Totally new to this..help me please!

I don't want to argue w/ you either but is it calcium sand. I would def. research the effects on your geckos like most people on this forum would agree with me. If you decide not to switch you may end up with vet bills and potentially your geckos death or a gecko that never has any problems. Its a HUGE risk you can take but my first gecko died and she was on sand.

I would say get a nice Raptor or a male with Tremper in him.

The Albino MP is nice. If we can ID the albino strain you could get females to pair with him.
and/or the Bell male as well. Depends on what you like/want to make

 

[PhoenixCoconut]

I'm pretty sure he's a bell a SHTCTB het bell would be cool you could make Bell sunglows after pairing the hatchlings. Or a blizzard for BBB hets. COOL! Or an eclipse to make radar hets. Or...... and so on there are so many exciting morphs you can pick from!

It's not calcium sand. I know what I'm doing regarding husbandry.

Okay, this is very helpful.
So if I get a raptor, what exactly would I pair it to.
Again, very new at genetics lol

Ok I'm not trying to make you feel bad but MANY people use calcium sand and i'm glad you are not one of them! (they will eat the calci sand thinking its calcium, that almost ALWAYS leads to impaction.) Some people just see a cute little leo and do whatever the petstore says. oh and on that post about sand I'm sorry it sounded rude.

Oh I know, I worked at a vet clinic for a few years - I have witness some very sad things (some cat related).

All my geckos have a little dish of calcium to lick up, and I dont use a calcium sand.

 

[PhoenixCoconut]

Good! I'm sooo sorry I questioned your husbandry!

 

[KelliH]

Let's get back on topic please.
This thread is about identifying morphs, not sand.

Thanks!

 

[PhoenixCoconut]

Ok, sorry Kelli!

1.0 RAPTOR you can cross to both your females
0.1 Aptor
0.1 Tremper Sunglow

This is an excellent site for info on Leopard geckos and Morphs. You can read about RAPTORs here: http://www.leopardgeckowiki.com/index.php?title=RAPTOR

Many times APTORs are het RAPTOR. People also like Sunglow RAPTORs...

 

[PhoenixCoconut]

Ya I like sunglow raptors! I think that would be a good way to go!

 

[katie_]

So how would I make a sunglow RAPTOR?
By purchasing a male RAPTOR and crossing it with my Sunglow?

A calculator told me that crossing my Blizzard with my Sunglow would give me Mack Snow and Hypo. Is this true..?

Breeding the two together and then breed the offspring I believe.

LOL No...
Also I dont think you have a blizzard. Your "Blizzard" has the white spots that Murphy Patternless have... its definitely a MP.

Try this one http://www.lovegeckos.com/Genetics.aspx

 

[PhoenixCoconut]

Yes the sunglow RAPTORs would be made by crossing those and then crossing the offspring. And IDK what that pairing would give you sorry.
But heres a good calculator.

I'm planning on going to a reptile expo near where I live in Feb where Urban Reptile will be there. Ive bought my sunglow from them for a very good price and want to buy some more geckos from there.

So I'll get a male RAPTOR.
What types of females should I get? Maybe some more females...I'm running out of space for these fiesty males.

Is a Murphy Patternless better? My 'blizzard' was 30 dollars.

 

[PhoenixCoconut]

Um for the raptor male....hmmmm a super snow(for super raptors after breeding the offspring).... blazing blizzard(for Diablo blancos after breeding the offspring)?

 

[katie_]

Geez theres a lot to learn.

 

[PhoenixCoconut]

Ya there is it took me a while like 6months of NON-STOP researching lol
