Oreo
African Fat-tailed Gecko · 0 live listings
Oreo is a recessive African fat-tailed gecko morph with a high-contrast black and white look, lacking the usual tan and orange. A visual Oreo needs two copies, and het animals look normal while carrying one hidden copy.
At a glance
The tradeoffs, honestly
Recessive projects take generations, and het claims cannot be seen on the gecko. Care is identical to any fat-tail.
Common questions
What does het Oreo mean?
The gecko carries one Oreo copy but looks normal. Two hets produce about one visual Oreo in four on average. "Possible het" means it is not proven.
How do I verify a het claim?
Ask for parent photos, breeding records and a proven pairing that produced visual Oreos. Looks alone cannot confirm a het.
What health test should I ask for?
Ask for a crypto test and a clear fecal on the colony, since crypto causes wasting with no reliable cure. A thick tail and clean toe sheds are good signs.
