I have decided to bring my blog from blogger to my goReptiles website. I will be leaving all the information up on this blog, but have since copied all info and entries on my website.

More Leopard Gecko Eggs

Scratch that... I'm now just expecting crested gecko eggs within a week or so.

One of my other SHTCTB's laid 1 egg. She laid the other egg in her tub last week. It didn't make it. But this one looks promising.

Leopard Gecko Eggs

My best SHTCTB laid another clutch of 2 eggs. For whatever reason, she laid them in the tub, not the lay box. Both look good, but moved a bit when I opened the box to unexpectedly find them sitting right there.

I have them in Hatch-Rite. I'm hoping they make it through.

Within the next week and a half, I should have another 2 leopard geckos laying and both crested geckos should lay again.

I'm still expected eggs from 2 Blazing Blizzard x Blazing Blizzard, 1 normal x SHTCTB, 1 SHTCTB X SHTCTB, 1 Bell x Mack het Bell, and 1 Mack het Bell x Mack het Bell, pairings.

Please keep in touch for this season's hatchlings. If you are interested in anything in particular, shoot me an email, and I can put you on the waiting list.

Try whitney@goreptiles.com first, and if you don't hear back from me within 2 days, email me at goreptiles@gmail.com. I occassionally have problems with the first email address, but always check them both equally.

Crested Gecko & Leopard Gecko Pictures

First off the new crested gecko that I received today.

Pictures from Sundial




My Pictures are actually pretty crappy in comparison to how the gecko looks in person, but they give an ok gist of the appearance of the gecko. The first picture is through the plastic of the kritter keeper.






And the Bell leopard geckos that I received last week from Tangerine Gecko.

New Crested Gecko

I'm still working on getting the pictures of the two Bell females that I purchased from Nancy at Tangerine Gecko last week.

I just wanted to update that I should be recieving a new crested gecko from Sundial Reptiles tomorrow. I'll probably just update all three pictures tomorrow when the little guy comes.

It's an unsexed 3-4 month old juvie with nice harlequin patterns with an almost red tint. I'm just hoping that the gecko looks as good in person as it does on the pictures from the website.

I have a source that says sometimes they're geckos aren't as pictured, but I figured I'd try it anyway. The price was a steal, especially if the gecko is as appeared on the site. I'll try to post pictures of it fired up and not. Just whatever I get I'll post up. Hopefully they'll match close to the website's picture.

Updated Availability Page

So, I updated the pictures on my available page, so if you're interested in a few nice leopard geckos or African fat tail geckos, check them out.

I have leopard gecko and crested gecko eggs in the incubators, so I hope to be adding a few more to the available page within the next few months.

Also, if you missed the news anouncement on my site, I've decided to let a few leopard gecko breeders go. I haven't made my final decisions, but I am leaning towards Blazing blizards and a few SHTCTBs. You'll hear an updated decision more towards September.

Keep watch on the site. New things are added and old taken away. Look for a few changes in the near future.

New Bell Leopard Geckos

I'm so excited! Nancy Wheat at Tangerine Gecko, has made my day, week probably.

I purchased to female Bell leopard geckos from her website, and they are gorgeous! Even more so than the picture! I'm extatic about them. I wish I had that money to buy at least one of her Bell Hybinos, as they're so tangerine and pretty. But, $125 plus shipping is going to have to wait, plus I'm out of tubs.

But, anyway, if you're looking for leopard geckos, and I don't have what you're looking for on my site, check out Tangerine Gecko

I can't wait to get my Bell Project started. I'm just hoping that my Mack het Bell will be a good producer, or I'll need a new male. :-( Preferably the same morph, as I've purchased 2 Mack het Bell females as well from Paul Sage. He's great to work with as well and supplies high quality reptiles, too. :-D

Feel the excitment!

I've got a few things to take care of and I want the girls to settle in, but I'll get pictures within a few days.

Crested Gecko Laying Eggs

I was by far an expectant mommy. Another female crested gecko decided to lay today. I caught her with her head and shoulders buried, and I had to take a second glance.

Pictures from a few days ago.



I found her with her head buried. I'm not sure how long she was like this, but she sat like this for another 5-10 minutes longer.


Fully burried.


After about 30 minutes give or take. Her head emerged on the other side of the lay box. She went swimming in the dirt. ;-)


Then another hour:


And about 4 hours from the start when I found her. I find these little boogers.


I have 4 crested gecko eggs in the incubator, which is set at 77-78F. I hope for rested gecko hatchlings within 2 months, give or take.

Crested Gecko Eggs

Yesterday was very exciting. I found my first good clutch of crested geckos eggs. In addition I found my first good clutch of leopard geckos eggs from a particular breeder.

Currently the incubators hold 2 harlequin x pinstripe crested gecko eggs and 4 SHTCTB leopard gecko eggs.

I'm looking forward to a busy season. I hope you guys keep tuned in. Be the first to inquire about the hatchlings.

I have high expectations for my crested geckos, so don't miss out.

SHTCTB Leopard Gecko Eggs

So, I had my second clutch of SHTCTB eggs from my girl from VMS. So far they look good, but they're only a few days old. I'll keep in touch about their progress. I'm not sure if I mentioned, but her first clutch went bad.

I'm still waiting on the other females to lay. I have one other tangerine leopard gecko who has laid a few clutches, but all dehydrated before I could get them.

I still have 4 available leopard geckos from the 2007 season. They're getting big and growing prettier each day.

I have had inquires about a few of them, but nothing permanent yet, so all are considered available.

My Investment: The Cost of Breeding Reptiles

Things to Think About Before Breeding Reptiles

So, lately, I've been getting more and more "I want to breed my leopard gecko" questions. I'm about sick of them, honestly.

These people aren't prepared, and most of them are brand new to the world of reptiles. They're thinking way to far ahead of themselves, and yet most of themtend to want to breed as soon as their new geckos are able to.

So, anyway, I created this little piece that those who think they want to breed reptiles, should check out. Here

Crested Gecko Eggs

We have found our very first of all time clutch of crested gecko eggs. Unfortunately, they were not fertile. But, it gives us hope that we will have crested gecko hatchlings in the near future.

Also, an update on the first clutch of leopard gecko eggs. They were dudes. Sweating from the indise out. But, again, hope for the current breeding season. We should have SHTCTBs, Tangerines, Blazing Blizzards, Tremper albinos, and maybe a few Bell albinos and hets.

I currently have 5, maybe 6, gravid females, one of which has started her season.

Leopard Gecko Morphs

So, when choosing a leopard gecko, you now not only have to worry about the gender of the gecko, but you may be interested in the morph (the colors and patterns) that they come in.

Because there is a wide number of reptile breeder, there are a wide number of curious minds. "What will I get if I..." "I wonder what ... would look like."

But, it can get all so confusing. I mean with egos and marketing techniques everyone is trying to name their own special morph. I mean would saying a Mack Snow Eclipse Enigma be so much easier to identify than a Black Hole? I mean, yeah, the Black Hole, may sound cool, but if gives NO characteristic to what morphs made it. Plus, there's only one or two to date, so what's the point in giving them a special name. Or, take into account the Nova, which is simply put- and Enigma RAPTOR.



Anyway... for simpler matters a semi-complete (to date) listing of leopard gecko morphs can be found by clicking: Leopard Gecko Morphs.

You won't find any tricky combination morphs like the Black Hole because, to me, that's easier said than done. Plus, for the most part, you can combine most morphs to make a "new" morph, but it's really nothing new. So to make your own combo morph, just mix and match the ones on the list.

Eggs

So, I had my first clutch of the season today. Two eggs from my SHTCTB female and SHTCTB male.

Available Leopard Geckos

I have updated the weights on the four females I have available. All four are are able to be shipped. I tried to get updated pictures, but each had a large shadow from the sides of the container. I didn't feel themin the slightest bit attractive.

You can visit my available page to see the updated weights- goReptiles

Caring for Pet Reptiles

Caring for pet reptiles is relatively simple. As long as your habitat is accurate and the diet is correct, you should be on your way to a healthy reptile. But, you must first do your research just to make sure that you can provide the perfect enclosure for the reptile. Remember- the larger the reptile- the larger the enclosure.

Bell Leopard Gecko

I have recently posted about my search for a few Bell Albino Leopard Geckos, well, I have found my new Bell Female Breeders.

Paul Sage Reptiles

I have found 0.2 Mack Snow het Bell and 0.1 Tangerine Bell.

I am very excited. I bid you all to check out Paul Sage's site, as he has uploaded over 160 leopard geckos of varying morphs available. He is, also, having a sale of 25% off through February. You must make a minimum order of $100.

Het RAPTOR Male Leopard Gecko

So, I've added a Het RAPTOR male to my more pressing list of breeders to purchase. I would prefer an APTOR Het Raptor or a Hybino Het RAPTOR. We'll see what comes out way.

I'm currently, letting my Hybino breed with my Het APTOR and one of my SHTCTBs, but to no avail. Both females still appear ovulating and not gravid. I will continue to allow the male to attempt mating with the females, but with given time, we'll see what happens.

Bell Leopard Gecko

I am currently in looking of a few female bell leopard geckos.

I am in search for the following females:

Bell Hybino

Bell het Mack Snow

Tangerine Bell

Bell Jungle

I am more pressing to find a hybino and het Mack Snow.

I hope to pair these females with my Mack Snow het Bell male and my SHTCTB male.

I do not have current plans for the Bell Jungle, but they're pretty. :-)

How to Choose A Crested Gecko

How to Choose a Crested Gecko? that may be what you're asking yourself if you're considering bringing home a crested gecko that is.

Well, assuming that you know how to take care of a crested gecko (husbandry, diet, heat, humidity, etc), you will want to know the different visible signs of sick and healthy geckos.

Make sure that you consider both retail and breeder options. Weigh them carefully, as one may be a better option. As a breeder, I can give you tons of viable reasons to go to a breeder, but at the same time, there can be ok reasons to go to a retail store.

If you choose to purchase from a pet store, make sure that the employee you're talking to knows what he's saying, the enclosure is clean and correct, the gecko(s) in the enclosure look healthy, and just make sure that you are comfortable with the decision that you are making....
