Hi. At our high school, we have 1.2 donated leos about 3 years old. They are high yellows with a fair amount of spotting. The male has a very slight orange bit on his tail. I managed to hatch 4 eggs that they laid last year, which hatched in June '07. I got 3 definite females (incubated at lower end of temp scale) which have a fair amount of spotting. Two are high yellow, one is a high yellow with some tiny orangish bumps especially on her back legs, and the largest one, which hatched when it started to get warm here, has very very few spots on its body, not that many on its head, and a 33% carrot tail. Two of the high yellow definite girls have a bit of orange on their tails. I think the largest one's a male, because its head is larger than the others.
I bought a gorgeous SHTCTB female at a local reptile show a few months ago, who will be of breeding age next month. She is my darling, so utterly sweet and beautiful. She has NO spotting at all, a nearly complete carrot tail, and is a yellow-orange color, not really the color of a tangerine.
I was originally going to put her in our school leopard gecko tank with the prolific resident male, but then had a thought--perhaps I should replace the school male (who is very sweet) with this young hypo male (if indeed it's a male), to get more carrot tail and hypo babies. I want to sell the offspring of the school geckos in order to support their cricket habit during the year, since I receive $0 from the school to keep our little zoo in the lab.
Would this be a good move? Thanks for any advice.
