    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

I don't have a Leo yet, but it's on my radar. I current own 2.3 cornsnakes so I have some experience owning and caring for herps and what's drawing me to Leos is the same thing that pulled me into Corns. I love the genetics and possibilities. Plus I think they are attractive animals.

Here's my question (s): I know that Tremper is Ron Tremper and the albino's (and other morphs) that attributed to his name. What about Rainwater and Las Vegas and Bells? Are these individuals that have their own Leo line? If so, are there websites of theirs that I can see their own stock, like Tremper's web site?

I also want to know about their temperament. Everything I have read seem like they are pretty mellow and tolerate handling well, like my corns. But some morphs in Corns tend to be a bit more aggressive than others. Is this also the case with Leos? And if so which morphs then to be more shy and/or aggressive than the other?

The other thing I like about Leos is that they can co-habitate. I am thinking of getting a 20 gallon long. How many could I house in there before stress affects them? I am thinking of a 1.2 pair or 0.3.

Thanks!
 
There are 3 Strains of Albino.

1 albino strain was founded by Ron Tremper.

One by Tim Rainwater = Rainwater, AKA, Las Vegas, they are the same thing

The other was founded by Mark & Kim Bell, hence Bell Albino

Not sure about websites for either of them.

Leopard geckos can be rwally tame, as long as they are held occassionally, like about 20 minutes a day.

Blizzards do tend to be a bit more aggressive,not always, but more than other morohs

1.2 will fit in a 20 Long comfortably, just make sure they all get along or else on or more will get stressed out

Hope this helps :)
