Orang Tiger + Rust/Orange Fire = ???

[AnthonyC]

I figured this pairing would be kind of interesting to show you guys. What's strange is that this particular pairing has thrown reddish colored patternless offspring as well as the type shown below.

Enjoy! :D

She's every bit as bright as dad, but with lots of pattern.

I love the pattern on the head at a month old, really cool looking...neat pictures Anthony, its always great to have pictures comparing parents to offspring, especially with cresties because of the possibilities :D

Awesome colour on them, as usual ;)

Thanks, Heather. I'm glad you like. :)

A lot of the babies out of that line have that pattern on their heads.

I was actually hesitant about putting those two geckos together since they look nothing alike. The results were not at all what I was expecting. The weirdest part is that some are completely patternless and some are like the one above...and so far, never anything in between.
