Possible new buys

Alright I am looking to purchase this male...

Reverse stripe albino 100% het raptor male. WEIGHT: 18 grams. HATCH DATE: 3/1/07. He has a really nice bold reverse stripe!
From JMG. I was curioius what he would produce if bred to a shtct and a super hypo. I don't know what their parents are. Could find out on the one but will never know about the other. And I was looking to get another female. What would be best paired with him for possibly raptors? Or maybe some sort of albino.

And I am looking to purchase this female...

Hypo Co-Dominant snow ( Ghost ) female with kinked tail. WEIGHT: 17 grams. HATCH DATE: 3/20/07. Has a little kink in her tail but she will make a great pet.
Also from JMG. I am going to breed her to the above male. What will him and her produce possibly? And what would I have to breed her to to get a snow?

Very nice - Good luck on the project

Is the kink the reason the end of the tail is a little curved at the tip?

 

[LeopardGeckoMom52688]

Yes

What will him and her produce possibly? And what would I have to breed her to to get a snow?

Statistically you should get:

- 25% Mack Snow
- 25% Mack Snow Ghost
- 25% Normal
- 25% Ghost

All of them would be het for Tremper Albino.

That Mack Snow Super Hypo w/ a kink tail may just give you het Albino/ het kink-tailed Leos. I have not seen any kinking in Mack Snows, since they were outcrossed. So a kink tailed SH Mack might be a bad choice, if you are planning to breed with her. It could mean there has been some inbreeding going on. If it were me, I would choose a different gecko, maybe even breeder, just in case.

I just am not happy with the possibility of hatching kink tailed Leopards, I guess.:main_thumbsup:

 

[LeopardGeckoMom52688]

He said she has never been inbred. So I am going to see!

Ok well it was just a possibility anyways. I think alot of breeders fear that it may be genetic, therefor choose not to use kinked-taileds. That is up to each person to decide, though.

 

[Leopardbreeder]

Not breeding her would definitely be a very good idea. Think about you breed her the outcome is 3 kinked tails. Those 4 kinked (offspring with mother) are bred again, assuming the all of them have 3 more offspring with kinked, thats 12 offspring with kinked tails in 2 breeding seasons.

I did purchase both of these. The kink in the tail is something I am worth taking a chance with. I never thought it was a big deal and my male that fathers both ofmy babies has a kink in his tail and out of three babies none of them had a kink in their tail! They will be here wed. I can't wait. I am going to be up at 7 am paseing my house. I can't wait that long. LOL
