Sid_Wolf Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 I am thinking of breeding my leopard geckos again, I mentioned it before and a few members were interested I have one male, Ecko, who bred with Kimiko, we had 2 hatchlings from this (Kimi's tankmate turned the other 2 eggs before I got to them ) I'll be breeding the same 2 again, Kimi is the best temperament girl I have out of the 2 which are the right weight to breed This is Kimi (her colour has faded now) And this is Ecko These are the 2 babies Will probs be breeding after xmas if i decide to do it again. They wouldnt leave me till they were at least 8 weeks and feeding well. I'd expect at least 4, pricing would depend on the colours, regular colours (like the babies above) would be £25. Would anyone interested?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid_Wolf Posted October 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Lol my 1st one Izzy was my 1st ever 'own' pet, he was great, shame he was pet shop bought and ill After he died I got Kimiko from a breeder. All my other ones have been bought from the shop I used to work at, I can talk to their breeders any time. They're great 1st time pets, easy to care for and fairly hardy lil things, really friendly too, mine have bitten me, but only when i've been feeding them, and they've missed the food I used to take Kimiko into the shop and she would sit on my shoulder as I spoke to customers and they would get to hold her, it was handy cus the young ones we had were skittish and she was a good example of how tame they could be with good handling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siberian_wolf Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I would love to have one too but not just yet. We are looking into bearded dragons at the moment so for now more reptiles would be a no, but maybe sometime in the future we may decide to get some geckos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siberian_wolf Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Cool Amy, I have a Rankins Beardie, hes smaller than normal beardies but cuter lol awwwww they are so cute I've been to visit a guy who owns a reptile shop and he breeds his own beardies. Been in there a few times and both parents are lovely and healthy and their last hatchlings (few of them are still with they guy - fully grown now) are adorable and all easy to handle.

Wizadora Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 i 've kept and bred leopard geckos for about 8 years before i sold all mine on a few years ago. they are great little pets. i set up a damp hide ( made from a tuper ware tub with a hole in the lid) filled with soil or coconut peat stuff, kept moist and just check it every week for eggs. then shove them in the incubator, each pair of eggs in its own small tub with no holes in the lid, filled with peralite or similar stuff. i take it you know the incubation temps for males vs females etc. you can get about 3-5 clutches of eggs per season.

Sid_Wolf Posted October 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Kells I could recommend some cheap tanks, you can pick em up about £15 Yea Wiz I know it all they have a spagnum moss moist box for egg laying, tho she once laid them in her regular hide, which is why they got turned 1st breeding season clutches are always less, so hoping to get more this time around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizadora Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 if you give them a larger hide, and put soil from garden centre in it, to use when they are laying, they will use it as a shedding place and an egg laying place, and your eggs wont get disturbed. x Have you got Leopard Gecko Gentics book by Ron Tremper? Excellent book if you are breeding. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid_Wolf Posted October 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 No i havent, may be worth a read, I was hoping to get some nice morphs from those 2 but they came out normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizadora Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 one looks normal and one look albino, are they he.t for anything? maybe i can help you out working out probabilites? the book is invaluable if you breed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid_Wolf Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 I have no idea! lol Neither are albino, they both have normal eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celestial Echo Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Aaaah! We have 2 bearded dragons named Paco and Toadstool. We also have 2 snakes; 1 Albino Tangerine Honduran Milk Snake, and 1 Colombian Red Tail Boa. We love reptiles. I want Tokay Geckos, but they are mean little buggers.

Sid_Wolf Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 I so want a tokay too!!! We had em in the shop once but I like pets I can hold, Tokays didnt really fit the bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizadora Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Kimi is definately a tremper albino, the other one is definately a hypo or super hypo, you won't get any other babies than hypos or super hypos, which basically means they are a normal phase leopard gecko but with reduced spotting. But all the babies will be heterozygous for albino, which means if you mate the babies to each other (or another leopard gecko thats het. for albino) or an albino you have a chance of getting more albinos. if you want me to explain in it detail and the probabilities of each baby being an albino etc, pm me. albino means a lack of melanine which is the black pigment. Kimi is most definately an albino leopard gecko. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
