What are my geckos?

[shedevilx15]

I was told the male Icarus is a Mack Snow and I think someone said the female was tangerine or possibly a hypo-tangerine? Some dark orange in her tail, but I don't think its enough to be a carrot tail?.

Icarus arches up like a cat and hisses sometimes when he's scared, but he's getting much better.

Any thoughts? I am very confused about the different patterns, etc.

Cute little leos. The one on the left looks like a tangerine/high yellow and the one on the right looks like a mack snow, or a light colored normal.

Definitely a Hypo Tangerine, he's way too orange to be a High Yellow.
Your other guy I'm not sure.

I would say Hypo Tangerine Carrot Tail and Mack Snow. We have a mack snow that looks similiar to this. You can check her out in our album page under "Daenerys" http://www.facebook.com/Delaneysgecko

Hope this helps.

Remember to quarantine new geckos in a seperate enclosure for 90 days

Breeding my two? Yes but I want to get a Mack snow female to breed Icarus to, and a tangerine male to breed phamine to. I may let these two produce some eggs but I want to aim for some super snows and some bright tangerine carrot tails eventually.

Yes definitely great advice. Any new gecko will have its own setup far away from the others before playing or breeding with the ones I already have.

Well u said you dont want to breed them, so why are u housing them together? Leos breed SUPER easily...

 

[shedevilx15]

I don't mind these guys breeding, my future plans are to get others to breed them to. I have all the supplies needed to incubate, etc.

 

[K.C.]

Oh okay, good job on being prepared and everything

 

[shedevilx15]

Thanks, I got everything way ahead if time because I was paranoid she would lay eggs and they would die. I'm still doing a lot of research and trying to learn as much as I can, but who would have thought there was so much to learn?!

Just make sure they're both over 50g before housing them together. If the female is not she may start breeding and hurt herself.

Cute guys! Good luck with them!

Its not really advisable to breed geckos of unknown genetics.
I know youre new and it may sound patronizing to hear all this info, but we dont want you to make any mistakes
