    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....

whos in line for a raptor

I put my name on the list today. Should I get a male or a female. I have 2 female giants and 1 male super giant. If I get a female giant raptor I can breed it to my super and get super giant raptors. If I get a male Ill get more eggs but no supergiant and Ive wasted my male.

James, since this is posted the Photo Gallery, you may want to re-post it in the Leopard Geckos Discussion Forum where you would have a better likelihood of responses. Just a suggestion...

isnt the red eyed gene trait a recessive so breeding a female raptor to a male super giant will get you some giants het for red eyes? and if it indeed is a super in the true form you would get all giants... are the raptors a giant too?

I would think they would be, I don't think Ron would produce the APTORS with a Giant and not the RAPTORS... but then again, who knows!
 
If you get an APTOR and breed it to an albino they won't be aptors, the "patternless" gene in them is "recessive".
 
also my supergiant male has the redest eyes I have ever seen, like a albino rabbit, I would imagine he has the same eyes as the raptor
 
$250 more for a eye color????
I think Ill pass, I think they look demonic with solid red eyes. Aptor's on the other hand seem more appealing IMO.

well if you look at it that way . it is currently $ 1000 more for the other co-dom eye -trait in "Super Snow " as opposed to the "snow" form
 
oh

last ron told me about the eye-color , it was likely "co-dominant" ,and "he was doing more test breeding" so i personally want to be buying a male
 
also

the RAPTOR that are for sale just hatched recently so i was told . so be prepared to raise one up a bit first
 
yeah but the co-dom snow is proven to be a geniune snow.
Personally, I would purchase a mack snow over a regular snow simply because its guaranteed to produce solid white geckos. It is more of a pattern then just eye-color when comparing snows to Mack snows. Plus the Mack snows have stripes. Most snows I have seen in person are never as white as the Mack snows, Then again, I have never seen a Mack snow in person so I may just be talking out of my .......
We'll see with time.
 
Gotta love Trempers marketing..... people lining up to pay a premium for unproven traits.

Sorry if I have no love for Tremper, I finally decided last year that it would be benefitial to have a Giant in my collection. Tremper sent me one with an eye and tail deformity.
 
Don't you hate that when you post and are replying to one that is no longer the last post!
Anyways, now that I am caught up...

Were the deformities obvious? was it a scratch and dent sale?
