    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....

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.
