Sunrise Blazing Blizzard Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis macularius)

My friend Nick S. quietly asked me at a BBQ what I thought would happen if he combined Tangerine and Blazing Blizzard". I didn't really think it could be done, but gave my usual reply of "I dunno, but it might be neat", and more or less forgot about it. Two years later, a photo of a stunning new gecko arrived in my emails from Nick. He explained that while he'd gotten one of what he was after, it proved very very difficult to produce them from hets due to gene linkage issues, and he'd produced hundreds of babies just to get this one. Now, after two more years, he's got the lines stabilized at last but suddenly had to dump the entire project in my lap to attend law school. I can't complain, in my thirty plus years of breeding Leopard Geckos, this is certainly one of the most eye-catching morphs I've ever seen. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Sunset Blizzard Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis macularius)

During the creation of the Sunrise Blazing Blizzard, numbers of non-albinos appeared which also display a very unique and attractive look. This resulted in a darker version of the Sunrise Blazing Blizzard, which Nick named the Sunset Blizzard. Personally, I prefer the look of these to the Sunrise Blazing Blizzards.

Eclipse-Eyed Enigma Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis macularius)

Homozygous for Eclipse, a recessive trait, and heterozygous for Enigma a dominant traits. Like all combos involving Enigma, these are not the sturdiest animals and should not be purchased by beginners.

Diablo Blanco Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis macularius)

Homozygous for Tremper Albino, Blizzard, and Eclipse, three recessive traits. Diablo Blancos are one of the hot ticket items, and they are indeed very attractive. Essentially a Ruby-Eyed Blazing Blizzard made by combining Blazing Blizzards with RAPTORs, they are cream to creamy-white geckos and most have solid ruby red eyes. We created our own line of these, from scratch, unrelated to any others in captivity. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Eclipse-Eyed Blizzard Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis macularius)

Homozygous for Blizzard and Eclipse, two recessive traits. Beautiful Blizzards enhanced by the addition of those startling solid black eyes provided by the Eclipse gene. As with all Eclipse Eyed geckos, occasional specimens may exhibit only a partial eye coloring, and are termed 'snake-eyed' by most keepers. These can appear at random from any pairing, and exhibit the same likelihood of producing solid eyed specimens as pairings of purely solid eyed specimens. But many lines of Blizzard also tend to exhibit a similar 'snake-eyed' appearance, and care must be taken not to mistake one for the other. However, any specimen with at least one solid eye is certainly an Eclipse, as the blizzard form never takes on the solid eyed appearance. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Raptor Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis macularius)

Homozygous for Tremper Albino, Hypo-Tangerine, Eclipse, and something the developer calls 'Patternless'. This is NOT the same as Murphy Patternless. Our experiments indicate it may be nothing more than the interaction between Jungle and Hypomelanism which causes this pattern. With solid ruby-red eyes, intense bright orange-yellow body coloration and heavy orange and white on the tails, it's a brilliant & unique look! As with all Eclipse Eyed geckos, occasional specimens may exhibit only a partial eye coloring, and are termed 'snake-eyed' by most keepers. These can appear at random from any pairing, and exhibit the same likelihood of producing solid eyed specimens as pairings of purely solid eyed specimens. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Ruby-Eyed Tremper Albino Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis macularius)

Homozygous for Tremper Albino and Eclipse, two recessive mutations. Beautiful Tremper Albinos enhanced by the addition of those startling solid red eyes provided by the Eclipse gene. Many will exhibit a unique mottled jungle patterning in yellowish orange inherited from the Raptors used to originate this project. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Tangerine Super Hypo Carrot-Tail Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis macularius)

Either homozygous or heterozygous for Tangerine and Hypo Carrot-Tail, two codominant mutations. With two codominant traits involved, a total of four genotypes can be present in these - and there's enough overlap in appearances to make them difficult to sort out at a young age. Specimens homozygous for the two traits tend to have the best appearance, and many breeders will price these higher as a result - and they are worth every penny! Extreme examples of the type may have as much as 2/3 of the tail covered in orange when they mature. We've been carefully out-crossing these into our Tangerine lines to enhance the body coloration. We've already produced some astounding examples with orange bodies and tails! Click here to learn more/see adults.

Patternless Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis macularius)

Homozygous for Patternless, a recessive mutation. Formerly marketed as Leucistic, this was the first known mutation in Leopard Geckos - arriving on the scene after we'd bred Leopard Geckos for almost twenty years! Back then, our first five Leucistic specimens cost us $2500 each, which should provide a little perspective for the newbies reading this! A typical Leopard Gecko in every way, but colored solid lemon yellow with grayish white tails. They have normal dark colored eyes, for a strange contrast. Many possess bright orange near the base of the tail. We no longer breed these exclusively, but produce a few here and there from various heterozygous outcrosses, and they may be priced higher if the genetics involved warrant it.

Patternless Mack Snow Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis macularius)

Heterozygous for Mack Snow, a codominant mutation and homozygous for Patternless, a recessive mutation. These essentially appear as very pale Patternless hatchlings, with the reduced yellow one would expect from a Mack. Use these to create the Patternless Mack 'Super' Snow! Many of ours will be from various outcrosses to other mutations, and may be priced higher if the genetics involved warrant it. Click here to learn more/see adults.

Tremper Albino Mack Snow Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis macularius)

Heterozygous for Mack Snow, a codominant mutation, and homozygous for Tremper Albino, a recessive mutation. Unique pure pink and white as hatchlings! Use these to create the Tremper Albino Mack 'Super' Snow! Many of ours will be from various outcrosses to other mutations, and may be priced higher if the genetics involved warrant it.

Blizzard Mack Super Snow Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis macularius)

Homozygous for Mack Snow, a codominant mutation, and homozygous for Blizzard, a recessive mutation. Unique silver hatchlings completely lacking all traces of pattern at hatching. Like all Mack Super Snows, they have those startling deep pure black eyes! When combined with the beautiful silver body color, it's quite an effect! Click here to learn more/see adults.

Blazing Blizzard Mack Snow Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis macularius)

Heterozygous for Mack Snow, a codominant mutation, and homozygous for Blizzard and Tremper Albino, two recessive mutations. Not too much different than typical Blazing Blizzards as adults, but obviously whiter as hatchlings. Use these to create Blazing Blizzard Mack Super Snows! Click here to learn more/see adults.

Blazing Blizzard Mack Super Snow Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis macularius)

Homozygous for Mack Snow, a codominant mutation, and homozygous for Blizzard and Tremper Albino, two recessive mutations. Blizzard, Tremper Albino and Mack 'Super' Snow combined. Unique pure pinkish white hatchlings completely lacking all traces of pattern at hatching. Like all Albino Mack Super Snows, they have those startling deep pure red eyes at birth! Like all albinos, these may darken with age somewhat. Simply incredible! Click here to learn more/see adults.

Patternless Tremper Albino Mack Snow Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis macularius)

Heterozygous for Mack Snow, a codominant mutation, and homozygous for Patternless and Tremper Albino, two recessive mutations.

Giant or Super Giant Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis macularius)

Giant: heterozygous for Giant, a codominant mutation. Super Giant: homozygous for Giant, a codominant mutation. A unique mutation that causes lengthening of the body, head, and tail; recently proven incomplete dominant. With proper care and feeding, Giants get slightly larger (longer, really) than regular leopards, and 'supers' can get very large! Our founding stock were sired by 'Moose', the famous super. Click here to learn more/see adults.

All Giants we offer will be produced from breedings of proven Super-Giant males to an assortment of Giant and Super-Giant females. Thus all offspring will be Giants and at least half will be Super-Giants, but to save space we'll simply list and price them all as Giants and let you sort them out.

The description of each specimen is followed by the sex of the specimen, it's date of birth, a stock number identifying the specimen, and the selling price. Photos are of the exact specimen listed, most are taken inside a standard 16oz deli cup for size comparison, and are updated as time permits.

Understanding our stock numbers may prove helpful in identifying unrelated specimens:

• F-C01 indicates a 2006 hatching (we started this code in 2001 with 'A', 2002 is 'B' and so on).
• F-C01 indicates the harem group, and thus all specimens listed as F-C are from the same harem group (usually one male and four females).
• F-C01 indicates this is the first hatchling photographed from that breeding group. F-C12 would be the twelfth hatchling photographed from that breeding group.

CB - Captive Bred, usually followed by year of birth. Hatched or born from parents kept in captivity.

CH - Captive Hatched, usually followed by year of birth. Hatched or born from a gravid wild-caught female.

WC - Wild-Caught. While all of our stock is produced here, some of it is produced from wild-caught adults that we maintain. We will occasionally sell some of the breeder animals as surplus.

LTC - Long Term Captive, usually followed by year of capture. Applies only to WC animals, indicates they have been maintained for a long period in captivity and are very well established.

50%, 66%, 100% - Percentage of likelihood the specimen is heterozygous for the listed trait.
