In the interest of the well-being and manageability of all nine of our extant geckos and any we hatch, we decided on just one pairing for the year. The choice was natural: our two Super Giants.
This post can also serve as the introduction for Titan, our Super Giant Carrot-Headed boy. We picked him in early October*. He comes from Anthony Adams' "Extreme Geckos"; a truly awesome gecko, in both size and coloration. He's a very even-tempered and sociable male who always brings a smile to my face. For a while it seemed like he wasn't going to be interested in breeding this time around, but he finally warmed up to Honeybell last night.
Some time soon we'll have eggs in the incubator from Honeybell and that's pretty exciting. Honeybell is 97 grams, 10" long, and Titan is 127 grams, 10" long. He's getting a bit chubby in the belly - had a little trouble reaching around to clean himself after breeding. I think maybe I need to put him on a diet to lose 10 grams or so. He doesn't have large armpit fat reserves though. Opinions? Does he look too fat?
Honeybell is het Eclipse and Titan is 50% possible het Eclipse, so it would be very cool if we were to get some SG Raptors popping out of the eggs. Fingers crossed for a male 'clipse that we can one day breed to Athena, our MSS 66% possible het Eclipse.
