You crazy leopard gecko people...

Congrats Daniel. Those little guys are very cute. Maybe I'll have to get my daughter one when she gets a bit bigger.

ha ha....so what ya got?

it's a girl! girls do have slight bulges but she is lacking enlarged preanal pores which become clear to the naked eye in males at around a month of age if not before. congrats!

unfortunately i have no mate for her at this time. i just sold my last male from 2005 leaving me only with milton, my breeder male. i do have the first clutch of the season in the incubator though, and am expecting more eggs any day. :)

GREAT!....Thanks!....i have to figure out leo morphs now.....whats with all this incomplete dominance?...LMAO

for future reference:

male:

note the enlarged pre-anal pores along with the presence of bulges at the base of the tail.

female:

note that there is still somewhat of a bulge but the pre-anal pores are not enlarged. the cloacal opening curves inward more as opposed to being more flat like that of a male.

ha haaa! i know squat about leo genetics. i know what i have and what i can make with what i have and that's about it. :rolleyes:

Most of what I've seen with leo genetics is that it's more of a selectively bred thing than with ball pythons.

There are three different types of albino and they do not mix to produce an albino though! I.E. rainwater albino x with bell albino would just give you double hets for rainwater and bell. I don't think anybody has made a rainwater combined with bell or tremper albino that's visible for both. If they have, it's not very noticeable. Anyway, I'll let you find it all out. I just have the basics of what I've got down myself.

Btw, your leo is a cutie! I want to pick up another female myself.

We just named her...Brynhild...or Bryn for short. Brynhild is the chief of the Valkyries and Valkyries are the choosers of the slain in Norse mythology.

Sweet name!

she look great...
