what morph should i get?

[adam&nikki]

i really hate morph calculators i cant ever get them right lol


next month im going the missisauga expo and what morph i should get as of right now i only have 1 male raptor and 4 females (mac snow,tangerine tornadoe, sunglow,and a phantom). Im looking for a new male and also some more females i was thinking of an enigma, and yes i know of the syndrome and some concerns on them but i think they are a great looking gecko.with that being said what others could i look at getting.

plez feel free to put any suggestions that you guys come up with thanks for your time

Hey Nikki,
I would look at the mutations that you have now and look forward to what you'd like to produce in the future.
First off, given that I know all of your albinos are of the Tremper strain, I'd stay away from all other albino strains, just to make life easier on yourself in the first couple of breeding seasons. My advice, stick with what you've got, Tremper.

With that said, you've currently got;

Male- RAPTOR

Females-Mack Snow
Phantom
Sunglow
Tornado

As of right now all offspring will be 100% het RAPTOR, some will be Albinos, Snows, Albino Snows, different Tangerines.
I would go with a RAPTOR or het RAPTOR female for your male, so that you'll be producing RAPTOR's right away, as well as another male for either your Sunglow or Tornado female, and if you're looking Enigma, I'd be looking for one with great Tangerine colour, better yet an Albino Enigma, the more Tangerine the better, het RAPTOR would be ideal, because that way not only should you produce some Tang Albino Enigmas and het/poss.hets, but the next year you could use a holdback from this season, say like a Mack Snow het RAPTOR female to your Tang het RAPTOR Enigma male,...
Just some ideas, ultimately look a couple of years ahead to what you'd like to be producing and work backwards from there.

thanks dave

you alwyas have something interesting to say lol

i was thinkning enigma for 2 reasons. reason 1 they are a nice looing animal and reason 2 tthey are the last peice of the puzzle for dreamsicles since im a few years away from breeding them but thanks for the input

thanks dave

....the last peice of the puzzle for dreamsicles since im a few years away from breeding them but thanks for the input

Right,..an Enigma het RAPTOR for instance, when bred to a Mack het RAPTOR could produce Dreamsicles. You should be able to pick up both in Mississauga, who knows, you could be producing Dreamsicles in a few months with a little luck!

You are definately right that you would need alot of luck trying to produce a dreamsickle by breeding het to het. Your best bet if thats is what you want to produce would be Mack Raptor to Nova or even Mack Raptor to Enigma het Raptor. The more hets you work with the greater the odds you are working against. What you need to look at is whether or not you want to take the longer way around or increase your odds a little.
If you think about it you are going to get 6-10 eggs approx. Working het to het you will have a chance to get:
Normals
Mack Snows
Eclipse
Enigmas
Trempers
Raptors
Mack Trempers
Mack Raptors
Bee
Black hole
Mack Tremper Enigma
Dreamsickle
Nova
Tremper Enigma
Mack Enigma

I probably left one or two out.....so now you need to think whether or not you want huge odds or to stack to odds in your favor to get what you really want?
I would look at a few morphs that you really like and add a few quality morphs that will get you there, and make some other really neat animals in the process.

 

[adam&nikki]

well ill be stopping by your booth while im there we always like talking you and your husband and we will probly get a gecko or 2 from you guys aswell

 

[adam&nikki]

Normals
Mack Snows
Eclipse
Enigmas
Trempers
Raptors
Mack Trempers
Mack Raptors
Bee
Black hole
Mack Tremper Enigma
Dreamsickle
Nova
Tremper Enigma
Mack Enigma


this list that you gave that could all come from what pairing? this is where i get confused again i know the dreamsicles can make a ton of diffrent morphs or is what i could get from trying to get my dreamsicles?

 

[gixxer3420]

Ild still go with any type of bell albino. I breed all three types of albinos and I have yet to get any of them confused or mixed up. Just my opinion but really any new gecko is a great choice.

All of those morphs would be a "by-product" of trying to make a Dreamsickle, depending on what morphs you choose to use to make them.

Gixxer: I also have all three albinos and I love working with them as well!!
