    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....

You've Got to see these geckos!!!!

Just got these Leos in today. And all I have to say is WOW!!!! These have to be THE best Geckos I have ever gotten!

Unfortunately these pictures didn't come out as well as I hoped, I will take new ones another day, just wanted to snap a few really quick. These pictures are pretty washed out.

First ones are from Kelli (P.S., Kelli you were right, my jaw hit the ground! :slamit: )

First is my New Absolute Favorite Gecko, Here she is, my New Female Het RAPTOR

My New Second favorite is now the Male Patternless Red Stripe (Can you say Carrot Tail????)

Next is a Female 100% Het RAPTOR, I have named her Spaz, because she is a FREAK! I am definitely gonna have to keep a good eye on this one, she is very sneaky and quick!!!

And last from Kelli is a Gorgeous Tangerine Bell Het for Stripe, I am going to breed this girl to the Male Patternless Red Stripe above :hehe:

And, Last but certainly not least, My New Gem Snow from Paul Allen, can't wait for this little beauty to grow so I can breed her to my Male Mack Snow :)

That is actually a "Gem Snow" from reptilian Gems, nobody is sure of the genetics yet, still waiting to prove them out.
 
Jeanne, they are all very cool!! I like where you are going with the Bell x Patternless stripe. Nice!!
 
Awesome Jeanne.... Its like X-Mass in May.... LOL

I have a question.... When you breed your Mack to the Gem, how will you know which baby will be co-dom or not if the the Gems are infact not the same genetically as the Macks??? Being that Mack co-dom hatchlings and Gem hatchlings look pretty much exactly alike, I would figure there would be a bit of confusion as far as the exact genetics go....
Just my random thought process....LOL
 
Hey Jeanne, you know what...I'm able to read the patternless red stripes mind, and he's saying he'd like to move to PA...in the York area...with some people by the name of Ryan and Val :D

Seriously though, awesome choices. They're all amazing. What a great day it must have been opening those boxes.
 
WOW - what an awesome day!!!! :slamit: They're all gorgeous!

Gregg, I was thinking the same thing while reading about the Gem snows. We'll know the two are different if no super snows are produced, but then .... which of the snows are Macks and which are Gems?? I am really excited to find out the results, though! And if anyone has any offspring from those crosses with questionable genetics, they can send them to me for test crossing! :dgrin:
 
Well, you can take a cross, hope it's het for both mack and gem, and temp sex for male. Then, take said male and breed to a know het Mack female and known het Gem female...and see what pops up. This is getting worse than crossing albinos!

Personally, I think a lot more will be known once we see the super...the above may be unnessecary speculation. If Gem supers look like Mack supers, I find it EXTREAMLY doubtful that they would still be different traits. If they do look different, then there may be a big SNAFU in the future!

Yeah but that is too much guess work and there would be absolutely no way to know if it is or is not "het" for both....

And if I am not mistaken there have been Gem snow X Gem snow crosses with no super form resulting.....

Don't get me wrong, the idea of crossing the two is all good and will be interesting and it will clear up the debate of the Gems being the same as the Macks but it will still be very confusing and there will no way to tell which hatchlings are Gems and which are Macks.....
 
Here are some new pics I took last night.

Thank you all for the nice comments.

Me Too Jeremy, will take a few years, but well worth it :)

Good point Gregg, I like your thought process...LOL

Luckily for me, I found out someone else is about a week away from hatching out their first eggs from Gem x Mack, so I probably won't have to cross them :scatter:

A+ For effort...LOL

That PRS is awesome! Is that one she had on Kingsnake?

Yep, Same one
