Well I went RAMBO at the CRBE and spent a LOT more than I thought I would. Got racks from Greg west (Cornel's World) and geckos from Steve Sykes(GeckosEtc) and Craig&Lori (Urban Gecko) which brings me to 7 adults, 5 subadults and three racks including an empty hatchling rack. I'm getting ready to take the collection to the next level, and I think these new animals are a great start.
1) Mack Snow Giant (104 grams) RAPTOR...Love this guy. Wanted to get at least a little bit of the giant gene animals into my collection! Not the greatest example of a Mack RAPTOR, to me it didnt really matter if there was snow in him or not, I just wanted a giant visual RAPTOR and he was all Steve had left. But I trust Steve that this is indeed a Mack Snow just with a lot less pink and white that I'm used to seeing.
My big RAPTOR Female (75 grams) looks a lot smaller next to the Giant in this picture. He'll be breeding to her this winter. Its funny cause even though hes a supposed mack snow they appear to be the same colour.
2)Godzilla Giant Female Tremper Albino. Godzilla was the biggest Leopard ever recorded at 170 grams! This girl is three months and already at least a good 40 grams (Havent weighed her yet though but she is definitely over that)
Up next is a Bandit pair. Animals that I think we don't have enough of up here in Canada. Love the boldness of the black borders on some of them but man, the "faces" these geckos can have on their heads (such as the great happy face on the male I got) are just insane. Couldn't capture how pretty these animals are in person (male was in shed too)
Last, but certainly not least--you guys know I have my Phantom Marble Eye pair and that I absolutely love the pastels seen in the the Phantom line so how could I say no to a Goblin? A Phantom version of the RAPTOR
Now that everythings in place and I'm hopefully done buying animals for this season--I'm going to focus on setting up a Facebook page for the gecko collection where I will eventually post pairings and animals for sale (I've already chose a cheesey name even!)
Thanks everyone!
