Just Wondering

what would a blizzard and a mac snow produce

 

[acpart]

50% of them would be Mack snow. They would all be het for blizzard which will likely mean that they'll be speckled. Here's one of mine that is also a stripe:

Unless you know the genetics of both leos, then I wouldn't recommend breeding them. Just my opinion.

 

[blazethegecko]

linds my animals are pets not for breeding and selling im just doing it for fun do genetics really matter in this case

 

[Lindz0518]

No, there have just been a lot of people on here lately that have picked up a couple petstore geckos and then asking advice about breeding. I didn't mean any offense by that , I think it's good that you are figuring out genetics.... I still get confused after owning leopard geckos for 3 years and trying to learn all the morphs and hets. I still need to learn more, lol.

 

[blazethegecko]

yea lol im not breeding to make money or anything

With all of the problems you have had with your leopard geckos. I can not believe that you are thinking about breeding. Even if it IS just for a hobby and not for selling. Is Topaz even still alive?

 

[blazethegecko]

ozy i have no idea what your talking about think you have wrong person

I think Topaz was owned by LeopardGeckoFan. He definitely had a bunch of health issues!

Breeding leos is super easy - finding good homes for the offspring is not so easy. A single female will usually produce 10-20 eggs in a season and you need to be prepared with food and a place to put all those babies if they hatch. I personally wouldn't go to the time and expense of breeding geckos with unknown backgrounds even for fun. Its not something to take lightly and I'd recommend investing in high quality stock and starting with a clear goal in mind rather than simply putting available leos together. There are just too many unwanted little guys out there.

+1 to the Doc. I wouldn't breed them just for the heck of it.

True. I know of someone on another forum who picked up two pet store crested geckos (looked almost identical, so I'd bet they're from the same clutch), and they wanted to breed them. When I said it wasn't a good idea because the person had no clue what the genetics were, someone said that all crested gecko are the same so it makes no difference what their genetics are. X)

A little unrelated, but still, the same concept applies here. OP, I seriously doubt you're going to want or be able to keep every leo produced in only one clutch. What are you going to do with ~15 babies?

Yeah, he isn't the one that has the geckos that he refused to separate even after he found out they were males and constantly has problems, I think one of his geckos is named Blaze as well though.

 

[blazethegecko]

i have a normal that bought as my first reptile named blaze at the petstore but the blizzard and mac snow were bought from a breeder

 

[Ozy]

Got confused because that other person had a leo named Blaze. Sorry

I think at 16 unless you have a great job you shouldnt be breeding.
