    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Contest come try it!!!!

it sounds great!..But why don't you also have a category for folks who don't breed or have not been very lucky when it comes to breeding...


That way, you will have more folks participating!

I mean, I myself have some awesome Leos, but I did not breed them..

Just a suggestion
 
what are the prizes or awards? After the entry period is over and you have all the pics posted couldnt you post a poll and let everyone vote that way so everyone can watch and see who is winning and such. The voters names can be hidden as well so nobady gets mad at eh othr.

I totally agree Nicolai! It should be posted as a pole so everyone can vote. And also, so everyone can vote on one morph of leo at a time.
 
Ok, sounds fun! Here's my little Rainwater I hatched on Mothers day. Her name is "Pinky". She's 61 grams.

Polls and contests like this are great, problem is that most people vote on the best picture (cutest, best pose, etc) not on the gecko itself.
 
And since they are not morphs (just yet) what about Hets? (Het Albino, Het APTOR/RAPTOR,Het Blazing, etc. etc.)
 
Not picking on you, sorry :)

But is there now Jungles, Stripes etc. in the list? Because then it can get 'hairy' ( um...scaly lol) w/ all the variations in those. Stripe, BOLD Stripe, Red Stripe, Rainbow, Jungle BOLD Jungle, Albino Stripe/Jungle, Reverse Stripes. Sure there is more! See what im getting at yet? :)
 
Because with breedings such as APTOR to albino breedings it shows all dominant traits and co-dom traits just not the one trait that sets them apart from others: the patternless trait.
 
A Co Dom Snow (for example) is the "het" for Dominant Super Snow. So a Co Dom Snow would be the "het."

A het Albino however, is not Co Dominant, thus does not express that it is het Albino.
