Tricolor Crested Geckos

The newest project we are working on at Moon Valley Reptiles is our Tricolor crested gecko project. Although not a true morph, the “tri-color” harlequin combination makes for a very striking gecko. We are pairing up 3 outstanding males this coming season in 2011 to provide genetic variation over the next few years, incorporating new blood as necessary.

2012 Tricolor Breeders

Our pairings for 2012 include Fandango as our centerpiece male, paired with Hänsel to bring more cream to the harlequin pattern. Bento may be paired with him later in 2012. Awesome-O and Sienna should produce white-tipped crests to be combined with other Tricolors and Pinstripes to produce full pinstripe tricolor crested geckos in the future!

Tricolor Crested Gecko Babies

We hatched and acquired a number of baby tricolors in 2011. Time will tell if they are going to go back into the project, but there are many outstanding offspring and new lines to cross in the future! New geckos added are: Turbo & Barleycorn from Rhactastic Rhacs and TV’s Frank, Gypsy, Cambot & Tom Servo from Gekkotas.com.

2011 Tricolor Breeders & Offspring

Our breeders from 2011 and some older shots of the offspring.
