Getting Back In

[bohannbj]

So I have decided to get back in, but on a very limited scale. I'm living in Virginia now attending law school and lets just say there is not much to do here. I have already setup a four tank saltwater system that's going great and since I have all my old reptile supplies I figure a trio would be a nice addition. I have been looking at the current morphs and see that all the expensive morphs are now reasonable to affordable. Here's what I am looking for and am open to any and all suggestions as to (1) where to find them; (2) newer morph combinations; and (3) reliable worm dealers. Here's what I'm looking at:
1. Super Giant
2. Enigma
3. SHTCTB
Carrot tail is a must for at least one and some sort of eye mutation would be cool. Not trying to start up a business, just have a little fun so my budget will be limited.
Thanks for the help,
Brent

Think I have made a decision on my project. I'm looking at a tremper giant male, nova female and a dreamsickle female. I've made some inquiries with forum members (like to buy from within the community) and may have found them. Has anyone had experience with combining giantism with the enigma trait? Just trying to look before I leep in case there have been problems.

You would do well to attend some shows if possible, not just to buy, but see a wide selection of geckos and talk directly with a number of breeders.

As beautiful as enigmas are, be sure you understand the genetic syndrome prior to considering them as breeders.

Is the enigma problem getting worse in later generations? I remember it not being much of a problem when they came out.

I don't and won't breed enigmas, but there are members that do so, very selectively. There's quite a few threads on the forum about them. Try the search function, a lot will show up to help you to make an more informed decision than what I could post here.
