…
 
Thanks Cody..... The only thing that is killing me is that the male developed three spots on the head..... He was the real redish orange one I posted a while back..... His orange color is just like hers though and his body is clean and he has a ton of carrot tail...... I am hoping the babies will be smokin.....
 
He’ll still produce some stunning offspring. The range of babies (as far as color) is usually pretty significant so you could end up with many baldies. If memory serves me right the baldy gene is carried and pasted by the female. Maybe someone else knows for sure.
 
Truely amazing animal

Baldy being passed by female.

I have experienced that as well. Nitro produced Fusion who is a baldy. I think there is a close relationship between Dark orange and regular Melanin. I'm not sure but I have seen that in alot of Tangs. Awesome gecko by the way Greg. I can't wait to see those hatchlings!
 
I am real happy with this girl...... She has stayed the same color through breeding and laying...... I am so glad she did not develope any spotting...... I just need to work some more carrot tail into these guys..... I think the male I am using will do the trick..... This is her first clutch so I am expecting the worst (not being fertile) and hoping for the best..... The eggs still look good though.....
 
use grow bulbs, daylight balanced for indoor use. they sell them at lowes and other stores like that
