Youkai,
I am no expert, but let me quote the 2003 "Reptile USA" annual issue. (They had a great article on the crested gecko's).
And taking it within it's context, they were describing the "Fire Pattern" of "Cresties".
QUOTE: "This exciting pattern gives the impression that the gecko has glittering flames on it's back. It is usually prominent between the lateral rows on the gecko's back, but now is showing up on the feet and flank as well. The tern "fire" is not descriptive of the actual color (which is actually a bright, creamy white), but rather the unique placement of the color that gives the appearance of a flickering flame".
So based on the writers opinion, the term "fire" does not have so much to do with the color, as much as it's unique pattern, and it's placement on the body.
Hope that helped. (And sorry if I'm wrong...but that's how I understood it).
In Christ: Raymond
:Alright all, I have some questions.
:I have a few 'dark fire' cresteds, with the typical pattern that first comes to mind. Bright yellow and white 'fire' marks in the back, head, sides and limbs. The base color is a dark brown/grey/black.
:Now, I have some other ones where the pattern and colors are almost identical. However, instead of yellow and white, it is bright, bright orange. I can hardly wait to breed those particular animals.
:In any case...does that count as fire? Bi-color? Orange-dark-fire-bicolor?
:The picture is of a 'normal' fire in daytime colors.
