Tang question

[RepGurl]

I went to a small Rep Expo in St. Louis today and noticed something. There were VERY few leos there in the first place and I would say that 80% of them were hypo tangs. About a month ago I went to a small Rep show in Kansas City and noticed the same thing. And just now when I was looking through the classifieds on here and another site there are so many more tang hypo and other tang geckos then any other morph. Is everyone breeding tangs? Are they just not selling, or are we just producing so many we cant place them all? Anyone have any ideas on this? I am trying to figure out what morphs I want to focus on, and I love the tang geckos but I am afraid I wont be able to sell them now. If you guys could start over and focus on just one or two morphs what would they be? Which morphs are you guys really attracted to?

I'm finding that more and more geckos have reduced spotting and that many reduced spotted geckos get called tangs even if they are just marginally tangs. The ones that are really deep orange or red are striking and expensive. The rest are often muddy yellow/orange/brownish and that's what I think you see a lot of. I get a certain number of these as by-products of some of my other projects. For instance, when I breed my SHTCT het for albino to my albino male to get hybinos, some of them are hypo or superhypo tangs. I actually don't mind these because I can sell them for $25 and they are very affordable for new gecko owners. My Mack snows, unfortunately, produced a bunch of geckos that came out looking like hypotangs and I don't really feel I can sell them for Mack snow prices even though they are.

I have been enjoying producing this season: super snows, patternless redstripes, other stripes and jungles. My banded albino male seems to have jungle genes in him somewhere because he produced several jungles when paired with my SHTCT who is also his daughter. Next year he will be paired with a superhypo Mack snow, an albino PRS and a redstripe. That should be fun.

Its is because Tangs are on of the most popular morphs out there and to me when you get a nice one is one of the best looking morphs.
