2011 Breeding season off to great start

This year we have expanded our breeding projects and the 2011 leopard geckos are starting to hatch.

So far there are 5 RAPTORs, all from our beautiful RAPTOR, Lemon Drop. This year we bred her to a RAPTOR that came from Oregon Geckos, Weasley. Weasley has a nice orange color and we hope the offspring will keep his color. We also bred a second female and are waiting for her first clutch to hatch.

Last week our first tangerines hatched. These are from Halloween and Midnight, a pair that produced some beautiful geckos last year.

Introducing our SHTCTs

Super Hypo(melanistic) Tangerine Carrot Tails are characterized by their orange/tangerine color, few to no black spots on the body and at least 15% of the tail is orange. The higher end SHTCTs have more intense tangerine coloring and the most pronounced carrot tail.

We plan to breed some high quality SHTCTs and offer them in 2011. Here is our collection.

Sunset - female SHTCT - hatched by Supreme Gecko in 2009

Voorhees - SHTCT male

SHTCT male from Gecko Elements - He needs a name

One of 2 new SHTCTs from Supreme Gecko - 15 grams on Oct.13

Another new one from Supreme Gecko - 14 grams - probably female

Two new hatchlings this morning

I have 2 albinos that I bought as Bell Albinos last year. The male has the eclipse eye mutation, which would make him a valuable Bell. But I kind of suspect that one or both of these geckos is really a Tremper albino. Trempers are more common, especially to also have eclipse eyes.

In early August I noticed that the female was ovulating and so decided to breed her with the male to see if I got albinos or normals. If the offspring are albino, then the parents are the same type of albino. If the offspring are normals (not albino) then the parents are 2 different types of albino (e.i. Bell and Tremper).

She laid her first clutch (2 eggs) on August 29th, and today the first 2 hatched. They are both albinos.

I still don’t know if they are both Bells or Trempers. Although I suspect Trempers. I will need to cross the male with a known Tremper albino female that I have. If the offspring from that cross are all albino then I’ll know I have Tremper albinos.

I like how one of the hatchings has a stripe down its back. More interesting genetics.

Bought a few new leopard geckos this week

This week I purchased three new leos and traded for one. Not that I need more gecos, but I’m trying to improve my breeding stock for next year and beyond.

I’m adding a nice SHTCT (hoping its a female), a raptor male, and a pair of halloween mask/bold stripe combos. I’ll get some new pictures posted soon.

In the mean time, we have some juvies for sale that we need to find homes for soon. Let us know if you are looking for a nice looking leo.

Working on the site

Trying to get this site put together enough to make it public. Been trying to get some pictures of the geckos but they keep trying to get away. Will keep plugging away.
