Looking to start breeding

[darkangel212]

Hey everyone,
Well im looking to start breeding leos, just gotta find somewhere to get an incubator cheap...but anyway anyone have any tips for me?

Also how do those rack systems work?

Rack systems are awesome. Mine are homemade. Vision makes the best but very expensive. Sometimes they are for sale in the classified section in GF. For incubators the cheapest I seen is around $50.00 shipped from LLLReptiles. I would use a thermostat to control the heating of it. For a rack I would suggest a Helix or Herpstat thermostat. You can order those from www.beanfarm.com
As far as breeding morphs I would start off breeding a morph you like.

Well, I have some tips. Don't take any personal please...just trying to help.

1. Don't do it for money. Do it because you love the animals.
2. Don't let anyone tell you you can't do it...because you can if you really want to.
3. Learn genetics before you breed ANY animals. It helps you and the buyer in the long run.
4. Don't get too many too fast...start breeding a small amount first to see if you like it.
5. You can get a cheap incubator like a hova-bator.
6. Invest some money in good animals if you are serious about it. People will buy your stuff if you have good animals.
7. Read as much as you can about breeding and geckos.
8. You can buy or make a rack. Paul has a rack design on here that is really nice.
9. Have fun with it! The second it's not a passion is the second you should not be doing it anymore.
10. Make sure you have the money for vet visits and food.
11. Check out our website. www.maltgeckos.com... on the care sheet we show some stuff on how we set up our tubs.
Those are just some of my opinions that I think may help.
