Acid Stripe progression

Rainwater actually has been known as the WORSE strain for holding color. That's why very few work with them.

Interesting, I did not realize that was the common opinion. I have a two year old RRS from Albey that never changed a bit during breeding. My Tremper and Bell stuff faded and dulled noticeably. I think the Rainwater stuff shows yellows better from what I've seen, maybe not as orange, but I have nowhere near the first hand experience to pretend to be authoritative.

Travis, you should post your new line on leopard gecko wiki. These definitely should not be classified as normal RRS's

Keith - Well you don't have a normal RW. RRS and FW were line bred to get to the point they are now. You typical RW tends to have nice color until 50+g and then they fade relatively fast. I would agree that Tremper and Bell both will fade more than a quality RW...but everyone will argue to use the best pf the other two strains. I personally think a good line of RW will actually be brighter and matain better color and stripes than any other line. I have some stripes after 2 seasons of breeding that are better than juvi stripes of the other lines.

Thanks Russell. We have some of our geckos on wiki...its run a bit different now.
