Hatchling Update September 18th 2017

Our hatchling racks are at near full capacity.  The way we handle new leopard gecko hatchlings is we leave them be and allow them to eat and grow for at least 2-3 months.  These early months are crucial to their development and health.  Gecko hatchlings that don’t eat well early on could develop metabolic bone disease (MBD), or other physical developmental issues such as being smaller and underdeveloped.  This is why even though we know people are eager to purchase these cute baby geckos, we do our best to not bother them too much during the first few months.

But as promised, we know folks like to see more gecko pictures.  We have plenty of hatchling pictures to share with you during this hatchling update.  First we’d like to show you a couple of before & after pictures.  Here’s a radar female born on 7-3-2017:

Refocused, Energized, Ares SG Mack Snow Raptor Leopard Gecko Update

It has been 3 years since we introduced Ares to the world, remember this post.  Since then we’ve had some challenges finding suitable females to go with Ares.  People have been asking us to update on his progress so here it is.

We’ve tried no less than 6 super giant females with Ares, all but 1 have rejected him due to his size.  I mean he is 12 inches long, 170g, the largest female we have in our collection is around 120g.  So there are sizable differences between Ares and potential female breeders.

Every time we’ve tried, the females seem spooked by his size, and just started running, biting, tail waving, etc..  These are not normal behaviors by ovulating female leopard geckos.  So the only explanation we have is that they are simply spooked by his size.
