Number of breeders

[FelanMoira]

I was just wondering how many breeders y'all have.

 

[malt_geckos]

We have 10 right now but a BUNCH on the way for Christmas presents.

I own too many, yet not enough.

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

Ditto that!

I think friday in Daytona we should hire a speaker on obsessive compulsive disorder and it's effects on our colonies ... hahaha

i don't breed any longer and i don't plan on breeding leopard geckos again, so 0 breeders

but i do have some beautiful leopards

 

[Mel&Keith]

Ditto that!

LOL Again, Ditto!

The answer at this time next year is going be "less than last year"!

Right now we're in the 46+ category mainly because we cant decide on projects and holdbacks. I guess it's a good thing to have options, but it's soo hard to decide. I'd like to keep them all, but it's just not realistic.

Realistically I'd like to have a number somewhere around 30-35. Add a couple Fat Tails and eventually some Knob Tails to that list and we're climbing back up haha. I think we'll always have around 50 at any given time. It's just the right number for us. It's high yet it still feels like a hobby, and it's low enough to not become a hassle. Not that I'd ever want to call these guys a hassle, but we're human and we do have other things to do. I wish there was more time in a day, sigh.

I wish I could say that! My problem is that I just can't seem to have the heart to sell some of my breeders that don't fit into my projects anymore.

 

[ataber]

I won't be at Daytona, but where do I sign and I'll be there as an absentee participant .

My babies aren't gonna be big enough this season I'm thinking. The more I read into breeding the more I want to wait till my girls are older.

 

[Ccrashca069]

As of this writing, I have 3 proven breeders. I have 4 more I want to be breeders. 2 are aprocimately 3-5 years old and I have 2 about 5-6 months old that I am going to be breeders.

BTW, we need a new spell check. This one is broken and won't tell me how to spell it right lmao

 

[paulnj]

approximately is what spell check gave me.

 

[Ccrashca069]

you saying my spelling is to bad for even spell check? lmao too funny

 

[paulnj]

Yes I am, but believe me mine is far from perfect too

That's my problem too... I love their personality to much so I got 70 adults here a the moment and 10 of them are just pets.

We are going to build a new gecko room and we will start in a month or two. I need more space

-But I just LOVE it!

So far I have one breeder (currently not in my possession, but will be in January)... At the same show I'm picking her up at I hope to pick up a male.

My beginning limit is two. We'll see how long that lasts.
