Would you go for it?

[Tanleo]

I'm thinking of breeding a female hypo tangerine carrot tail with a tremper albino. Would you do it or not?

 

[Enigmatic_Reptiles]

depends on what you wanting to get out of it. If a Sunglow project is something you are interested in then yes I would do it.

I have done it, in my case a superhypo tang with a tremper albino. I got geckos with a range of color and spotting, bred the most hypo with the best carrot tail back to the male the next season and got hybinos for about 1/3 of the albino babies.

[Tanleo]

That is so cool guys. THank you !
And fuzzy thats like the head and body of my hypo tangerine and the eyes and tail of my tremper. : D

 

[fuzzylogix]

the only leos that i have noticed vision problems is my enigmas and my blizzards. other members here with more experience might have more info on that. robin would probably be the best to ask. none of my trempers have any issues with vision. are his eyes fully open? any stuck shed or caps? might be blind.

I am doing the same thing except for with a RAPTOR x SHTCTB. I would do it, especially if it's your first time, the offspring those particular morphs seem to do well, IMO.

I have noticed that RAPTOR's seem to have eyesight problems. My Male RAPTOR, who passed away last year, was quite a poor hunter compared to my SHTCTB. I have also noticed the offspring of hi and the S?HTCTB have had some trouble seeing, I've noticed that feeding in the dark helps with accuracy, maybe there is too much light in the room when feeding? just a thought though.

Oh, and by the way Fuzzy, Great lookin' leo!

Hope I could help!

What is sunglow the trade name for? An albino hypo?

 

[Tanleo]

I have tried feeding it in the darker areas and it doesn't seem to really help but thats just me. However If I do leave mealies in the bowl he'll end up eating it during the night. But my female can see a lot better and catch crickets. His eye is always open but should I still flush it out? He could jt possibly be blind
