First time breeders leopard gecko collection

[Theinfidel]

Hi, this season will be my first breeding season, i live in south FL so hopefully at least one of my 5 females will start ovulating when feb starts. I was wondering what morph is my male in the first picture? is it a hypo snow?(i know i still have some research to do for leo genetics) also some of these pictures are a little dark so bare with me

Male hypo snow

male Blazzing blizzard

female raptor

female 100 percent het eclipse and something else cause of the orange i see on her tail.

SHTB (the Bully) she's my most dominant leopard gecko.

Female hypo carrot tail

Female Tremper

Big mac?

Yep, your big mac is a Hypo Snow. Very pretty! They all look nice :main_thumbsup:

As far as I know, there is no such thing as a "Raptor Albino Eclipse," since Raptor already means it's an Albino Eclipse, or am I wrong here? I would call her a snake-eyed Raptor.

I think your female 100% het Eclipse IS an Eclipse, because she has full black eyes and a white nose and white feet.

Good luck with your breeding project! You have lots of different morphs. What are you going to pair?

Im not sure im still a newbie lol, but im still reading on some stuff but any suggestions for pairing up would be great

i would suggest you research the morphs a little more before deciding to breed. and i agree that the "het eclipse" is actually an eclipse. she's nice looking and that is a RAPTOR as well. very nice leos. learn as much as you can and good luck

Was thinking the same thing on that eclipse.

 

[Theinfidel]

The breeder i bought the eclipse from told me that for sure it was 100 percent eclipse as we can see but there was something else that he wasn't sure of so to find out i would have to breed her.

 

[fuzzylogix]

does the breeder have the information on the parents?

 

[LZRDGRL]

Well, what kind of babies do you want? You could try one of these morph calculators:

The Mack Snow male will give you a 50% chance for Snows, and 50% non-Snows, so he would be great with any of the females. Too bad none of your males is het Raptor, because that's a recessive trait, and in order to get Raptor babies from your snake-eyed Raptor girl, you would need at least a het Raptor male. (Unless one of your males proves out to be het!)

I don't see what the Blazing Blizzard could give you except for het Blizzards (but they won't look like Blizzards), but if you cross those babies back to their dad next year, they would throw Blizzard babies for you. So he would be great for line-breeding if you like white geckos.

Do you have an incubator yet? Those two I think are very good if you are starting with a little budget (unless you make them yourself): the HovaBator for only 39 bucks (but for which you will need a thermostat which can cost over a hundred dollars), and the thinkgeek mini fridge (about 100 dollars with shipping).

Have a nice breeding season! My geckos have started already.

It's been such a long time since i contacted the breeder so i don't have his number i don't think he had a website at the time so i don't know where to look him up so id have to do some searching on fb or something lol. But yeah im sure he does. But like i said he told me on the phone i have to breed with her to see fully what she is.

 

[Theinfidel]

Thanks a lot LZRDGRL. I do have a hovabator, a digital thermometer/hydrometer and the reptitemp 500r thermostat. I know the thermostat isn't great but i am thinking of getting a helix on my next paycheck or so and the fridge seems like a good deal might get that soon as well.

I agree. They're all really pretty, especially the eclipse.

Sup dude it's been a while glad to see the male hypo snow is doing awesome and the female eclipse is looking real good. As I mentioned the female you got is an Eclipse Het Tremper.

 

[Theinfidel]

OMG dude! haven't seen you in a while man i was trying to get in contact with you but i lost your number man. If you dont mind can you send me thru private or something.
