[sparticus]

have a look on the geckophiles forums( geckos unlimited) they are the same as the amelanistic castelnauis that the americans breed.Absolutely awesome animals..castels to be proud of for sure.

Thank you all very much for your nice comments!!!!!!!

It seems the more 'orangey' coloured animals are common O/S, am I correct?

Yes Rocket, you're right!!!

Hopefully they turn out to be a male and female for you. Good Luck.

Thanks!!!

Well, it seems that they are indeed a pair!

They seller told me that he can see the sex of them when they are newborn babies!!!

But he can only see the hemipenis-bulges of the males for about maximum one week
after they hatched!!!

And it seems that he was right!

As always Lars, stunning animals

They look like little lollies!

Haha, thanks Miss B, and I must say that your Bredli on the avatar is a true stunner!!!

Yes sparticus, I know the amelanistic castelnaui's.

But they are much more expensive and the babies have a ligher colouration!!!

I got dark babies and they can get very dark (nearly black) during the day!!!
Like this gecko here!

Please scroll down a bit here to the second last picture!

There you can see amelanistic hatchlings and my geckos look similar to the dark castelnaui
on the third picture!

Whilst he isn't as nice as Lars' animals, this is my male Oedura castelnaui. He is about 16-17cms and has a nice set of jaws on him.

This is 'apparently' a het for hypomelanism Lars but most regular animals being bred in Aus look like him. It seems these days more hets and hypos are being bred than regular coloured/ patterned animals.

How are they going Lars? Got any photos you'd care to share?

[sockbat]

Amazing beautiful!!!! Excellent pics

[Lars K]

Great-looking O. castelnaui you've got there Rocket!!!

They are doing great and turned out to be a pair.
The female just recently laid their first eggs.
But they can get very dark too and I'm not too sure if they are het for hypomelanism!
I noticed that they brighten up in the dark, and when I switch on the lights they are getting
much darker.
