livingart Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Because of the small gene pool in nz one needs to be aware that as well as breeding for colour that other inherited faults arent being passed on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Dragonz1833, since you seem to be the only person on here adequately qualified to make the judgement could you answer a few questions for me please? 1 What is the internationally recognised definition of a hi yellow leopard gecko? 2 Is it a yellow lizard with few black spots? 3 Is it a darker coloured yellow lizard that fades out to look like the rest--like Angela has for sale on trademe at present? (and no one seems to want to buy) I have bought these and they do fade out. 4 Is it like the gecko picture on the profile for Angela? 5 Is it just a somewhat meaningless term used by the person who originally bred leopard geckos? Making derogatory remarks about other breeder's geckos will not improve the quality in New Zealand but doing some serious work on them will. There are geckos being sold here and claiming to be all sorts of things but I guess if you show a picture of what you are selling then people can make their own judgement and buy it or not.

Rabbit Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Hi Yellow is defined by reduced spots nothing more, This is a hi yellow as stated by Ron Tremper so it is not debatable. Yellow is present in wild type it is simply more prominent due to reduction in spotting. I do believe this is too vague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 It is very difficult to tell how many spots a baby will have until it starts to convert to adult markings. My point was that because of the small gene pool in NZ it is quite possible that various new markings will pop up and good luck to those that work hard at it and arrive eventually at something new and spectacular. This will not be achieved by rubbishing everybody elses leps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reptilez Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 So judging my picture of my male that I put up, it is a hatchling so how do you determine it to me a hi yellow or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I bought a baby with dark yellow colouring to see if it would stay that way. It faded to look like a normal high yellow so I resold it. There are a few around that are starting to get differences such as the very light coloured one shown (pastel maybe), some with yellow in the tail rather than white and some with an orange tint. If these characteristics can be extended and fixed we may all have something good. Slagging everyone elses will not improve the quality of yours or theirs.
