Torn between three new geckos

[Jaiden23]

My boyfriend is looking into purchasing a leopard gecko from a local breeder. There are three that he is torn between however, and I am curious to see what your opinions are

#1.

Juvenile Tremper Albino Leopard Gecko.Hatched - 01/22/08 Het Aptor Possible, Het Raptor. Temp Sexed for female. Currently weighs 18g

#2.

Juvenile Tremper Albino Leopard Gecko. Hatched - 01/03/08 Possible Het Raptor. Temp Sexed for female. Currently weighs 24g

#3.

Juvenile Tremper Albino Leopard Gecko. Hatched - 01/02/08. Possible Het Raptor. Temp Sexed for female. Currently weighs 25g

They all look great, so definitely number one since it is a definite het for aptor and possible het for raptor

Although I really like number 3 :main_yes:

 

[brad.a.c]

I like #3 too. :main_yes:

 

[Morph]

if number one is het aptor then i'd go with that. three is quite the looker right now though lol

 

[puppiesandkitties]

Since #1 is possibly het for aptor and is het for raptor, and not the others, choose that one.

Thank you everyone!

The only reason I was a bit hesitant about #1 is because she seems much smaller than the other two, although there are about 20 days difference between their hatchings so I suppose that could be a part of it lol.

I love #3's pattern, she's such a doll, but we do hope to breed them eventually so #1 is the logical choice.

If it were up to me, he'd buy all of them! :main_laugh:

 

[puppiesandkitties]

I would buy all three too. Leos are so hard to choose. You see them and want them all, and can't imagine them with another owner. Then if you don't buy them, especially one you wanted, you would think about it for a few days.

 

[Jaiden23]

Well, just when I thought we had decided on which one to get... the breeder offered us yet another beautiful gecko to choose from

#4.

Juvenile Jungle Tremper Albino Leopard Gecko. Hatched - 02/02/08 Het Aptor, Possible Het Raptor. Temp Sexed for female. Currently weighs 17g

 

[LeapinLizards]

Ohhh I thought I'd chosen but now you threw the 4th choice into the mixture. She's a beauty!

I would pick #4. But when I pick leopards for breeding I look at the patterns. I look at what I have then look at what is available and then pick. Do you have a male already because those are all females.

 

[fallen_angel]

number 4 with the jungle pattern will definitely give you some nice interesting babies with a wide variety in patterns

Yes, I do have a male. He's nothing overly special, so I'm not expecting any amazing offspring from him. He is a barred hi-yellow. I can already feel the beginning of an addiction, so I'm sure I'll end up with another male in the near future. :main_laugh:

 

[Ccrashca069]

ok go with #4 and enjoy all the differant patterns you will get

Leopard geckos are very addicting. I started with 2 and I now have around 40 lmao

 

[barbiegirl]

I love #4's patterns. :main_yes:

 

[Morph]

yeah gotta change it to #4 now lol its also het aptor so

 

[Jaiden23]

Thanks everyone! He did decide to go with the jungle (#4), they're just working out some details on warranty and payment and then she's coming home! I'm excited haha

 

[gage]

number 4 defiently

 

[Ccrashca069]

Thats awesome. Post pics when you can after you get her home.

 

[Kristi23]

Nice choice! I look forward to pics after you get her.

I love stripes (all 3 of mine are some sort of stripe) so I'd say go with the Jungle. She's a real beauty.
