OK, I'll preface this by saying that I am not into morphs, I still haven't found any that I think compare to a nice normal. But, in my store I figured it would be nice to be able to offer a bit of variety so when I decided to get back into breeding my own gecko stock I decided to go with a morph. I purchase a nice young male patternless rainwater albino and a female mack snow het for PRA from Jeremy Letkey and set them up with four other normal adult females that I had left over from last seasons purchase (also from Jeremy) I'm not sure how much time passed but I started to get eggs eventually. At first I just had them in my back room which stayed at a pretty much constant 75 degrees. I figured that it would just take the, longer to hatch. Well, after about 6 weeks I decided to go ahead and build an incubator so I did and put the eggs in at about 80 degrees. I was just about to give up hope when lo and behold, a full 86 days after laying this little baby finally popped up. First egg to hatch and it happened to come from the female I got from Jeremy and it happened to be a Mack. Pretty lucky I'd say. I had 4 eggs hit 86 days today but I thought they might hatch sooner because they were laid about 2-3 weeks after the first pair and I thought they might go sooner because they were in the higher temps sooner than the first pair. I've also had a pair hatch that were laid about a week after the second group so I don't think the second group will make it. Still, I'll keep them cooking.
Sorry for the rambling post, just thought I'd pass on my little morph story. Now I'm waiting for the patternless albinos.
