Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Leopard Geckos Genetics
Being new to leos I have yet to learn all the genetic lingo the breeders use. Can anyone here possibly post a list of what the genetic initials stand for???
I am sure it would be of great help to anyone, who like me, has yet to learn what they all stand for.

Somehow I overlooked this thread and apologize that it didn't get any postings. There are lots of Leo people out there that can help out. I have often wondered the same thing. Can someone shed some light on your secret language?

Are you referring to SHTCT, etc?
SHTCT = Super Hypo Tangerine Carrottail
Which of course can be split into simply Super Hypo, Tangerine or Carrottail. 
Could you elaborate on what you're referring to to better answer you?

Here is my basic rundown on it:
HY = High Yellow
HHY = Hypo Hi yello
S = Super
H = Hypo
T = Tangeringe
CT = Carrot tail
B= baldy
TA = Temper Albino
M = Mack
RW = Rainwater ---- LV = Las Vegas
A = Albino
P = Patternless
PA = Patternless Albino
S = Snow
SS = Super Snow
G= Giant
J = Jungle
Ch = Carrot Head
So a SHTCHCTB = Super hypo Tangerine Carrot head Carrot tail baldy
MS = Mack Snow
MSSRWPA = Mack Super Snow Rainwater patternless albino
etc etc
