no but nice to look at anyway. have you heard about the dwarf leopard geckos people have bred?
i just come across this stuff randomly on the net lol but theres a few breeders with what they call "dwarf" leos which basicly are geckos which look like half their body has gone which cant be good and some want to breed from them!
il try and find a picture of one.

I don't think any breeders have actually suggested they are going to breed the dwarf leopard geckos. Reptilian Gems and BC Reptiles both have dwarves, apparently the Bells have one also, and Silver Rose Reptiles said they bred one but it died. |

What do you think giants are? 
The only reason I wouldn't breed one are because of the possible health risks caused by the shortened body (especially carrying eggs for females). |
