Got a pair of giant raptors and a normal raptor to breed and enjoy, but when we went to the pet store they had a 3 year old large normal leopard i couldnt pass up. Havent weighed her yet but she has to be at least 80 grams!
So anyways what will i get when i breed my giant raptor with my large normal leopard?
Thanks for ur info.
P.S. where can i buy a desent grams scale? How much can i expect to pay?

Her ya go ! DealExtreme: Digital Scales (Page 1)
I buy really often from this site and like it alot. The only downside is that sometime they can take up to 10 days before shipping your items but personally , Everything was sent within 2 open days.

according to morph calculators,
giant X normal = 50% giant, 50% normal. 100% het for the paren't recessive genes.
those are estimates only.
to know more about giants, read ron tremper's article. you can google it.

If you breed a "large" normal to a giant RAPTOR you're going to get large and giant normals het for RAPTOR

As for 80g being large, I have two females at 79g, and 93g. It's quite common to see them between 50-90g as adults.

go to a head shop. aka a smoke shop.they have digital scales for $10 weighs grams, grains duey something and carrots. percise to the .01 and max weight of 1500g. very good scales

Thanks for the info. I didnt realize they got that large. the normal is bigger than both my giants. although there only 6 and 9 months old. cant wait till they get fully grown! i need do do some more reading on how all the mixes work, with resesive and het and all that. not new to breeding but definatly new to breeding differt lines and colors. any good articles or websites that explain alot of this?

and try ebay for scales. Just type in digital scale. You'll find hundreds if not thousands to choose from. Make sure you get something that's big enough to hold larger herps but accurate enough to do babies (at least to the tenth of a gram if not hundredth).

you dont neccisarily need a large scale, i have a pocket scale, and i just throw my lizards in a box, set the box on, zero it in, take off the box, take out lizard, put box back on, and i got the weight of my lizard (with a negative infront)

You'll get a lot more accurate reading out of an appropriate sized scale. Those little pocket coke scales are not very accurate with a bigger load. They're really made to weigh little tiny amounts.

is there a scale you would recommend?

P.S.Thanks 4 the Leopard gecko wiki link, awesome and very informative
