Piebald Crested Gecko

HOW CUTE!! :love: I want one :aww:

Agreed, it's pretty sad..he bought it and is now selling it. I wish someone would be dedicated to this project.

Shame,

He's gonna be choked if it does turn out to be dom/ co dom and he just missed the odds.

I'd have at least bred back a few of the F1 offspring or otherwise managing to replicate it before selling him.

Then again we all have bills and $35k ain't chump change.

To me it honestly sounds like a failed project and the lines didn't prove out and hes trying to make some cash from it .... If it proved out it would be like printing money :P

Geez, you know how people always say piebald bps look like they're wearing a torn sock? That totally looks like the paint is chipping off.

Well Matt at Pangea purchased the project so at least we will all get to see how it plays out

Wow, that's awesome that he bought it! I saw he provided a direct link to it on his website this morning. Exciting stuff in the crested world right now.

Sickk !! I have to get my hands on those thanks for sharing

I have to disagree about that being sad. I know he is very into ball pythons and would rather sell his cresteds to have more ball pythons, which to me is very understandable. Just because he is selling it doesn't mean he isn't dedicated but I personally think it's great that he is letting someone else have a chance at proving it. If it's proved he's going to be kicking himself in the butt, if it doesn't prove out he will have 35K more in ball python morphs :) I don't think it makes him a bad guy IN ANY WAY just because he decided to sell this project.

I just look at it as if I had a piebald corn snake (hypothetically) and was the first to have it ever I would definitely sell it to someone who actually LIKES corns. I do not like corns! I just understand it as he preferred ball pythons over cresties. Makes sense.

I completely agree.

I had no idea he was into ball pythons. This information is quite essential in him doing the right thing by selling the group. Matt at Pangea will give it his all trying to prove out the gene. I'm crossing my fingers for him, and I think the original owner made a great choice, the spotlight (free advertising), and a lot of money.
