Hi fellow gecko lovers and breeders. My name is Matt White. I live in Columbus GA/Phenix City AL. I am a breeder/wholesaler and have been doing so since I was 17 years old. I have 2 college degrees in biology and have stuck to what I know and love and thats herps. When I was 17 I collected lots of leopard geckos and started a fair sized breeding program. By 19 I had over 100 breeder female leos and added other gecko species to my collection, ie, panthers, pictus, fattails, phelsummas, and other nongecko species like bearded dragons, frilleds, ect. Throughout the years I have experimented with boas and pythons and have now, at age 26, decided to come back to my first love... geckos. As of now, my wife and I, Angel, have attained about 50 R. ciliatus, 30 L. williamsi, 10 U. phantasticus, and some odd and end boas and lizards. Our goal is to have well established colonies of L. picturalus, L. capiensis, some phelsumma species, R. auriculatus, ssp. leaches isl., and maybe some other off the wall geckos. I am looking forward to hatching some crosses of L. williamsi and L. caps within the next year, just to see what the babies would look like. Well, Thanks in advance for the warm welcome guys,
Best Regards.

:)I am keeping a detailed journal on the L. williamsii. I have one colony consisting of a 2.7that I keep in a 18x26x18 planted exoterra glass enclosure that has pothos and snake plants. I also have another colony that has a 3.9 that I keep in a screen cage that is planted in the same manner. My third colony consist of a 2.5 and is keeped in a smaller screen cage. I have 0.20 l. capensis that I am getting from my buddy. these will set up for 2 months or so to let the females dispell of any retained sperm or eggs from the wild population. Of the 0.20, the healthiest will be bred to an extra 3.0 of l. williamsi that. Hopefully breeding will occur and some cool gecko will come out of it. If this is successful then I would like to do the same with the l. luteopicturatus. Just something new and exciting.
Thanks,
Matt White
