I remember that thread the guy
had paid a few thousand dollars for that gecko and a couple of pages later had
it advertised for 35k! He had no info on the geckos parents and the offspring it
produced weren't piebald and pictures of the offspring weren't shared so when I
left it was the only one of its kind . I
haven't actually kept up with it since 2011 so there may have been further
developments since then
Seems like nothing came of the offspring, which is a massive shame! Must be so agonising, knowing that you have the first of its kind in captivity, and you cannot produce any offspring of the same morph!
Would have loved to see pied cresties! We can all hope for more in the future eh!

One of the guys from Pangea ending up buying the piebald, his name is Matthew Parks (not sure though). I read a few threads about how he tried to breed it but the eggs were bad.
He posted this in October 2014:

I figure if he could produce pied babies we would know by now. I'm not very educated in Ciliatus genetics but would love to hear more from Matt about whether he thinks it is recessive or just a freak of nature.
