Appearance
Head
Blush is when a fired up crested gecko displays a pink/red colour under the chin. [2]
Controversy
This is characterized by red coloration under the chin and around the throat. We’ve seen in lavender animals that they have proven to produce red animals . In other situations, red x red animals have produced lavenders with red throats and blushing cheeks. This interaction is most often found in lavender animals and where the evidence for the recessive red description has stemmed from. The other hypothesis is that it is hypo causing the red pigment to be produced. Phantom hypo yellow base animals also tend to fire down dark but fire up red where there was dark pigment, these are advanced animals with several trait contributions, there is a lot of work that can still be done in this area.[3]
