Ok this is my opinion..being that I have owned leos for 3 months only and do eventually plan to be a breeder after all my research and what not are completed and I feel I am ready to take that leap. Now being that with genetics I am pretty much in the dark and am finding a lot of it hard to understand as of yet, If I were to go to a site selling a gecko het for Mack I would know the dif but with Enigma idk if I would have had I not done so much research. It could def alter some newbies or inexperienced into buying something they are not sure of. But then again why would someone buy something they weren't sure of if they are serious about what they wanted to breed. I have 4 petstore leos right now. That is how I got so interested. VERY shortly will be getting a Mack Snow pair and a Bell albino pair. I do know I want to get these from a well known breeder that knows what they are talking about and that I feel will be honest with me and totally up front.
To label them as siblings and up prices because of that is wrong. Labeling as siblings is fine but changes nothing in the long run of them being "normal". But I DO agree with labeling the gens of the parents. That would be a goodidea in all sales as far as I am concerned. I have been to some sites that do this and others that do not. To tell you the truth I am more likely to look at the ones labled because at least you have a better idea of the gens and not just someones word for it. And I believe a new owner wanting to increase their leo count may be more likely to buy one from someone that has their sire and dams labled. When i start breeding I will be doin just that. Hope I made sense LOL
