    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Good news and bad news

Hi,

again an update on my Hypo project.
First the bad news:
The little male developed some spots on head:

But I still do not give up this one. Because those Hypos that turned out spottless on body as adults had spots on their bodies as babies. So maybe it's the same thing here...maybe the spots on head will fade later. And even if they do not fade,he still has less spots than the Hypo animals. So I still hope that this one turnes out as a Super Hypo.


Now the good news:
I hatched some more project geckos!
Another clutch from "Super Hypo x Hypo"-pairing hatched!
One is pretty dark and the other one is pretty light. Both are Hypos for sure. Maybe the light one is a Super Hypo...but I hatched out Hypos that were pretty light as babies as well...but not that light ;)

And I hatched two other project geckos from "Hypo x Hypo"-pairing.
One of them is a normal! So what was obvious in theory before is now proven: It's possible to produce normals from Hypo x Hypo breeding, what proves the fact again that the Hypo animals only have one copy of the gene.
I will post pics of the other two new project hatchlings later...


Greetings from Germany, Johannes
