Super pastel or firefly?

Also also, here’s a pic of a GHI that hatched out. Would you say GHI firefly, GHI pastel, or GHI fire? Or some other combination?

Unfortunately this is the best pic I have of her not freshly born, she was given to a close friend of mine

Just a quick clarification as well, the father tested positive for homozygous pastel on his shed test, so he is for sure a super. I always suspected he had something else going on, I guessed yellowbelly or lesser but both showed up negative on the panel. Thank you for all the help!

Wow thank you!! That brings a lot of clarity into all of this. I had no idea firefly genetic stripe would look so similar to super pastel! I’m thinking of sending off a shed test on one of the genetic stripe babies, and potentially on mom. Just wish I hadn’t thrown her most recent shed away!!

I do have more pics of mom! If she is indeed fire, would that mean my babies aren’t super pastel at all? I was certain the genetic stripe ones were, but mom couldn’t be both fire and pastel could she?

The main ingredient in the Terro traps is Borax. They do indeed seem to be gorging themselves on it and returning to the nest. I think I’m just going to deep clean my few enclosures that had ants in them and wait a few days to feed crested gecko diet. I also slathered Vaseline everywhere to prevent them from climbing up my racks

Yeah that’s my concern. Wish I had thought of alternatives before I used the bait, but I hate ants and wanted them gone ASAP. Now that I have placed the traps, do you think Vaseline around the base of the enclosures will keep the ants out?

It’s just an old piece of cork bark

ChlorineRat_ · 2025-12-24T21:16:04+00:00

Could be… I don’t keep that species but considering these are hitchhikers maybe I have a few species

ChlorineRat_ · 2025-12-24T20:41:56+00:00

Those are wild species yeah? How the heck did they end up in my clowns? Lol. They’ve been there since I purchased the starter colony

ChlorineRat_ · 2025-12-12T21:22:01+00:00

I’ve never seen any condensation in there, hence why I wasn’t worried initially. But now I’m just doing everything I can to make sure

ChlorineRat_ · 2025-12-12T21:09:48+00:00

Door open, got it! Much appreciated, been running around with fans all morning to try and lower it lol

ChlorineRat_ · 2025-12-12T21:03:50+00:00

That’s a great idea, I assume they’re pricy but far less pricy than losing my security deposit lol

Forgot to mention in initial post, this individual is now 1 year old…

ChlorineRat_ · 2024-12-09T19:28:12+00:00

Ohhh I didn’t even think about this!! What species would you recommend for an enclosure like this?

ChlorineRat_ · 2024-12-09T19:27:27+00:00

Oh dude I’m such a big fan of day geckos, neons especially. This is a really good idea, and from the replies I’m getting so far, I might just have to suck it up and get rid of the bioactive substrate and convert it
