I'm totally new to all of this, and I have a small collection of leopards I'd like to breed. I'm aware I will need to purchase some more..
I currently have:
1 female 'sunglow' tremper
1 female APTOR
1 male Blizzard

I also have a 'bubble gum' and 'lemon luecistic' - both male. I have no idea what these really are, and what to do with them.

My question is, do I have anything here? Can I breed my blizzard to either of those females and get anything but regular? I've tried useing calculators online but I'm so confused.
If i'd like to produce something 'special' with the geckos I have, does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you for your input.

One thing is for sure, if you really have a 'bubble gum' you should absolutely not breed it. They are a cross between 2 albino strains from what I understand. There's a thread about them here somewhere but I'm on my phone, I can't pull it up.

Looks like your "random albino" is a bell. He's cute! And what substrate are you using change to paper towel ASAP! Where did you get your bubble gum from? :)
Oh and the morphs what do you want to hatch from your breeders?

I'm using a zoo med sand. only for my adults. Babies are on butcher paper.
Some of those pictures are the geckos in their shed box. I'm not too concerned with impaction, just genetics :)

Actually, theres some debate with using sand. I'm not going to argue with you, but I feel like some sand can be beneficial in a geckos diet. Like a bird who eats gravel, sand can help with digestion. I do not keep babies on sand.

Hmmm this is a mess LoL

1. Bubble gum is no good as stated by others.
2. Lemon Leucistic. Looks to be an albino Murphy's patternless. We would need a picture of the eye to identify what strain of albino. Las Vegas and Tremper are the most common.
3. Bell albino. Can not be bred with anything listed there so that one is out unless you get a female bell to pair with him
4. Aptor, sounds right. This is Tremper albino, note the T in APTOR(this is an acronym)
5. Hard to tell. Definitely a Murphy Patternless, could be a MP Blizzard but unlikely. MP many times are het Las Vegas so this could be a problem for breeding, you want to avoid crossing albino strains.
6. The lighting is not that great so it could be a "sunglow" likely Tremper. Either that or its a Hypo Tangerine. Would need an eye pic to confirm albino.
