Very nice.
I've often wondered how a person can tell which are the 'Hawaiian'. It looks as if you have a couple different types there. Any insight into distinguishing the Hawaiian ones?

i know ive seen breeders list the hawaiians as different "types" like type a type b type c , but i do not know the criteria to classify them as if.

OK. On what grounds do you call yours Hawaiian, then?

like i said under, lighter colored and pattern
Type A mourning geckos, which are the most common variety in the hobby, also turn light at night or when kept in a dark enclosure. Although type A may or may not occur in Hawaii, they aren't what people are referring to when they say "Hawaiian" morning geckos. Types B and D, with their bold spotting, are considered "Hawaiian".
The geckos in the photos appear to be both Hawaiian and the more common type A.

If I'm not mistaken, there are 3 "strains" of Hawaiian Mourning Geckos recognized. Theres lots of variation in each strain but a general look for each. A university (can't remember which or find link at moment) did a study on partho behavior of HMG's and part of the article talked a little about the 3 stains. If I remember correctly, A is high spot, B is med spot camo look and C is what we would all call normal or regular. All 3 strains can be found living with each other too.
Temperature and mood has a lot to do with how light in color a MG can get. Also, the look of a strain can change over just a few generations. Not too dramatically but spots increase, more or less color etc.

So, James and Greg, is there any distinct phenotypic differences between Hawaiian MGs and all others? Or is the distinction a matter of locale origin only without any recognizable visual markers?
