The right morphs for 2009

[TripleTGecko]

Hi there,
I'm just thinking what would be the right morphs for me or generally for the near future.
For myself I'm thinking to buy the one or other RAPTOR and maybe an eclipse or Nova.
But what are you thinking. You all see which geckos I can call my own right now.
Make some suggestions what would be good, and maybe tell my when I'm going the "wrong way". And maybe lets tell something about your near future projects. Just be open and help me be open minded.
Thanks for now Tomy

try Blazing Blizzards and raptors, you could get a diablo blanco

Buy into a morph that you find visually appealing.

 

[TripleTGecko]

Jo thats the thing, diabolo blanco are not the favorite of mine.
I like morps with great colors like the black hole or the bee's
but thanks for now

I have 2 suggestions: The first is to think about a new branch that would go along with the animals you already have, for example, maybe if you like stripes, you would want to invest in a stripe and then make mack stripes, enigma stripes, albino stripes, etc.

Another suggestions would be to continue to improve the quality of what you already have, so, for instance, I see you have at least 1 tang. If you like that color you could invest in an even brighter, higher quality tang and see what you could make with that.

I mostly follow the first suggestion. I started with only Tremper albino and SHTCT. I have since branched out into stripes and Mack snow, while only owning 3 breeding males (tremper albino, patternless red stripe, Mack Super Snow) but the combinations have been new and different. I'm now starting my 5th breeding season. I have not been able to really afford, or to house, some of the incredible stripes and tangs available and have preferred to hold back 1-2 of my best each year and to build that way.

Go for what you like.
If you want to make something new, get something with large genetic possibilities like a nova or dreamsickle. Breed that with what you have and see what you get.

If you want to stick with the morphs out there, get a pair of gecko to produce the morph you like, and try to intensify it and make the best of the best.

Basicly, find out what you want to hatch, then you can easily search for your geckos.

Hi @ all, first of all I would like to thank all of you.
But my question is not answerd completly.
I was thinking that you give me answers like try to cross a RAPTOR with a Mack Snow or things like that. The Diabolo Blanco is one suggestion but not the right for me.
And a line breed is not you know what I want to do.

 

[TripleTGecko]

Hi guys,
that's all?
Nobody else a suggestion? Nobody else want to tell something about the best of the best morphs for 2009??

I think you have quite a nice group already. I would breed the MS male to the MS female for Super Snows. You can breed your Enigma male to your MS female for MS Enigmas.
If you like Black Holes & BEES, get an Eclipse. Breed it to your MS for MS het eclipse. The same year breed your Enigma to your RAPTOR for an ENigma het RAPTOR (Eclipse). Breed one of the Enigmas het RAPTOR/Eclipse to a MS het Eclipse next year and you could get MS Enigma Eclipses (Black Holes) and Enigma Eclipses (BEES).
Oh I guess most of those you have are Albino so throw that in there and you get more variety.

I think since you were thinking of getting RAPTORS, Novas, and Eclipse, that you should probably try MAKING some Novas and Dreamsicles. First of all the Novas cost over a thousand dollars each, so I thing hitting the odds would be much more useful. Secondly, since you are already thinking about getting a RAPTOR all you have to do to get Dreamsicles (Mack Snow Raptor Enigmas = up to $3000 each) and Novas (Raptor Enigmas), is to get a Mack Snow Enigma het. Raptor, and breed it with a Raptor to get 1/16 Novas, 1/16 Dreamsicles, and a lot of other really cool looking stuff!

Full list of morphs from pairing of
Snow Enigma Het. Tremper and Eclipse (Het. Raptor) + Raptor

6.25% Het. Tremper and Eclipse (Het. Raptor)
6.25% Eclipse Het. Tremper (Het. Raptor)
6.25% Tremper Het. Eclipse (Het. Raptor)
6.25% Raptor
6.25% Enigma Het. Raptor
6.25% Enigma Eclipse (BEE) Het. Tremper
6.25% Enigma Tremper Het. Eclipse
6.25% Nova
6.25% Snow Het. Tremper and Eclipse
6.25% Snow Eclipse Het. Tremper
6.25% Snow Tremper Het. Eclipse
6.25% Snow Raptor
6.25% Snow Enigma Het. Tremper and Eclipse
6.25% Snow Enigma Eclipse (BlackHole) Het. Tremper
6.25% Snow Enigma Tremper Het. Eclipse
6.25% Dreamsicle

Tremper Eclipe = Raptor
Therefore Tremper Het Eclipse = Tremper Het. Raptor and vice versa.:biggrin:

He Solfire,
He Cat,
I thank you both so much!! That is really cool, you helped me really really much.
So I now what I will buy next!
Looking for Ecplise is the first thing, and than maybe another Raptor to my Mack Snow group, but do you think a group 1.5 is to big??? Or should this go??
Or keep them in a rack and change the boy between them??
He I would be very happy if you would send me a friendship!!!
Thanks for now!
Hope I will get my first eggs ever of the leos, than I started just in Jan ^^

 

[TripleTGecko]

He you 2,
i thank you so much!!!!!
That's so cool, i thank you to give me some advice in the leo genetic!!!
I would be very glad if we can get a friendship over the atlantic! ^^
Maybe we could "work" a little more together!

 

[solfire]

Thanks, glad to help, I'd love to be friends.
Yes, I think a group of six i way too many. You should keep them in their own tanks until the females are ovulating.

 

[TripleTGecko]

Oh man,
that's not fair at all.
My Super Tangerine Jungle Carrott Tail Tremper is a male!!! Argh
I don't know why i not regocnized it sooner, but now, what should i do.
I defenetly have to less girls, and I don't have enough money to buy 3 more girl right now. Grml
I don't like that game ;-)

 

[acpart]

How about putting 1 or 2 of the girls from group 2 in with the group 3 male?

Aliza

 

[TripleTGecko]

Yes one of the het. Abinos will I bring to the male, when she isn't pregnant until now.
otherwise there is no need to change!!
That's really bad, grml
let's see what i'll do, i don't no right now

 

[TripleTGecko]

yeah yeah yeah!!!!!!!!!!111
I got my first 2 eggs, and they seem to be good.
real smooth not to hard but shoorly not to soft!!!
Yes Yes!!!!!!1

 

[solfire]

Awesome! I'm going to get my first clutch soon too!

 

[TripleTGecko]

I hope to get a second clutch also this week ^^
Next week the second clutch must be there!!
In the first week of july i will get my new geckos (hopfully they all will be ladys as promised ^^)

 

[cat_named_noodles]
