Nice I really like that blood . When I first got a male I paid 450 for I was afraid to even handle him but you will get your money back

 

[staceyleigh]

All are gorgeous! I really like the Snow Raptor, hoping to produce one of those myself this year to hold back!

Steve has great geckos. You will love them all! I don't even want to know how much I've spent with him over the years.

I love them already I just wish he had a Blood shtct male available..lol

 

[DrCarrotTail]

Congrats on the new additions!

Man there even nicer now that I looking at them on my computer and not my phone. Man the DB is white, and that mack raptor has some serious colors going on Steve's stuff is killer.

I can't wait to see them in person!! I am on my laptop because my desktop powerhouse is failing AGAIN!!

On this computer:

g8 looks just like g7 EXCEPT for some slight yellowing on the "eye" pics...
g9 has the crazy colors?? what causes the raptor to have the "blizzard-colored spotting"?

Out of curiosity, what's the plan with the het marble eye? It doesn't look like it fits in with anything else?

That FedEx truck needs to hurry up and BRING MY NEW FAMILY MEMBERS!!!! :O (**can't really call them "babies"...lol)

 

[tb144050]

They are finally here, and they look AWESOME!! Some are some big squirley ones so I am gonna have to watch them!! It's gonna be a busy day!! I'll let them settle in while I make some more hides and go buy water dishes (since I can't find the extra's (never used) I bought 2 weeks ago. Can't wait to feed them tonight....!!! So exciting!!

 

[Josh P.]

Congratulations mate! Always so exciting the day we get new leos. I love it.

 

[SarahSaur]

They're beautiful!! I love the eyes! Congrats

They're beautiful!! I love the eyes! Congrats

I guess there is nothing "fancy" about g12's "normal" eyes, but they are beautiful. I snapped this pic today and zoomed into this amazing awesomeness.

Then what? Not a good breeding plan IMO.

 

[tb144050]

Then what? Not a good breeding plan IMO.

....then breed a hatchling back to the Tremper het marble eye. Yes it is "rolling the dice". 2nd year produces:
-about half Trempers; half will be "het tremper"
-HOPEFULLY, about 1/4 of all the hatchlings will be Marble eye (if this hatchling got the "het marble eye").

 

[Treefolk]

It would be a good plan if your marble eye was a male because you could roll the dice on multiple females (50% would be het), but instead you only get to breed one male back and if he isn't het, you start all over again and could miss the next year as well.

It will not be the end of the world if my future-male-hatchling doesn't get the "het Marble eye". And yes, that would have been preferable IF he had a male for sale.

There are other options for next year:

1) future-hatcling males x future-hatchling females to create a small variety of hatchlings and possibly prove 2 @ a time.
2) I may even have picked up a male Tremper Marble eye by next year...

What it comes down to is this: I was buying a blood SHTCT female and a SHTCT male.....and had enough for another SHTCT female....so the "het marble eye" is just a fun bonus to play with. Please PM me with any questions regarding breeding plans. This particular thread is in "show off your leo's" and I intend to just post pics here.
