LEOPARD GECKO PROJECTS

The breeding potential of these animals never ceases to amaze us and 2008 was no exception! Whilst we are keeping back a number of 2008 offspring we have also augmented our lines from a number of private UK breeders such as Mystic Gecko.

2009 will see us improving on a number of our lines in an attempt to create the most stunning animals we can over the coming years.

Bell Albino Projects

2008 saw us breeding Mack Snow het Bells, Bell Sunglows, Bell Enigma's and het bell het blizzards. 2009 will see us continuing with a number of Bell line breeding ideas so stay tuned!!

We acquired our Bell Sunglows from two US breeders in 2007 and will be selectively breeding for the most intense bright orange and classic Bell traits.

We also have two very special Bell projects on the go and hopefully 2009 or 2010 will see the results we are looking for ....

Super Hypo Carrot Tail Baldy Line

Last year we acquired a superb SHCTB male with 85% carrot tail. We also acquired a couple of stunning females from Steve Sykes and their 2008 offspring have been good ... but we want to make them better. We will therefore be selectively breeding for deep orange and 85%+ carrot tail  - what we ultimately want is a 100% deep orange from head to the tip of the tail.

Diablo Blanco's

In 2007 we acquired two breeding groups of Diablo Blanco's and het Diablo Blanco's direct from Ron Tremper and were the first UK breeder to hatch Diablo Blanco's. We have kept the whitest Diablo Blanco females and will be breeding them next year to improve this line. The genes in the Diablo Blanco are said to unlock the Yellow Eye gene which produces what Ron Tremper has termed the Xanthic so who knows ....

Reverse Stripes

We acquired a 1.3 breeding group of Reverse Stripe het Raptors from JMG in 2007. We've kept the best Reverse Stripe females produced in 2008 and will be selectively breeding them to strengthen the quality of this line. We will also be introducing this trait into other morphs over the coming years. Pictured on the Home page is one of the first in a line we are looking to prove out - a yellow reverse stripe with orange borders. We've kept this male and two females just like him so were are keeping our fingers crossed.

Snows

We currently have several snow lines we will be working with over the coming years. We have a group of TUG snows acquired from The Urban Gecko. The TUG snows are interesting as they appear to be a dominant form of Snow with no super form. Also acquired from The Urban Gecko were a 1.4 group of Phantoms which combine the Tremper Sunglow and the Tug Snow.

We acquired a group of JMG line snows and Hypo Snows (Cremsicles) and will be trying a few things with these too over the coming years.

Lastly we now have a group of stunning Mack Super Snows and a Hypo Super Snow (Picture on Home page).

We will post further news on specific snow projects over the coming months. One of the aims is to produce a line of clean, non-yellow snows that can reproduce true - may take time but then again good things come to those with patience!!

AFRICAN FAT TAIL'S

2008 saw us breeding 'fatties' for the first time. We have now started a line of very light 'normal' banded AFT's produced from our original W/C group.

Additionally we have acquired a pair of Super Tangerine Fat Tails and will be looking to selectively breed these for intense orange over the coming years - availability will be limited in 2009.

CRESTED GECKO'S

In 2008 we acquired a stunning group of Cresties - picked specifically for certain traits such as a well defined 'crest'. So far we have a Chocolate Harlequin, two red dalmations and a pinstripe.

2009 will see us breeding these for the first time which will be extremely interesting as little is known of their genetics and how they work. Successive breeding will hopefully give us a better insight into how this species works. This is also one of our most exciting projects as there is much untapped potential to create new Crestie morphs.

VIPER GECKO'S

These creatures are beautiful ... and very small being the size of a little finger nail when born!! 2008 was the first year we  bred these and we hope to be able to make some available in 2009.

HELMET GECKO'S

These little critters are awesome and quick! Almost a mini dinosaur. We currently have a 1.2 that will hopefully be old enough to breed late 2009 - we will bring more news as we know more.
