| Captive Bred Leopard Gecko Breeders |
| Herpetoculture of the Leopard Gecko The Leopard Gecko is one of the most dynamic reptiles to own, breed and study. They come in a variety of colors, sizes and genetic patterns. They were first bred in North America in the 1970s, and since then they have become the Japanese Koi of reptiles . Through careful test breeding, herpetologist in the United States have developed the modern leopard gecko of today. Gene mutations are a big factor in captive bred reptiles, and the isolation of these genes in the DNA strand produces new strains. Homozygous and heterozygous traits can be produced out of these mutated strains. You start by test breeding the first generation and note your outcome. Then once you have your new morph, breed them one last time to make sure they breed true. Wow new morph! |

| New Bell Giant Hets This is the result of the isolating the Giant gene. It was an obvious choice to use the Giant Tangerine, a polygenetic trait. Once our Giant tangerines were no longer producing Tremper albinos , we introduced the Bell gene. This prolific project will open many doors for hobbyist, and the hard core herpetologist. This Giant female is 100% het for Bell, 50% chance het for Radar and Eclipse. |

| Tips to buying a leopard gecko 1. Never buy baby reptiles of any kind, because they require special care and they have to be proven eaters before they can be sold. Sub adults and adults are fine. 2. Never buy reptiles at a pet store , because their health and genetics are questionable. Go straight to the source. 3. Always choose the leopard gecko with a nice fat tail. This indicates good health and wellness. Never buy a gecko with a skinny tail. 4. Always do a comparative market analyst ( cma) on any reptile you wish to buy. Stay away from the deal of the century. Remember you get what you pay for. |
