I figured I would make my first post here. I am a high school science teacher. Genetics is a big part of the Biology science standards so I am starting a class project using leopard geckos.

The students will do most of the care including cleaning, feeding, collecting eggs, etc. I am starting with a nice mix of genetics. Students will learn about the genetics of each gecko and predict the genotype and phenotype of each offspring.

I have kept and bred many types of reptiles, but this is my first experience with leopard geckos.

Welcome to GF. Sounds great. Hopefully school will still be in session when you get the "payoff". You may want to consider writing an article for Gecko Time (Gecko Time - a blog about geckos) after the project ends.
