Our ID People

[lumpy]

So I have been thinking about this for sometime and decided that a wiki on this would be a vital thing to have. So, I’m gonna ask that if you’re confident with IDing certain types of animals and their combos that you put yourself down in the wiki. (Note, that you do not have to be graded every single gene or combo). Also, if you aren’t on the list, feel free to add yourself, it doesn’t mean that I don’t think you are good at IDing.

So here are some people that I can think of off the top of my head…

Leopard Geckos

mblaney - ID help

[ghoulishcresties]

Love this idea

[saleengrinch]

Maybe include what they work with and have produced in the past in case someone is looking for help with a specific gene.

[lumpy]

I like that idea. What are the general genes/groups you work with? I know vanilla and pastel are two lol.

[saleengrinch]

Sable, champagne, gargoyle complex, yellowbelly complex,black eyed complex, hypo, pied are the main ones. I have various others as well lol maybe leave pied off I’ve hatched quite a bit but am terrible at identifying combos lol

[lumpy]

Like so?

Ball Pythons

saleengrinch

their work

Sable, champagne, gargoyle complex, yellowbelly complex,black eyed complex, hypo, and pied.

[banereptiles]

Sounds like a great idea to me!
If you do add what we are working/familiar with mine would be bel complex, hypo, gargoyle, g-stripe, genetic granite type (carbon, nanny, ect.) Gold blush, pied, yb complex. Although have to agree with @saleengrinch with some frustrations in identifying pieds for sure

[saleengrinch]

For sure put @steelserpents on that list she works with a lot and is super good at identification in my opinion.

[erie-herps]

I love this idea! I think it will make it super useful when ID questions are asked so we can give the best answer.

[steelserpents]

Thank you!

[garciademueller]

This is an amazing idea! I’m gonna add a hognose section.

[mblaney]

Would it be a good idea to include links to the posts about how best to ask for an ID? HERE is mine.

[steelserpents]

Love this!

[ballornothing]

Great idea Riley!

Like the others, I hatch pieds but I’m not much on IDing stacked combos with it.

I hatch a little bit of a lot of things but heres what I work with most

GHI, Enchi, Banana/CG, OD, Fire Complex, BEL genes, VPI Axanthic

[fmr1]

There should be a disclaimer that says something to the effect that there are no guarantees these folks are accurately identifying anything.

[akmorphs]

I have also gotten better at IDing snakes that are whacky for ball pythons. I don’t know if that meets the qualifications though, ha-ha.

[khigg]

it’s good to see best guesses is mentioned. too many times I’ve seen positive IDs when impossible. Just my 2 cents

[westridge]

I work with:

Locality Boa Constrictors
Locality Rosy Boas
4 species of Sand Boa
Calabaria

In the past I have also worked extensively with Leopard Geckos, but I’m not working with them right now. I also worked with Ball Python, Corn Snakes, Old World Ratsnakes, Lampropeltis, New Caledonian geckos, Uroplatus, Phelsuma, monitors, and amphibians.

[ghoulishcresties]

At the moment I work with…

Tangerines, phantoms, Tricolours, Lily whites, Lavenders, Hypos, Dalmatians, Super Dalmatians- ink, oil, red orange and yellow spots too, Reds- Red and Creams, Neon reds, Hypo reds, Dark reds, Oranges, Extremes (Tricolours and Harlequins), Harlequins, brindles, tigers, Pinstripes- Partials and dashed too, Quadstripes, jet black based (dark based).

Guide in asking for Crested Gecko morph help

So we have a lot of people on here who ask for help with their Cresties. We are all happy to help but sometimes the pics aren’t that clear, so my advice is pics in natural lighting, you can always see the Geckos true colouration and patterning/markings that way So what we need from you is a picture of both sides (laterals) and a picture of its dorsal. That will help us to help you [image] [image] [image] Daylight pictures will help tremendously compared to ones taken…

[snaxxs]

I’ll throw my hat out there for Carpet Pythons. Especially jungle, coastal & jaya(papuan). I also keep and breed Brazilian Rainbows and BPs but we already have a great list of people for BPs.
