Interesting marbled gecko

[PeppersGirl]

I've had this marbled gecko for nearly three years now, He's had the brightest orange tail and I've noticed he never changes to darker tones like the others do. He also has a different pattern - more like solid lines than fading texture.
I just wonder what's up with him, is he a different locality or should I be trying to breed this guy?

You best give it to me

wow awesome colour i bet he looks even better in person u might have something special there

 

[jordo]

Very nice. It's just natural variation (maybe different locality). Oh and he is actually a she

 

[PeppersGirl]

You say that jordo but looking underneath he's not! (Which by the way has me confused... seeing the calcium stores but he also fights with males lol)

[chewbacca]

hypomelanistic?

That would be my best guess.

 

[PeppersGirl]

Oh great, now I'm REALLY confused! Maybe I'll just breed him with somone anyway see what turns out

holy mack! stunning little dude!

 

[Echiopsis]

Hard to say for sure from the pics, looks like a Christinus and a Gehyra.

 

[Smithers]

Dig the target on his head

 

[PeppersGirl]

I know! I love that target!

So... male or female? I should probably get that checked on! I didn't think males had calcium stores, but anyway...

 

[GeckoJosh]

I think its a female, Iv seen girls with bulges pretty much as big as those, its not common but they can look like that

 

[PeppersGirl]

Oh okay, thanks So we all know, I'm generally hopeless at sexing geckos!

Anyone else beg to differ?

 

[Rocket]

Female and they're both Christinus marmoratus, not different species'.

that is a hot marbled gecko, if i could find ones like that for sale i would consider owning this, what i have always thought of as a fairly boring, species
