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! |

We look forward to serving you in the future. Diablo Blanco Project 2008 results This Diablo Blanco has half red and gold snake eyes. Xanthic ? This gecko will be held back as a breeder. We will post more pictures in a month. The color is hard to see in the picture. This is another leopard gecko out of one our D. B. projects. These pictures were taken 10 minutes apart. It changes from a black tint, to an almost white. We think temperature may play a role in this chameleon. This gecko has two solid black eyes and will be held back as a breeder. This is a good example of some of the very best genetics in North America. The Tremper gene has produced some of the worlds most amazing morphs. |
