The new biggest Super Giant?

[Mack Leo Boy]

I was looking at the Hamm Germany geckos on Ron Tremper site. I saw a big 122 gram Super Giant at the bottom. He is 2 years old and will reach 140 grams quickly. Is that big? Tremper says he was fed 1 inch mealies all his life. Tremper says it was from the same pairing that made "Moose". He is selling it for 2000 dollars. It is already on hold. Is that a good price or is the person buying just rich? The Super Giant is at the bottom. Here is the link.http://leopardgecko.com/Hamm3-10-07.html

Nope not the biggest, but yes that is big. People will pay more in Europe for geckos.

I think it is rediculous, he would`nt get half of that over here. Just because someone will pay more? He raises the prices? Maybe something to do w/ the high cost of international shipping? I do not know, it is a VERY high price for ANY gecko though.

To me 140 grams is a big gecko. Our Super Giant Albino male we bought from Tremper 3 years ago reached 135 grams and a female we purchased at the same time has reached 110 grams( he was 70 grams and she was 65 grams at time of purchase). He dropped to 107g coming off last years breeding and is slowly climbing back. He had also been fed 1 inch mealies up until 6 months ago when I started combining crickets when his weight was slipping during breeding activity. I personally wouldn't pay that much for a Super Giant seeing as I would be more interested in spending that money on other morphs at this time*cough* Enigma

..people pay more in europe for ron geckos...this is one reason why i'm not happy to go back home..people in europe (a ton of people, expecially in italy) are interesting only in geckos with a good marcheting and pubblicity behind..
a lot of them don't know nothing about genetic and morph and think ron have produced more morph than everybody :main_laugh: :main_laugh: (so they think he is the "man" here in USA)...
a guy...from italy...stay for some months in ron tremper facility for wotking (probably he clean the fauna boxes , not more) and now in italy is "the boss" (AND HE DON'T HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE ABOUT GECKOS)

The other super giant albinos below are just $250! Such big difference? Could that just be a typo?

It's not a typo

 

[nevinm]

what the he!! are super tangelos?!?!?! they look like "hybinos"

 

[GroovyGeckos.com]

They are "Super Tangerines" which are very much like a "Hybino/Sunglow". The Hypos used in that project are linebred, where the Hybino comes from dominant Hypos.

sounds like we people in europe are idiots!
My 3 years old male is now 116 grams (112 at the pic) and he is not even a giant! I got him for 50$!

I can't belive someone bought Rons giant for 2000$, that is just a price to tell us a lie! I think this guy got him much cheaper in reality, don't you think??

The only reason people in europe are sometimes willing to pay more is that we don't have that variety of gecko-morphs and /or quality than you have in the USA.
The majority of "european" gecko-lines don't show that quality and brightness of colours. So,as a breeder sooner or later you depend on a gecko-import.
And here comes the problem: most USA breeders don't ship to europe, so Ron tremper is one of the very few, and he is the biggest.
It seems that he think he can exploit that setting his pricing as high as he wish. Although I believe it should be difficult to sell such an expensive animal- even European breeders are no fools ^^ and personally I would never pay such a horrible price for any gecko.
Only time will tell if one day ron will go to far, and/or more US-Breeders discover the european market -I would really appreciate the last one^^..
kind greetings, rebecca

I'm from, Sweden...in Europe. And I got my breders from JMG's, Alex Hue, Steve in US and Gekkogalaksen in Denmark. No Ron, no problems and no high prices. But high quality animals any way!

...you guys are here ..and all european breeder that wright here are a different point of view...who is here serch a good quality geckos...not "the name"...but (expecially in italy) there is something that i call "trempermania"...and expecially from who don't know nothing about morph and genetic...

 

[gothra]

Well, its actually the same here in Hong Kong; the only U.S. breeders known here are Tremper and Urban Geckos.

I agree

To me 140 grams is a big gecko. Our Super Giant Albino male we bought from Tremper 3 years ago reached 135 grams and a female we purchased at the same time has reached 110 grams( he was 70 grams and she was 65 grams at time of purchase).

I just bought super giant Albino #844 het for red stripe from Ron and dropped $500.00 on him. Im hoping he'll be as big as yours. It was pricey you're right but I bought him for the sole purpose of breeding him to the enigma female I will receiving soon. A super giant red eye enigma!!!! Oh yeah!! In a few years I guess.
