Re: Morph ID Please
I agree, she does not look Rainwater to me either.

Re: Morph ID Please
I can't really get to grips with why the breeder would breed two enigma's together....
Rainwater Enigma Raptor is a real morph... homozygous for rainwater enigma and raptor. Which would be wrong as then the albino genes have been mixed.
The genes of the parents would suggest it is a Rainwater enigma raptor.
However.
Your gecko clearly isn't homozygous for Raptor though. Or enigma for that matter. Its just a rainwater i'd say.
I think she may have the parents messed up, or eggs mixed.

Re: Morph ID Please
Jordan, I sooo agree!!!
Lucy has the enigma syndrome. She circles quite often. Now, that I see her parents.... I question why she would even breed two enigmas.
And as far as Ethel, I will just call her a Rainwater.
Thanks!!

Re: Morph ID Please
On second thought, you maybe right with parents or eggs mixed up. Ethel is Tremper Albino...haha...final answer (:

Re: Morph ID Please
Because they felt that the enigma is a "desirable" trait. People who haven't dealt personally with an enigma who was strong enigma signs don't have the proper regard for it's destructiveness.
Re: Morph ID Please
I agree with you Jordan. What ever you going to breed a Enigma with - you will produce Enigma so what's the point with breeding two of the same morphs together. Its not like a Tremper albino where you have to breed it with the same morph to produce babies like the parents :/
Re: Morph ID Please
I actually recently found out that breeding a Super Snow to a Super Snow can lead to deformities and still births. For that reason, I shy'd away from a Super Snow pair; and genetic reasons are why I will never breed enigmas. It sounds just awful that the syndrome does to them.
Re: Morph ID Please
Never knew that about the super snows, thanks for that
My boyfriend and I have a Enigma each. One brought from someone Sam knows. The other brought from a very very good breeder - They both turned out to be having problems with Enigma syndrome x

Re: Morph ID Please
Sounds like the breeder has a lot of "mix ups". Rainwater is one form of albino and raptor is tremper. If she is indeed het for both that is a genetic mess.

She is a sweet pet, and I have no intentions of breeding. She is a good example of muddy waters in the leo world.
