Totally new to this..help me please!

I would not say one is better than the other. I would say blizzards are more popular than MPs right now.
It is partly due to the popularity of the Diablo Blanco (a combination morph that includes blizzard) and the "Sunset/Sunrise" Blizzard morph which is a line bred Blizzard morph with limited availability (talking $$$$).

I would say there are some really pretty MPs out there though. Marcia has really pretty MPs: http://www.goldengategeckos.com/availableleopard.html
MP Snows are pretty as well. And there is supposed to be a "Sunset/Sunrise" MP which has not debuted yet so who knows how awesome that will be.

Thank you for your help guys! I deff need to expand this little pathetic collection.
I currently can order leopard geckos through my place of work. This is the list I was given:

LEOPARD GECKOS
Albino (new blood line
Blizzard
Bubble Gum (Albino
Calico
Hypo Tail Stripe
Jungle
Lemon Leucistic
Leucistic
Pastel (Albino
Striped
Tangerine
Tangerine Tornado

Any thoughts? Worth my time?

 

[RampantReptiles]

dont order pet store/whole sale geckos. By from a breeder that knows the genetics of what your buying.

 

[PhoenixCoconut]

What the new albino bloodline? and whats a calico?

 

[katie_]

Yeah my friend has a RAPTOR female and a blizzard male hes planning on making diablo's with. I'm jealous he can do something with his leopards.

What the new albino bloodline?

I read on here that its a tremper and a bell bred back and forth. Lots of angry posts.

 

[PhoenixCoconut]

Thats a big no no! Its just another bubblegum!

So there's actually a person out there who intentionally breeds these BubbleGum things? I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

ANYWAYS...
I do agree with the idea of working with the APTOR and introducing a RAPTOR. I have enjoyed working with RAPTORS for 2 years now.

+1 to everyone else!! Raptors are awesome and I will be trying to start my own little project with them this season lol Go for the Tangerine tornado if it isnt too pricey (big tangerine fan) Blizzard to the sunglow would be really nice also
Im not trying to be mean here so dont get me wrong......but I really dont think you should breed any of them for a while. You dont know half of the morphs and genetics. For example I have never heard of someone calling a Murphys Patternless a "lemon Leuistic" and the bubble gum should have been a bad sign right off the bat.

You also said it requires a lot of space for your males but it will take almost 10x the space for the hatchlings of everything you want to breed. Research research research!! If you are that intent on breeding only breed a pair or two this season to see if you will be able to keep up and manage all the feisty hachlings and all their care.

Another thing you asked if you would get anything "special" dont aim for special and what other people like, go for what you like! Its about the love of the geckos not for money or for what someone else wants. If everyone breeds for money there would be a whole bunch of the same morphs on the market instead of the diversity we have now.

I applaud you for coming here and asking what to breed and what you will get first instead of just throwing them together but please just do some more research and learn the genetics and morphs before you breed them. :main_thumbsup:

I plan on breeding them this 2012. I came on this forum for genetic info on leopards, I understand the breeding aspect itself. I have already successfully bred my cresties, and their genetic morphs are a little easier to understand.
I bought my 'lemon lucistic' from a breeder at an expo. Thats what I was told it was. It doesnt look like any mp I've ever seen. It was bright yellow as a hatchling.
Also my boyfriend owns his own aqurium store, with a small reptile section. I want to be able to breed more than one type of morph so we can have variety if we ever decide to sell some.

I really like my bubblegum. They may not be a great idea for breeders, but if youve ever seen one, you'll understand why they make a popular pet choice.
