Yellow-Orange Base Color
This project is one of my personal favorites. The yellow-orange base breeds very consistently and with Phantom being recessive, it means we get only yellow-orange Phantoms from the project - no morphs of what I call "byproduct of genetic odds". When all the babies fall within the scope of the project, that propels the project further and faster than when you're doing something like Lilly x Non-Lillly, where only roughly half the babies will be what you're looking for.
These come in various configurations from projects we've developed over the years - all while outcrossing consistently to maintain a deep gene pool. In fact, several of our yellow-orange sub-lineages now incorporate outcrosses from a wild collected male I acquired back in 2007. He was supposed to be one of the last ciliatus imported and had not yet been bred, so adding him to our group added another layer of uniqueness to it.
These modern C2/Citrus line derivative geckos grow large and it can take some time for their color to really come out. The nice thing is they already look pretty good as babies, so the fact they get better and better makes them really fun/rewarding to raise up. When you see them in person, you'll realize the C2 line, and all its offshoots we've produced over the generations, are some of the best colored yellows and oranges in the species.
The idea for this 3-pack is to put together a group of hatchlings that you can start a group with, or potentially add to your existing project. Unrelated hatchlings will be selected unless otherwise requested. If you're just starting your project, you might consider 2 or even 3 of these 3-packs which will give you diversity within the project, so that you can outcross them as you go.
Recommended For:
Breeders
This will be the best money you ever spent if you like the project. Get 2-3 (or more) of these 3-packs and you'll have a project that you won't need to add anything to, unless there's a new gene you want to incorporate.
Show Vendors
If you have a clientele for higher-end geckos in the $400-1K price range, this will give you something that you don't see many breeders, let alone vendors, offering - because not a lot of these combos exist.
