I thought I'd intoduce my gecko family
First off Bruno my Macksnow male currently 86 gms, he came from D.Davis so I don't doubt his lieage (but he is very yellow)
Next Bruno's mate this year Bell a rare!! normal, she is now back to 63gms after droping weight producing eggs, 12 in all but sadly only 3 hatched
here are two off their offspring both 6gms and both looking normal
004 &005
more to follow, doing pics is a pain _________________ 4.5.4 |

more of my geckos
Ali my big male hybino now 93gms, he's got a pit grumpy/aggressive lately could this be because he's mated this year and wants more?
his mate for this year is Ct my SHtctB, down 88gms from 90 but has laid 4 eggs with 2 hatching. they both came from D.Davis Ali should have been a female just show even with experience sexing is hard
their two offspring 002 &003, not too positive on their morphs yet, opinions please
002 is two weeks older than 003 and they weight 32 & 20gms
002
003
more later _________________ 4.5.4 |

Rest of the gang
Blossom, shes the viv mate to Bell, they came from the same small breeder in Corly, shes currently causing a bit off concern shes down in weight to 51gms from 67 in march all-thought that was a one of, she normally weights in around 55gms. She was also mated with Bruno but only produced one manky egg, I wont mate her again she just a pet from now on. I did separate her from Bell when Bell was laying as I thought she was stealing all the food, bu she is now back with Bell and wont eat?
heres a pic of her with Ct taken when she was heavier
next up is my pet shop gecko Gizzmo a ShCt very yellowy/banana coloring doesn't Really show to well on pic, hes 80gms and ready to mate next season
Next up are my two rescue gecko Gin & Tonic both females and will go into my breeding project next year
Gin is 83gm and tonic 65, morph wise I have then as tangerines ?
Gin
tonic
lastly one little fella who is going to be the main kingpin in next seasons breeding Mr mistopiles AKA 003 form PS geckos (pic courtesy of PS geckos) he's currently on hold and will be with me soon
I just need to add two more females to make my little breeding colony complete, I'm looking to but a Bell sunglow/hybino and a MackBell or a nice Macksnow....
thanks for looking _________________ 4.5.4 |

Well I cant take any credit for him ( other than paying for him, Ps Geckos seem to have done a excellent job with their enigma breeding project, it took me a long time researching which breeder to source one from and I think I've made a en-formed choice _________________ 4.5.4 |

Nice looking group of geckos.
Like your mack snow you got of D.Davies,very funky pattern.I bought a mack snow off him too but a very pale one which i picked out of about 50 and Dave said ,"i just knew you were going to pick that one when i said all those were the same price".  |

yea hes sort of not quite a jungle more aberrant, that's the gecko not Dave
I hoped to get a least one macksnow offspring from him but sadly out of 12 eggs only 3 hatched and all were normals, _________________ 4.5.4 |

Somebody who knows alot more about breeding leopard geckos than me told me you can't get a normal if a mack snow is one of the parents only pastel macks.
I've not bred mine yet as i can't decide what to breed it to. I'm more into orange morphs and when i went to see Dave's geckos it was to buy something else but ended up with a mack snow too at a knock down price.  |

from what I understand reading the Mack LG Genetics page if you cross a macksnow with a normal you have about a 25% chance of getting a macksnow (though some places reckon 50% mack & 50% normal) ~ the pastels come about through Mack X Mack pairings  _________________ 4.7.20 Leopard Geckos
