Gecko Morph History

Some of the new people to the hobby may find it intersting if we post some info on the history of leopard gecko morphs. (ie. who was the first to breed what and so on.) I think most know of Tremper but if some one feels so inclined, please post about him too.

edit-revised question

What are you talking about? Please include what?

A lot of it's already been discussed on this board. Just type in keywords into the Search Forum tool.

Let me see if I can give you some info..

First to breed..

Tangerines - David Nieves and Gourmet Rodent
Super Hypo Carrot Tails - Ray Hine
Jungle, Striped, Reverse Stripe - Tremper
Red Stripe - High Quality Reptiles
Blizzard - Mark Bell, Jay Vella
Blazing Blizzard - Rainwater - VMS Herp, Tremper - Jay Vella, Bell - HISS
and the Albino strains were originated by their namesakes (Rainwater - Tim Rainwater, Bell - Mark Bell, Tremper - Ron Tremper)

There's a little bit of info for you.

What about the giant,leucistic,baldies,hybinos,aptor,patternless albino and snow.
(melanistic & purple ??)

Wait, so Garrick was not the first with Rainwater blazzing?

Giant - Ron Tremper
Leucistic (better known as patternless) - Jay Vella
Baldies- (this trait goes along with the hypo carrot tail) - Ray Hine
Tremper Hybinos - Ray Hine
Bell Hybinos - HISS
Rainwater Hybinos - not sure.. I hatched one early lasy year, there may have been others before that though
Patternless - See Leucistic above
Albino - I already answered that, see my post above
Co-dom Snow - John Mack
Selectively bred snow - A1 Reptile (not 100% sure on this)

I think actually he was. Now that I am thinking about it again, I remember some controversy over him posting pictures on kingsnake of the first RW blazing. Sorry about that Garrick (if you are reading).

I remember his post.................

Maybe you should pin your post at the top of the forum so people wont have to keep asking it every few months. Its nice to see the wealth of information you and the others have on Leopard geckos and always more then willing to share your experience and information with others.
