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.
