Hyper Xanthic Snow

Ok this is sort of a late post that I should of posted weeks ago lol. I bought a Hyper Xanthic Snow female (JMG line) from Jessica (GeckoBabies) a few weeks ago. This has got to be the boldest gecko Ive ever seen. Well just look for yourself. She's easily over 20 grams so this color isn't going to fade much if at all. I have great plans for her.

Bell albino =)

Our last set of eggs for 2010 (most likely) hatched today. Well one of them hatched, the other hasn't hatched yet, I will update with a photo when it does. Here's the first one that hatched.

Gem Snow het raptor X Bandit hatchlings.

Well I suppose my bandit female, Cleo, is het for tremper albino and possibly even raptor. Today we had 2 lovely hatchlings come from the pair. It was the first babies ever from these two, and I must say I'm amazed with how pretty they are. First hatched a snow with an amazing pattern, gorgeous stripe and lots of boldness. Then secondly hatched what shocked me. I had no idea my bandit was het for anything, however its not that unrealistic since she came from Ron Tremper. Well just see for yourself. Let the pictures do the talking.

Caramel Albino Fat-tail Geckos

I haven't had much time to update lately, but I wanted to take a moment to do so tonight. A week or so ago, Craig from The Urban Gecko sent us some African Fat-tail geckos. I was very pleased with the pair, they are just too cute. The male is Caramel Albino and the female a het Caramel Albino. We will be breeding these in the next season to come. I will keep most of the females in order to get my collection up. But I will still offer some for sale. Here is a photo of the pair. Enjoy.

Bell Albinos Hatched on 8-20-10

I forgot to update about these little guys hatching out. I think I already have a buyer for them. They look ok, could be brighter in my opinion. But you never know, they could fire up.

Super Snow Patternless x Super Hypo (w/o carrot tail) hachlings

These two are from my super snow patternless male x super hypo female pair. The mother is Gertrude. I know the odds say all should be snow but I some how got a non snow out of this pairing. Lets see how it developes.

Even more Bell Albino eggs.

Yep got 2 more today. Lets see if they hatch a month from now.

Raptor x Raptor clutch hatched.

Not exactly sure how I got a normal marked baby out of this clutch. Any who here's some photos. I think the normal looking one might hypo out. And I also think it has 2 solid black eyes (eclipse).  The other is very pale in color. I'm curious to see how it matures. It's got 2 solid red raptor eyes.

Lavender Jungle het Raptor Hatchlings

This morning I found this pair hatched. They wasn't due for another week so it was a pleasant surprise. They come from Hue and Dorthy (Raptor x Jungle Snow). If they are anything like the older sibling I got a few weeks ago from the same parents, then the black will turn lavender. Ive noticed something about these 3 babies from that pair that's pretty interesting thus far. On all 3 the end of the tail is blueish gray. It will be fun watching them grow.

Bell Albino eggs Hatched! =)

Ok so we have been waiting on our first pair of Bell albino eggs to hatch and yesterday they finally did after 41 days of incubation. They were incubated for males, with the hope of replacing my current breeding male, with one of these two that hatched. What I'm looking for is a nice Tangerine Bell to go with my female. Our male is bright but not really sporting the markings that I wanted in a mate for her. These two that was born yesterday look promising, not to mention they are HUGE babies. They are almost the same size as a 1 month old Leopard gecko. So I'm considering the possibility that they may be Giants. I spoke with Nevin Moyer, the friend who I got the parents from, and we cant figure out why these two babies would be so large since neither of the parents are large themselves. He has a line of "Liberty Bells" but the parents arent from that line I don't think, and even if they were, like Trempers, the parents must visibly be Giants in order to pass the Giant gene. So I don't know what to think about the large size of these two babies. I will keep everyone updated with growth rates as time passes.

Hypo (w/o carrot tail) x Super Snow eggs.

Today we got our first eggs ever from this pairing. They may or may  not be fertile. Either way we will find out in a couple weeks if they are. =) Fingers are crossed. The hypo female, Patches; has a lot of green in her coloring, the male is my high-white super snow, Mittens. Hopefully we will get some really pretty Hypo Snows from this pairing. P.S. The photos here are half a year old. This pair is larger/older now then in these images. I need to break out the geckos and camera, and take some up to date photos of everyone.

Snow Bandit x Gem Snow het Raptor eggs

Cleo laid me some more eggs last night. These was larger then her last pair of eggs, hopefully these will be fertile, the last ones she laid turned out to be duds. =(

She laid these in her water dish but I found them right after she had laid them so hopefully it didn't affect them too much.

New Gecko, Hitomi

A friend (Ray @ Designer Geckos) sent me a cute little gecko today. I named her Hitomi, she's a bandit, at around 20 grams (haven't weighed her yet). I have 2 bandit females now I just need a male lol. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

More Bell Albino eggs

Dixie and B.B. produced us some more Bell albino eggs this morning. The next set of eggs that is due to hatch, at the end of this month, is the first set we got from that pairing. It was an accidental pairing and Dixie has continued to make more eggs despite being separated from B.B. as expected this is not uncommon cause leopard geckos can retain enough sperm for up to 3 clutches. I was worried she might be too small but she seems to be doing very well and keeping her weight up. Mainly cause she is one of those females who will still eat while gravid. I'm glad she's that way, it means I can worry a little less about her.

Possible Giant Raptor?

One of the little girls I hatched around 2 months ago, is growing super fast. She's already reached the 20 gram mark and her carrot tail is amazing! Ive never seen a carrot tail go so far down the tail before. It fades as it gets closer to the tip but even though its faded it's still reaching the very end. She has a cute little black spot on her hip. Not sure why, if not for it she would be perfect.

Super Snow Patternless x Super Hypo (w/o carrot tail)

I got my first eggs from Helga today. Helga is one of the 4 Super Hypo girls. I purposely bought mine with out the carrot tails. It wasn't easy finding some with out a carrot tail. I bred these two morphs together, with a certain morph in mind as the result. I wanted some very clean Hypo Snows. And eventually after breeding the offspring from all my females in this project together, I will produce a combination of the Super Snow, Patternless, Super Hypo traits in one gecko. Here's the parents of the pair of eggs I collected today.

Zig Zag Baby!

Today hatched a very cute little gecko, who's parents are Dorthy and Hue (Jungle snow x Raptor). So the baby is Jungle Het Raptor. I incubated for female, we'll see how that goes as "she" grows. I was really pleased with the way this gecko turned out. I was really hoping for some snows but I cant be disappointed with this little gecko baby. Absolutely gorgeous pattern imo.

More eggs! lol

On the 24th we got some more eggs, this time from Rosie and Hue. (Raptors) Those two keep giving us great clutches, both of the past clutches from them that's hatched, gave us 1 Jungle pattern Raptor and one Patternless Raptor in each clutch.

Another Hue x Dorthy Clutch.

I received 2 Great eggs from this pair tonight. I'm still looking forward to hatching her eggs since that last one that was 70 days old turned out to have quite an interesting baby inside. It's very possible that Dorthy is het Raptor after seeing that egg's inhabitant.

Snow Bandit x Gem Snow het Raptor, clutch!

My girl Cleo (Snow Bandit) just laid me 2 gorgeous eggs. I cant wait to see what those turn out like. I know some people don't like mixing Gem snows with Mack snows. But I just had to see what these two would make. Jewel (Gem snow het raptor) is a killer looking gecko with a

pattern on his back that reminds me of the diamond shaped saddles on a redtail boa. The next 50 or so days is going to feel like torture.

We got our first Bell albino eggs!

Now I don't normally breed Bell Albinos. But these were a gift from Nevin Moyer last year. He sent me a nice pair of his Bell Albinos along with a Gem snow het raptor after I did some graphics work for him. I really loved the pair so I kept them, now I got my first pair of eggs from the two he sent me. I was sort of surprised that they laid so soon. My female, Dixie surprised me with a pair of eggs tonight. Ok maybe I wasn't really all that surprised. About a week ago I noticed she had some egg follicles. So I took her away from B.B. (the male) and put her some where so she could rest in peace till she laid her eggs. I was sort of hoping she would reabsorb them if at all possible but she didn't, and tonight she laid us some very healthy looking eggs. Good job Dixie.

Hatchlings this morning!

Rosie and Hue did it again. Another wonderful pair of Raptors.

Eggs on 5-27-10

Hue and Rosie had a clutch of eggs on May 27th. One egg may not be fertile, it was stuck to the side of the egg box. Ever since it was added to the incubator Ive noticed it getting a little off colored. So it may have been damaged.

2 New Geckos

We received 2 new Geckos from Paul Allen Tuesday. I'm just now updating cause I had to remake my blog due to Wordpress errors. Don't ask me to explain, neither me or the people at customer support can figure out what the deal with it was. Anyways, Paul from Bright Albino sent me two new geckos on the 25th. Both females, one being a Tremper Tangelo (Hybino) Giant and the other, a Gem Snow Tremper Eclipse (Raptor with out red eyes).

New Blog

Ok I officially hate Wordpress. First the blog screwed up its self when I changed themes. Deleted all my previously entered posts. Then out of no where it screws up my website after supposedly getting it fixed the first time. And yahoo web hosting customer service sucks too. So I decided to use an external blog provider. And just link to it from my site.
