[Talkenlate04]

She is a looker that is for sure!

[JoeRossi]

Blood & Lavendar

Are those blood (red) dalmation spots on her? I have a few and love the blood dals. Also it looks like she has some Lavendar tones which are nice as well.

 

[syndicate]

Yeah good eye there is a few red spots on her.Her parents have no spots from what I'm told.
Here she is goofing around with her larger sister.Shes been gettin much darker lately!

Interesting....possible swirl....

I was noticing in this last pic there is also the begining of the "swirl" solid stripe (designer morph) that she has a little of. Don't know if you had the chance to check out thread http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showpost.php?p=1438191&postcount=141 2nd and 4th picture, but man it is an awesome morph.

What the heck is a "swirl" solid strip "designer morph"?

I can't seem to find anything anywhere online on any of the sites about a "swirl" solid stripe "designer morph" (other then this post)

If you have some links describing this morph I'd love to check them out.

 

[JoeRossi]

Thought you might ask LOL I will quote Anthony Caponetto at his site, http://www.ciliatus.com

"Designer Crested Gecko Morphs
We get designer crested gecko morphs when specific base traits are combined with specific colors and/or with other specific base trait. In many cases, designer morphs are simply made-up names for projects where several different base traits (or 'morphs') and a specific base color are being combined.

For simplicity's sake, these names are simply trade names coined by the breeder who developed the project, in order to describe it in more simple terms and also to distinguish them from other bloodlines. For example, my 'Marble' crested geckos are a specific bloodline that combines an orange base color with a chevron-shaped flame dorsal pattern, an extremely strong Tiger pattern and Dalmatian spots. As you can probably imagine, saying "Marble" when talking about that bloodline is a whole lot easier than saying "Anthony Caponetto Orange Chevron Tiger Dalmatian".

The term solid "swirl" stripe has been used as well as several other names given to breeder specific morphs that may or may not be "anywhere online on any of the sites" however, this does not change the fact the the morph is there & until a specific name is used for this morph (there are so many different names for morphs) then I will continue to refer to it as a solid "swirl" stripe. Hope this helps and again you can see her unique incredible beauty here http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showpost.php?p=1438191 &postcount=141 2nd & 4th pic.

Hope this helps,
Joe

I know what a designer morph is, I just don't see anyone using the term you used which is why I asked. But I now understand you are making it up now so thanks for clearing that up.

 

[JoeRossi]

No Problem

Glad you like her & If you are one of the first to make it then yes, you can name it, or call it what ever you want LOL It definitely makes it Kinda Fun!!!

I never said I liked her.
I personally think it looks kinda plain.

It definitely makes it Kinda Fun!!

Yes I agree that would be fun.

But one gecko with a different color scheme does not mean I am going to coin a designer morph name for it. I'd only maybe do that if I started consistently producing geckos with those colors.

If everyone started coining morphs like the Captain Morgan Smoothie morph just because they produced a gecko that did not fall exactly into the preset morphs the hobby would be jacked up imo.

 

[JoeRossi]

I am sorry you feel that way......

1. "I never said I liked her.

I am sorry you feel that way . I thinkg she is beautiful and so do several others, but everyone is entitled to there own opinion Ryan.

2. "Yes I agree that would be fun".

Great, maybe someday you will start producing alot of unique morphs and will be able to.

3. "But one gecko with a different color scheme does not mean I am going to coin a designer morph name for it. I'd only maybe do that if I started consistently producing geckos with those colors."

I agree & A. She is not the only one B. I have consitantly produced several geckos (best of luck to you by the way) C. As I stated earlier, I have not been the only one refering to the "swirl" & would have to give credit to a friend of mine who produced several geckos as well and came up with the original name (I wonder if he might get mad if I claim it as mine LOL)

4. "If everyone started coining morphs like the Captain Morgan Smoothie morph just because they produced a gecko that did not fall exactly into the preset morphs the hobby would be jacked up imo."

Never had one LOL so I don't know about the Captain Morgan cliche, but I think your point actually already exist and that is why there are so many different individuals making names up for everything :clap: It does not bother me and I always welcome new comers to the Crested Gecko hobby as I have been doing this for a while & enjoy seeing others enjoy the hobby(Welcome Ryan, Best Of Luck)

My biggest male has a kind of swirl type pattern on his back

He has really nice crests to and lots of portholes.I'm wondering if he will fit into any of my current projects well or not.I dunno if I would call him a "desighner morph" hehe but hes a nice looking harley male :]

[Talkenlate04]

Yay I get swirls too!

And another one too,
This guy I bet has great swirls if I get a better picture of them.

Oh and sorry to hear about that egg dying after being shipped Joe. Hope it does not happen again any time soon.

 

[JoeRossi]

Swirl & Whirl

Looks Great Chris your swirl is close to solid & love the crest!!! Would be cool to breed to another and try to get it solid. Your Swirl is getting there as well Ryan keep it going. Ya, actually I have now had 3 eggs that were shipped that were infertile (Not Died!) That was my error for shipping them, but I did warn it was the females first clutches and she had not been proven yet & told them I would quickly refund their money or send others (which I did) 3 out of 100 or so is still great & 100% still have not died!!!! YES!!! all 3 were cut open and had no signs of life, but were infertile (claims by the individulas!) So I have still not had an egg die in all my shipping and am happy no little budies suffered. Thanks for the communication all

I am calling mine the soft serve ice cream morph myself.

Joe

So in March you said you have shipped over 50 eggs safely, and now 4 months later you are saying over 300 huh.........interesting.

"So, if you have shipped over 50 eggs safely and have recieved great feedback then someone has the opinion this

Post 30 if you want to refresh youself.
http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=148006&page=2

I hate math but lets dive in...............

Lets say when you said over 50 eggs shipped safely that meant between 50 and 60 (in this case we will go with 60) That leaves 240 eggs un accounted for.

So to make up the 240 missing eggs in 4 months,

lets see here 2 eggs a month per female, but only 4 months to get to 240,

That's 30 females all laying perfect eggs to get that number.

30 x 2 eggs a month = 60 eggs a month x 4 months = 240.

I smell poo...............

 

[JoeRossi]

You caught me lol

Your right, there was a typo Ryan, I ment 100 and accidently put 3 because I usee the "3 out of" right before. I went back and edited the post. I am glad to see you are on top of your game, went through all my posts, and are so interested in my posts and gecko breeding ...are you interested in a few of my geckos? Let me know if you wish to purchase a few & thanks for the long Math explanation when you could have just asked me if I had a typo

Best of Luck Ryan,
Joe

Ahh a typo, that makes sense. I always forget that the 1 and 3 are so close together.

are you interested in a few of my geckos? Let me know if you wish to purchase a few

I have 8.18.24/24 eggs incubating in the gecko department so I think I am ok for now. If I have a need for some of your swirl designer morphs I'll pm you right away with cash in hand.

 

[JoeRossi]

Thanks for understanding....

Thanks for understanding and yes the 1 and 3 are one key away, but it honestly was just the fact I just pressed 3 and was typing fast so I just hit it again I guess. I will try and work on my spelling errors and typing more. No, problem & just let me know on the designer morphs I always enjoy cash TTFN I think that is how it went ta ta for now, welcome to the hobby, and again best of luck.
