So I don't know much about genetics and I have one question:

I have a male SHTC and a tremper albino female.. What do you suggest to buy more? I want to buy 2 more female ( maybe 3) .

I don;t want to make a bussines just to make beautifull and colorfull babies!!!


Any ideas or toughts?

Thank you

Umm if u breed the 2 ull get hypos het tremper, im not sure if you want to get different morphs or what you are planning to make, also don't forget that you'll have to house and care for the hatchlings, I think a single female can lay up to 12 eggs and if they all hatch then you will be responsible for 12 lives.

Well as far as genetics are concerned you should just get Tangerine females if your want colorful babies. They can range greatly in price and quality. You get what you pay for in any line bred morph. Also females can lay far more than 12 eggs in a season...but they also might not lay any. I have had some lay in the high 20's every season and others lay 2 eggs and quit or not lay at all.

What are you going to do with all your "colorful babies" if you aren't going to sell them? One female can have 10 clutches a season or more. Multiplied by 3 or 4 and you could have 100 geckos. Crayons are very colorful too you know! Draw as many as you like!!

I will give them for adoption or just donate them for free . I just love the geckos so much.... If you want you could answer to my question not just laugh and adress so "smart" words... Nevermind....

Adopting out and giving away for free helps crash the value of leos in general, which, if you're a fan of the creatures, really does them no favors. Think of how many dogs and cats are out there that are unneeded. We're not there with geckos yet, but look at your local craigslist to see how many leos get dumped as it is. Some of them are decently cared for, but a lot of them aren't.

^okay, I take the craigslist part back, as there is only one pet ad in Bucharest for a bichon maltese.

I personally would stick with your one pair and see if you can make some tremper sunglows from the hets. Maybe get one more female so that the hets you breed to each other aren't full siblings for genetic variability. Just make sure they really are both tremper females and not some other albino line.

If you cannot understand these points, and the reasons folks make them, maybe you should not breed and stick to pet ownership.
