New Leopard Gecko Hatchlings!
A few months ago I obtained a pair of leopard geckos (my lovely husband thought of me) and they were a first for me. We own quite a few reptiles. We have a small collection and we do reptile husbandry as a side hobby. We have bearded dragons, a Tokay Gecko, a Veiled Chameleon, Ball Pythons, Uromastyx, and now we have Leopard Geckos in our collection.

| Tremper Sunglow Male |

| Super Hypo Female |
These guys are absolutely adorable. They are probably one of the easiest reptiles to maintain. (I do exhaustive research on all of my animals I own, so if you have questions I would gladly help out!) Anyway, the first two leos I received (after much research on my morphs) a super hypo (the female) and a Tremper Sunglow. They were already breeding and and after a couple of weeks she had laid eggs for me!!!
What is really neat is that the babies come out looking completely different than they will as adults. Their banding fades into spots or to patternless depending on the morph!!! A small reward for being a reptile owner is when you do produce eggs you really have to collect memories on the punnet square and you become a small time geneticist. You really have to understand the terminology of genetics as well.
So I wanted to share my results from breeding a tremper sunglow male to my super hypo female. I have two beautiful hatchlings that are eating great and are growing super fast.
I'll make sure to post progress pictures of their color changes!!
If you have any questions please ask!!!
