Change of plans..

As it turns out, our gecko "Gizmo" (the one in my avatar), who we assumed was male because he was incubated at 88 degrees, is actually FEMALE!!

and a snow! Snows don't even incubate at the same "rules" (when incubating for females, breeders have found they still produce mostly males).. So here we are, incubating for males, and we get a female!! What are the odds of that?

She and her clutchmate "Chance" are just days over 2 months old. This explains why "Chance" is much bigger - he is about 33 grams and she is just over 26 grams.

But so the name "Gizmo" is no more.. Yes, Emily, we are changing some names around (again!!)

We are going to try line breeding for size, and since they are Osiris' and Nefertari's children, we changed their names to Anput ("gizmo" - snow) and Anubis ("chance" - normal)!! :main_evilgrin: definitely one of next season's breeding pairs :main_thumbsup:

It's crazy how that happens. She's very cute though!

All of our Snow Bells ended up being males last year, some were from the female incubator and some were from the male incubator. Darn Macks! It did remind me to never sell a Mack unless it's visually sexable.

Im not saying your wrong what so ever, but Emily could still possibly be a male, she just may develop later then everyone. Isnt two months pretty early to sex them? My 10 month old beast of a blizzard male didnt develop until he was 8-9 ,months old. You just never know!

Thanks Kristi!

Mel, I will definitely have to keep that in mind!

Jasen, 2 months could possibly be too early, but she(he?) is pretty big for two months of age, and her clutchmate has been showing for awhile now. We also have a much younger and smaller male that has a HUGE bulge already.. which doesn't guarantee anything, but I really think this one is female now You are right though, anything can happen around month 8 or so, because I have heard of that before as well.
