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.
