I started the morning with a pink nose sticking out of an egg, and then I made myself a cup of coffee. It was a very slow baby gecko, he came out of the eggs is approximately 1.5 hours. All this time, I sent photos to the chat of breeders of hemiteconyx, where they worried and wondered what pattern of spots the booger would have.
I'll try to translate some of the strange words I said in a simpler language.
Morph - a combination of the background color, spots, and the location of these spots.
Het is a heterozygous gene that is not visible in the parents, but it can manifest in the offspring.
Normal - natural morph, the color of the original wild animals.
White Out-morph - white background and white in the center of the dark spots.
Oreo-morph, color reminiscent of the cookie "oreo", that is, black/white.
Zulu-a pattern of spots in the shape of the spearhead of an African tribe.
As a result, the baby turned out to be morphs of White Out Zulu and possibly Oreo, but this will be exactly clear when he grows up. It will still be very blooming.
