Update 2-28-2012 - We just posted a giant mack super snow 66% het tremper albino female, 62g with room to grow, and ready to breed!
Update 2-14-2012 - Happy Valentine's Day everybody! We have put our first ever homegrown gecko up for sale, you can find him under our available page. He is the beautiful bold stripe bell albino 100% het radar (het eclipse) male that we've posted so much about. If you scroll down to the beginning of the News Updates, you'll find pictures of him right out of the egg, and picture & video updates of him every month. He's a very beautiful bell albino with intense tangerine color on his body (pictures don't do him justice), and 2 stripes down his back along with lavender in the stripes. For a hobbyist, he'll make a great pet and should wow anybody that sees him in person. For a breeder, he'll be a great robust male with great genetics to create more radars, bell albino het radars, and you can even get into breeding bold/lavender stripe bell albinos. At this price he won't be available for long, so grab him while you can!
On another note, our first super giant female laid her eggs yesterday. They are huge, healthy looking eggs. We can't wait to see what comes out of them! Once again, the eggs were covered very well by the female, we had to really dig in to find them. So we stand by our recommendation earlier to always check the laybox carefully.
Update 2-4-2012 - A quick update, and a tip for new leopard gecko breeders. When you have a gravid female, check carefully for eggs as they can dig and bury them very well. We have a female who just laid two eggs, and we almost didn't see the eggs as they were burried so well under laybox medium. It was pure luck when we noticed she wanted to eat, as she was off food for quite awhile so we knew she had laid. But we couldn't find the eggs, so we carefully dug into the coco fiber. And guess what we found?
Look very carefully, you could barely see them! Prior to us sifting through the laybox medium, the eggs were completely covered. We had to uncover them carefully, as you can see in the pictures. So for new leopard gecko breeders, if you know your gravid female is close to lay, observe her behavior. When she becomes restless, she should lay soon. They can cover up their eggs very well so you would have to look carefully to not miss them.
These eggs are laid by our Radar x Mack Snow Eclipse het Radar pair. Now we just have to be patient and hope these eggs are fertile. We'll keep you updated!
Update 1-18-2012 - We are currently working on a Snowglow project, and here's a video showing you the pair we are using for it. It's a mild and slow courtship, but that's how we like it here. We are fortunate to have mild mannered males in our collection. Enjoy the video!
Update 1-14-2012 - Happy new year everybody! We started the year off with a few more eggs to incubate. Now we just have to be patient, as waiting is a big part of this hobby :) In the meantime, we made a video to show you two of our breeder males. One is a super giant tremper sunglow, the other a radar (bell albino eclipse). The video was made to show folks the size differences between super giant and normal sized leopard geckos. The male radar is the father of the two hatchlings below. You can see that the siblings inherited some of his traits. The super giant sunglow is the male that mated with another super giant sunglow female in a video below as well. We hope you'll enjoy the video!

Update 12-18-2011 - Today while cleaning all the tanks, we made a quick video to update you folks on the two hatchlings. The male is now 2 months old, while the female is one month old. It never cease to amaze us how much they change as they grow up. The male looks almost completely different when you compare him to the hatchling photos. The tangerine color is really starting to fill in especially with the boy. His color contrast is amazing! We hope you will enjoy this video, more to come later.
Update 12-9-2011 - We wanted to show you a couple more of our breeders. First this is a super giant mack snow raptor female. She's a huge 110g female with 2 solid red eyes. We have some exciting projects upcoming this breeding season for her. Here's a picture of her, as well as a video showing you her favorite activity...eating!
Next up, these are our super giant sunglow pair. The male weighs in at 130g, and he's only 10 months old. The female is 9 month old, currently weighs 95g. Both are still growing, both feeding very well.
They recently had a fling, we caught them in the act.
Update 12-8-2011 - Here are a couple of updated pictures of the two hatchlings. First is the bell albino het radar male, he is now 1 month and 2 weeks old. It's amazing how much he has changed if you compare this to his hatchling pictures below. The second picture is the female radar, she's just about 1 month old. She is keeping her beautiful bright yellow/orange body, and she's got 1 solid red eye and 1 snake eye. She looks really cool.
Update 11-26-2011 - Tonight we had a successful copulation between our broken reverse stripe radar male and mack snow eclipse het radar female. We captured it on camera to show you how leopard gecko mating is accomplished. We also wanted to show you what the male radar looks like, he's the father of the two hatchlings below. Hope you enjoy the video!
Update 11-23-2011 - The beautiful Radar female hatchling is doing great. It took her one week before she started eating. But all is well, she's active and looking healthy. Here's a video update of her just 10 days old, please enjoy!

Update 9-26-2011 - As promised, here's an update to our breeding progress. Last month we posted about having a couple of females ovulating, and it turned out they were ready to breed! One of the female leopard geckos already laid 2 healthy sized eggs. Here are a couple of pictures, enjoy!
Update 8-26-2011 - We are all set for the upcoming breeding season, all the breeders are currently growing up nicely and gaining good weight. We do however have a couple of females ovulating currently, so we may have some geckos for sale later this year. There is also a chance we may be letting go a gecko or two as some of our breeding projects have changed. So please do check back later, we will keep you updated on our progress.
