Leopard Geckos

Phantom

Every so often, you embark on a breeding project that takes you on an exciting journey of discovery. What began for us as curiosity with this project soon led to intrigue, then to an all-out obsession. But the incredible result was well worth our investment of time and emotion because the Phantom is like nothing else we’ve seen before.

An Urban Gecko through and through, the Phantom required three years of development. It all began when we crossed our own very special Snow line with Super-Hypomelanistics Carrot Tails, in the hopes that the offspring would exhibit reduced pattern on the head, body and tail. The results were successful, so we then took the offspring from that union and crossed it into our most extreme Sunglows (Tremper albino strain). These offspring were even more unique, exhibiting reduced pattern from the head to the tail and the background coloration ranged from white to pastel yellow to a greenish hue. With the project moving in the right direction, we took the final step, which was selectively breeding the most exotic offspring to one another. This merger created the gecko we decided to name ‘Phantom.’

These very special geckos express either grey or pink eyes. Through selective breeding, we expect the Phantom to ultimately evolve into a gecko displaying beautifully soft shades of lavender, yellows and pinks with a patternless white tail.

What we are seeing now is only the beginning for this morph and we are very excited about the opportunity it represents. When we reflect back to how the Sunglow has evolved over the years, it excites us even more about what’s yet to come. The Phantom has that elusive never-before-seen quality that we love and we can’t tell you how proud we are to call it our own.

This is our first year offering the Phantom and their availability will be very limited. They represent an amazing investment opportunity and we hope you’ll agree that they’ve been worth the wait.
