She may have 'concentrated' all the available 'red genes' in the family...
I.e. her relatives have some of the red alleles for some of the genes, but
she has more of them than any others in her family.

Still offering to accumulate and analyse R.ciliatus color/pattern inheritance
data here...
Your best bet for getting more red geckos is to breed her to her closest
male relatives, i.e. her father and sons, or even more incestuously, breed
her to her father and to a son of that mating, to her grandson from mating
to her son, etc. The idea is to get geckos who have her as a substantial
fraction of their ancestors, more than the 1/2 they get from having her as
their mom. :-)
> I've even heard there's a green ciliatus in the works.
How green? I've seen pics of gray-green and gray-blue-green ones. I think
these colors occur in the wild. What amazing little animals, goofy little
faces, milk mustaches and all.
