I mean, if I get most of them females and breed them and get a full season out of them. That would be nothing but profit. Since I have 8 Incubators, I keep farms of Crickets and Mealworms. I make my own Calcium and Vitamin Supplements. I sure I could get something out of it in the long run.

holy your one lucky son of a gun 
Dr. Torres is a busy man
Hi,
I can vouch for Dr. Torres since he is a friend of mine- he is a great guy and truly cares for his animals! He keeps and breeds beard dragons, rare agamas, tortoises and uromastyx; as well as leopard geckos. I was just at his place a few months ago, everything in his collection is captive bred and healthy. He produces nice animals, I know since some of his breeders are from me! Dr. Torres is a very busy man, in addition to his passion/hobby for reptiles, he is also a professor of immunology at the University of California Davis School of Medicine and one of the top experts in retrovirus/oncogenic viruses, as well as current cancer research in the entire nation. I wouldn't be surprised if he takes several days to respond since he travels throughout the states giving presentations and lectures, just be patient!
Some may also recongize his name from Tremper's book/website...from the famous "blue" gecko project. Here is the link below and the text from his website
http://www.leopardgecko.com/projects.html
Blue Albinos........Update 12/03/05 - After three years of test breeding the "blue spot" female (pictured in my new book), the results of which have proved fruitless as to being able to duplicate a hopeful new mutation, the mystery has been solved by José V. Torres, Ph.D., Professor, Medical Microbiology and Immunology, School of Medicine, University of California - Davis.
In his words,"........On page 169 you have pictures of a female albino with blue on her tail and suggest that it could be the foundation for a new morph. However, it looks to me that this animal has a blue hemangioma. This condition is fairly common in humans and sometimes appears as a poorly-defined, slightly raised, blue subcutaneous nodule with normal overlying skin. The blue color is due to the accumulation of de-oxygenated blood. Most of the time it is a benign vascular malformation. Grossly, cavernous hemangiomas are blue, soft and spongy. I suspect this is the case since the three sections of the tail involved are larger than the normal surrounding ones."
To put it simply, the blue spot is a leopard gecko birth mark of sorts. So the quest for a blue leopard still eludes us.
Hope that helps,
Jon
ps- breed leopard geckos for profit? LOL

I didn't say make profit from breeding them. If I bought them cheap, bred them. And sold them. There is a possible way to make profit. Since I already have everything I need. Including cages, I have extra incubators, cages, racks, and Plenty of food. There is a possibility.
And I know who he is. I read that book through and through many times. Haha. But so far, people don't think of making profit breeding Geckos. I actually have in the past 2 years. And so far this year I have.

The Doc is a customer of mine. Very nice guy! I would worry about folks on Craigslist buying geckos from him, not him! :main_yes:
