Rescue,

As Pat said, saying it's a "Tremper" means nothing about the geckos health now. Hundreds of people have bought geckos from the original tremper and bred them. The reason some morphs have "tremper" infront is because he actually made those morphs. Like the Tremper Giant, he was the first one to create it. Just because the leo is a tremper doesn't mean it's actually from trempers private breeding stock, which means you can get a sickly "tremper" even though Ron Tremper only sells healthy geckos.

Thanks for all the info. I've learned something new about geckos.

Don't tempt me! I have to move in a few months, and I don't need any more landlord hassles than I'm already likely to have with a dog, a cat, two rats, two kids, a fishtank, and a bp or two. :wink:

Hi all,
Let me just clarify something, I agree with jeff's post above.
The fact is the juvi leopard gex came from C.R.A.P. which I know tremper stocks.
I never meant to imply that Tremper bred sick geckos, the meaning of my previose post was the idea that tremper geckos are normally very beautiful and ussually a morph of somesort. These two could have picked up parasites from sometime when they left tremper went through CRAP and got to their previose owner. Anyhow I didn't mean to start a whole thing. I think it was just taken the wrong way

Anyhow Marla, Leopard geckos are great pets I highly reccomend them!!
Thnaks

Thanks, Rusty! Except, who/what is C.R.A.P.? Maybe after I move I can get a gecko, or let the kids get one. Heck, maybe I can pet one at the reptile show next weekend. I hope it's a good one.

CRAP????!!!! Who would want to buy a CRAPpy gecko? LOL

[CTReptileRescue]

Center for Reptile and Amphibian Propagation (C.R.A.P.)

Reminds me of Nixon's CREEP. :-)

like I said, the probably never even got through tremper. Anione who gets a tremper leo and breeds it can sell it as a tremper albino leopard gecko.
