Deepest darkest secrets...

[MelissaSR]

OK so not really secrets but I want to see your darkest geckos, I'm talking ones with little to no color. Not necessarily high white, I just know I have seen a few that have so much of the more natural pattern they have little to no additional color. I want to see those if you have them!

Yes....I want to see them too!!!

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 black/white offspring.

I know @Creepyexotics had produced a pretty dark PI not that long ago

Not sure if she will stay dark, but here is Pocket (mainland)

My man, Onyx (PI). He NEVER fires up like this anymore, now he's just a chill sage green and apricot, but back when he was a feisty newer man in the house he could get very dark indeed, hence the name. He just hatched a kid who has very dark potential who will be available if you're looking!

Second pic was taken by Jon Boone, who I originally purchased from.

Very nice! You know I love that combination of orange/red highlights with a dark base!

This is mine. You may have seen it few times on FB groups. It's a GT animal of unknown lineage. 3 years old, unfortunately I had no babies from him yet. The best troeger I paired with him this year made only bad eggs.... will se next year

I got this sexy GT proven male from Angie T. His last clutch he sired a melanistic baby. I am extremely hopeful and will pair him with my dark girl, Pocket, in 2021.

^ Seeing this thread made me think of that one @Angie_MamaT hatched out. I would love to see progress pics as it ages.

I would love to see an all black *adult* chahoua some day.

Soooo....
I have the female clutchmate to the all black baby pictured above, and their daddy. I was going to pair him with my dark girl Pocket in 2021. All black is a goal here also... now I have some carriers of the genetics

I had this male PI I sold a couple yrs ago ... kicking myself for it! He was a unique one
