OK I AM CONFUSED

[thekooliest]

Should I get a Tremper Albino for $80 shipped
http://www.rep-tails.com/avail_talbino_pg2.htm top right
or a Bell Albino for $50 (I would pick it up)
http://www.luxuriousleopards.com/availleos.html the only Bell Albino there.
I know Tremper is probably a better deal. But I don't need great quality, she might be used for breeding in the next year or two...but this is my first gecko so I mostly want cheap before quality.

Thanks, Sam

Anyone wanna help?

Well, if you want cheap, wouldn't the bell be the better choice for you? $30 cheaper, eh? My personal choice would be the Tremper, though.

 

[puppiesandkitties]

I would say bell albino, because that jungle snow bell albino is so beautiful and unique.

Besides that, I would still say bell, because I see trempers more often. They are always on sell where I live, plus the bell albinos, they have different looks and colors. Trempers do too, but bells are more unique, in my opinion.

Just make sure you did your research on the breeder and make sure the animal is healthy.

Ya I also got news of a regenerated tail on the Bell. So I am leaning towards the Tremper.

Just asked both, Tremper is perfect, Bell is perfect minus the regen tail I learned about.
I loved the jungle snow, but he was sold.
So sad xD
I also thought the Bell Albino had a kinda cool neck. Almost like the start of a vest.

They are all nice looking leos. I noticed that the bell is a male, while the trempers are almost all females. I would say, if you can't decide between the morphs, then pick which gender you would rather have first.

Don't let price completely dictate your choice, if you prefer one over the other then go with that one because afterall, it may have a lifespan of 20 years. :main_thumbsup:

Ya I think female would be best case, because next year I think I am going to decide to get more as pets, or more for breeding.
And I need a male and a female to breed (duh), but if I want them as pets, I would need 2 females (because of the male/male problem...and I dont wanna buy another cage if I don't need to).
And a female would work in both cases...not a male.
Thanks for the input, Sam

i'd go with the tremper. but also i'd keep looking lol depending on what you want i've seen some pretty cool looking leos for that price as well. like blizzards, mack snows, and other albinos

 

[hondawingsfly]

id go with the bell its close enough so you dont need to ship, also cheap, and you can look at the gecko before actually paying for it

 

[Starwild]

I would get the Tremper because they have a deal on now that if you buy one you get the second half price. That would be $80 for two geckos, plus shipping. That's a steal for such nice geckos, and it could be a start for your breeding program if you decide to get into it. I have a bell albino myself but I like the Trempers too.

That's exactly what has almost changed my mind (nice eye).
I don't really want two Trempers though. But I am in luck because for the rest of his geckos he has 25% off. So if I bought two, thats is 25 and 25 which is 50. So the same deal as buy one get one half off.
So I am getting a beautiful Tangerine, and that Tremper for $110 shipped.
I will triple check my possibilities over the weekend.

I've never heard of Rep-Tails in FL before. They have great prices, lots of males, and they sell them young!
Maybe I will buy my male from them! Dont worry, I'm not interested in the same ones you are!
Thanks for the link btw. I would never have known they existed!!

 

[thekooliest]

Ya.
Neither eye, great prices plus the august sale.
And he has been doing tremper albinos for years and they keep getting better.
Plus he knows everything about all 200 of his geckos, which is nice.

OK, now I have a question about the second gecko I will get.
Is the main difference between a SHCT and a Tangerine, that the SHCT doesn't have spots and gets a carrot tail?

I believe thats correct. Though they may have a few spots on their
head (not real black spots though).
If I'm wrong about this, someone please correct me

 

[thekooliest]

Ya I think spots on their head.
But sometimes I don't like spots, so I might go for a SHCT...
In a year I am probably going to breed.
What would I breed with a Tremper Albino or a SHCT, to get something nice.
Thanks for everyones input, Sam

 

[thekooliest]

and I already have a Dubia colony of 50 mixed or so, and I don't wanna run out, so should I buy 100 mixed adults/nymphs for 45, or buy mealies for a couple months.

if you would suggest buying dubias, what kind, large, medium, small (adults are sold out), mixed nymphs, or mixed nymphs and adults?

Sorry for all of the questions/going of topic.

 

[Morph]

SHCT = leopard gecko with NO back spots and yes will have a CT. if you bred that with the tremper youd get some Sunglows down the line

 

[thekooliest]

Well I wasn't thinking directly breeding them, they would both be males...but what would I buy (a male) to make a good combo.
