Out of curiosity and if you're willing to share, what do you do with animals who have produced offspring with underbites? Move them to pet homes?

I would say that geckos like this might fit into a new category - something like "super high white." I know others have produced similar as well - feel free to add pics.

Hi All, When I got into the species in 2009, GTs were ~$250 and white collar PIs were ~$350. Some days, I wish that was still the case! Now it's not uncommon to see high white animals with price tags in the realm of many thousand dollars. As the saying goes, "What's it worth? What someone else...

Underbite thread: https://moderndinosaurgeckos.com/forums/threads/understanding-underbites.96/

One of the concerns that hobbyists always have about chahoua is the dreaded underbite, especially as related to Mainland/GT chahoua. "Does he have an underbite?" "Did his parents have underbites?" "Has he always had an underbite?" "Can I fix the underbite?" Over the years, I've seen...

Critter Keepers work best for me too. Paper towel substrate, some cork bark, a vine and a fake plant :)

I don't recall the name exactly, but I'll have to take a picture. Even with a quick spray, the bins get such limited ventilation that the paper towels and egg crate were molding really quickly. It turned into a goopy mess in no time at all. I've been keeping my midget leachianus in one of...

I think I'm going to try this. I recently added horizontal cork and the females have enjoyed that, but adding sphagnum underneath makes a lot of sense for humidity. Thanks, Andi!

So... underbites are something that I did a lot of research on several years ago: trying to understand how, why, with what pairings, with what animals, etc. My very first chahoua had an underbite and I got him - I think for $190 - because I'd heard so much about this species being so cool, but...

Brian Grussing posted this on FB and I thought it would be beneficial to add here:

So cute!! Congrats!

Ugh, I'm sorry to hear about this and hope she makes a speedy recovery :( The worst fighting I've seen was between two females in a trio situation. The end result looked like one of the females getting scalped with a huge tuff of skin pulled off the top of her head. After several months of...

Back on the market... this one is now looking female, which is the last thing I need :)

Thank you... I really, really love her too. I think she's my favorite female in my collection overall. She was produced by @ET Geckos from Padawan x Revan :)

I know this is a sensitive subject, but I'm curious if anyone has any experiences or insight to share around line breeding chahoua. Years ago, I know many folks thought that all of the New Caledonian species were fairly resistant to line breeding, but I feel like those discussions were generally...

These guys are together now and have produced some of my nicest animals, like Pandora and Cora, the female above:

I just posted these two in another thread, but I'd like to pair them up in the future to see if I can get a dark/white offspring that's similar to the parents:

Does anyone use Repashy Bug Burger anymore? I found an old jar and mixed it up last night, but left it in the fridge.

Is that one from Jecko's? Its beautiful!

Ugh man. I had a GT years ago who went through a phase where he was completely black. He ended up rather dark green as an adult, but there was a period where he was really black. Here is one of mine: Down the road, I'd really like to pair these two and see if they produce similarly...
