โ€œIโ€™m done buying geckos this yearโ€ฆโ€ S**E!!

I know Iโ€™m not alone on this one! I mean, DAMN, look at her! ๐Ÿคฏ This NON-LW had me in a chokehold, and I finally gave in! This season, Iโ€™ve ramped up production and the bank charges. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But the truth is, every purchase has a purpose.

Iโ€™ve said this before, but whenever I consider adding a gecko to my collection, I always ask myself one question:

โ€œCan I pair this gecko across my entire collection?โ€

Itโ€™s not just about what a gecko looks like, but what it can contribute to the projects Iโ€™m building towards.

Axanthics have held strong and remained popular in the hobby since their introduction over a decade ago. Since then, weโ€™ve seen the AX gene evolve in some incredible directions, especially internationally.

Stateside, however, I donโ€™t think weโ€™ve seen nearly the same progression. Oftentimes, weโ€™re still seeing Phantoms, dashed pinstripes, flames, and lower-expression Lilly combos and that represents a large portion of whatโ€™s being produced with the gene.

Which brings me to a question Iโ€™ve asked myself while building my own AX project:

Whatโ€™s the point of producing a visual if the only goal is producing a visual?

For me, I treat Axanthic like a base color. It should be the canvas, not the finished product. IYKHETYK. ๐ŸฆŽ

Shockingly, this unusual pink-toed hatchling, which appeared to be related to a Pied morph, unfortunately didnโ€™t make it. I havenโ€™t spent much time researching Pieds, but from the images Iโ€™ve looked through and my limited understanding, there appears to be different forms of Pied โ€” some associated with incomplete dominance and others with recessive inheritance. Neither parentโ€™s lineage has any record of producing anything similar, to my knowledge. This is what Iโ€™d consider a โ€œone-off.โ€ Parents in last slide.โžก๏ธ

โ€œCasperโ€ Sable Lilly White

This guyโ€™s first season has been an absolute banger, and his kids including the normals have been crushing it!

Sable sat on the back burner for me after it exploded in the hobby because I didnโ€™t want to start a project without a clear vision. The classic Harlequin look is what drew me to Sable in the first place, but my goal was to exaggerate that pattern while preserving the contrast. I think weโ€™ve accomplished exactly that.

Casper was produced here, and heโ€™s executed his task. Heโ€™ll be making his exit in the next drop. โœˆ๏ธ

Iโ€™ve been on a manhunt for future outcross males, and itโ€™s rare to come across one that checks all the boxes, and isnโ€™t directly from a mainline.

Iโ€™m always searching for an outcross thatโ€™s built from other outcrosses. To me, thatโ€™s where selective breeding really begins. Sometimes the gecko that gets you one step closer to your goals isnโ€™t from the breeder everyone knowsโ€”itโ€™s from the one you almost scrolled past.

This guy is a combination of some of my favorite pairings from the past, all rolled into one, and exactly the kind of addition I was looking for to heat things up! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

100% Het ChoCho Lilly White

This girl was kung fu fighting. ๐Ÿ˜‚ ChoCho has become a really compelling project in my collection, and the direction Iโ€™m hoping to take this recessive gene feels like I just started a new game. Integrating the traits Iโ€™ve spent seasons selectively breeding and layering them into something new is a different kind of excitement. This time around, my goal with the LW gene isnโ€™t high expression or full coverageโ€”itโ€™s to enhance pattern, increase contrast, and let the geckoโ€™s natural traits do the talking. Sometimes, less is more. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Bangarang ร— Roulette

Growing out your own productions never gets old.

This beefcake is almost a year old and a second-generation Kaizer kid out of Roulette. The pattern on his laterals is bulletproof, and his white spots are woven into his gold-orange pattern.

I originally held this guy back to continue Kaizerโ€™s line, but with a new roster of males ready to outcross, itโ€™s time for him to make an impact elsewhere.

This oneโ€™s lined up to โœˆ๏ธ

Bangarang ร— Rheya kid progression

One of the best parts of selective pairings is growing babies out and seeing that real before-and-after evolution. This girl is just over 30g and still nowhere near finished developing. Every shed keeps adding something new.

If thereโ€™s one thing Iโ€™ve learned working with white spot and snowflake patterns, itโ€™s that the snowstorm doesnโ€™t hit all at onceโ€ฆ it builds.

TKO by the clutchmate. ๐Ÿคฃ

Anyone else hatching little monsters? These babies are from Kazimir ร— Lady Luck, a small Harlequin project thatโ€™s been a slow burn but itโ€™s definitely heating up. I donโ€™t have many Harlequin projects cooking, but this pairing is throwing some absolute smokers!

Last photo: FAFO.

Lavender Frappuccino

This one didnโ€™t inherit the red-orange base from my Blood Orange line, but thatโ€™s exactly what makes every season exciting. You never know what the line is going to throw.

This guy is from Konaโ€™s final season as a breeder, and heโ€™s a reminder that even repeated pairings donโ€™t always produce the same offspring. Genetics always keep you guessing.

Last photo is a full siblingโ€”a nearly translucent red-based Lilly.
