hey guys and girls, i want to start breeding my leo is a female its about 4-5 years old, it weighs about 42 grams which seems kinda small but she looks healthy. she is a high yellow ( u can see the pic below). Now can someone give me some tips or point me to a good site for learning about breeding leos. i read one before and it doesnt seem to hard. also anyone know where i can buy a decent good priced incubator from, im in florida, if that makes any difference. also what would be a good morph to breed with a high yellow? i love the hypo tangerines but i wanna see what you guys think i should use for the male i want something different. well thanks for the help in advance

kinda blurry but oh well im no photographer

A few things before you start! Most breeders breed there leo's between the ages of 1-5yrs. so your girl is getting a little old to start stressing her out with a young male. But if you realy feel you want to Tangerine is a good plan. Hi yellow hypo tangs. and supers are a line trait not a morph. Breeding any morph to her would only produce het. normals anyway. If you realy want to breed I would sugest keeping this sweet girl as a pet and buying a pair of sub adults that are the same age. and let them grow together.

ok do you think i could get some in for this season or you think i would have to wait for next season? yeah line trait is what i meant but i was just referring to the diff colors as morphs, but i will know what to say now lol. also i want to produce some really cool looking leos, i know for one i want a hypo tang but what others should i think about ?? thanks for your help and i wont be using this one as a breeder

this is a gecko that i would love to have and breed but the site he got it from does not work which is herps r us

also my gecko in the last few months has been very active at nights like digging in the sand and trying to climb the walls etc. what does that mean

Get the leopard gecko manual! All your questions will be answered in there! It will also explain how to MAKE an incubator. I bred 8 of the little b*****ds that way, they kicked but, not one hickup!

yeah that one worked, for some reason the other one when i was on my computer which is far better than this one at work said it was temporarily down for non technical reasons, oh well. what does shtcb mean i know it is super hypo tang but what is the cb.. captive bred?

bLiNkiE · 04-13-05, 10:52 AM

whats up with his website, theres no pics or prices or anything... ?
and if you dont mind me asking how much did you have to fork out for that one and how old is it ?? thanks

honduranfreekk · 04-13-05, 11:14 AM

I think he will be updating it soon.SHTCB means Super Hypo Tangerine Carot Tail Baldy.

bLiNkIe I got this male at a year old.It was one of Mikes hold backs.We did some loans and trades.What he sells them for I,m not really sure but I have seen them sell for $1,200 on Urban Geckos web site and this one is also 100% pure Urban blood

I believe Mike has some KILLER Leos availible now or very soon.
