• In case most of you have not noticed, I made changes to the donation amounts as well as the durations for all of the paid membership levels. Things are winding down here, and this seems to be the most prudent way to deal with the "end of life" period of this site.

    Contributor level members - $10 per 30 days
    Sponsors - Eliminated
    Benefactor level members - $25 per 30 days
    Endowment level members - $50 per 30 days

    On July 1, 2027, all paid memberships will be closed.

    On August 1, 2027, FaunaClassifieds will be terminated.

    Only change I expect that might take place is when I can get around to figuring out when the amount of money I would have to refund for the yearly paid memberships becomes less than the monthly expense of leasing my server, THAT date might be the termination date for the site.

I’ve been keeping and raising high crimson giant day geckos for a number of years. I recently acquired a male and female (wild caught) Phelsuma grandis that lack any red spots or markings other than a red chevron on the head. They are quite beautiful and I intend to keep them together to produce offspring.

My question is: has anyone attempted to selectively “breed” the red out of them? I’m wondering if an all green male and female will produce offspring that are all green or will they have red spots? The female appears to have a faint blue cast to her so perhaps she has the blue blood gene.

If any one has any experience with this, I would appreciate your feedback.
