Deformed eyes...update
Hi all,
I think most of you remember my posting about the little gecko I hatched with deformed eyes. So far she's still doing quite well. She still hunts well, and her eyes don't have the problems like when she first hatched.
Here are some updated pictures:

I'm glad she is doing well! She is a beautiful leo too, from what I can see. Is she a hypo tang?

What a beauty!!..unfort..you cannot breed her cause the sunken-deformed eyes will pass on some of her babies

Actually, the eye deformity is a direct result of incubation, not genetics - though I still will not breed her.

Youkai, I'm curious to know how you've determined the defect to be a result of incubation as opposed to genetics. These type of mutations are very common in bloodlines that have been inbred too long without introducing fresh genes.
No disrespect, genuine curiousity

The male has been bred to a few females, all completely unrelated. I had this one girl with the deformities, as well as some others dead in the eggs, when I tried to do this 'tremper incubation' method to lock gender but provide nicer coloring. Eggs incubated normally from the same male and females hatched out with no problems at all.

I see, very interesting. That seems to be sound reasoning. I'll have to keep that in mind if I try any unorthodox incubation methods.
Would you go so far as to say that the prescribed method was flawed, or were there mitigating circumstances that may have corrupted the experiment?
