Shipping out some geckos today✈️. Cali weather in the winter is tame 45-70 🌞 so no need for heat packs when I ship within state. I’ll pack heat for colder temps.

Here are some tips on how to use this portable washing machine for our food and water cups / bowls for the animals:
1) Fill the washer with dish soap and soak the cups overnight so all the dried food will wash out easily when you run it. Bonus: if you use hot water, it helps to get the gunk off easier.
2) Don’t wash the contact lens caps with the actual cases. They will always lock back up together. Save time and separate them or don’t even use one of them.
3) The plastic cups stack into each other easily, so you will need to pull all the cups apart at least once so the water soaks into every cup.
4) DO NOT wash any glass bowls in this. I have tried a couple times and they always break.. duh 😅

For those that use this, how’s your experience been?

Sesame // Big girl, big crest without overfeeding her into obesity. Not as exciting as other morphs or other more rare things, but the structural traits are important to weave into projects. Don’t neglect structure! //
Are your animals structurally beefy or just fat from food?
#gecko #crestedgecko #reptile
Cali // Second season with this chubs. I really liked what she made with Hyperion last season. I repeated the pairing for this season!
#gecko #crestedgecko #reptiles
Qilin 🐉// This is a similar girl to Koi (the last post) with that cool splotchy white patterning. This is a Petri kid from Gabby🫶🏻
#crestedgecko #gecko #reptiles
Het Axanthic Lilly male // This one is also het phantom. He’s going to a couple het axanthic females this season. I like him even just as a Lilly!
#gecko #crestedgecko #axanthiclillywhite
Axanthic Girl 🌚 // By the time I grew this phantom ax out from 3g to RTB, the quality of available Axanthics grew significantly and the pricing dropped exponentially. I imagine in a few years visual Axanthics and hets will be as plentiful in people’s collections as phantoms are.

Jan Pomona Super Show 2024 was a good one✌🏻❤️ // Very thankful for our crew and seeing friends and for everybody that came to support and buy cool things! #reptilesupershow
Fawkes x Button (both named by the kids) are ready to hook up this season 🫶🏼 // My only pair of gargs. These were both slow growers for me. Finally ready.
#gecko #gargoylegecko #crestedgecko
Ghost 👻 // Happy new year! This boy is missing a toe but is ready for the season! Coverage💯. I’ll pair him to other high coverage females and will keep building in more white. // Wishing you all an awesome 2024✌🏻
#gecko #crestedgecko
Charcoal 🖤 // Second season. This guy is a stud and gets the job done every time. The kids named this because they thought he was going to get more dark, but his white pattern spread instead👌🏻 // His kids have been pretty consistent with the high coverage.
#gecko #crestedgecko
Pixie 🧚 Pixel girl // This one is an AC pixel. There could be different variants of the gene. People with pixel still need to work things out. Either way, I think the potential for pixels can be pretty good as we clean things up and put it into certain projects.
#gecko #crestedgecko
Flick // Possible breeder for this year. He rarely fires. He’s also one of the calmer geckos I have. // Do you guys notice temperament being passed down when breeding?

Hyperion // Entering his second breeding season. Dude is a stud ready to breed anything that moves. He’s the only gecko that has bit me multiple times to mate. //

🐒🐸 Monkey, the waxy monkey tree frog (Phyllomedusa Sauvagii). // Not to be confused with the giant waxy monkey tree frog (Phyllomedusa Bicolor).
#waxymonkeytreefrog #phyllomedusasauvagii #phyllomedusabicolor #treefrog #frog
One of my favorite growouts from this season out of Charcoal x Absinthe. At 8g it’s a lighter cream with high coverage wp that looks promising to get whiter as it grows🤞🏼❄️ //
The white stuff on high coverage extremes (not counting tri color white since i haven’t worked as much on those) is interesting to work with. From my 2 seasons growing out people’s white stuff on extremes and producing and growing out my own, and from talking with many people working with it and seeing their stuff, it seems (from my limited perspective) that it’s actually pretty rare to have an actual white white on these as hatchlings and young growouts. Can they progress and whiten over time? Definitely, but the young stuff isn’t a sure bet. //
Just a PSA for new folks to know that younger stuff may not be white as some breeders picture them to be. Ask for pics on a paper towel, ask for a rating scale of 1-10, don’t be an ass but don’t be shy. Proper expectations as buyers will help you to be less disappointed once you receive an animal. 🙂
#crestedgecko #geckos #correlophusciliatus #leachie #chahoua #gargoylegecko #eurydactylodes #newcaledoniangecko #geckobreeder
Chahoua aren’t my main focus, but these are some beautiful animals. They’re mobile like cresteds but more robust like leachies. I won’t reach into their cage freely like I do cresteds since they’re kinda intimidating😅. // How’s a chewie bite compared to a crestie?
#chahouagecko #chahoua #leachies #gargoylegecko #crestedgecko #geckos #newcaledoniangecko
Another comment and question for the white trait folks: Not only does the white patterning / white spotting get whiter once they come into that prime adult age, but does the white trait make it so the gecko goes whiter when they fire up?
(I think)This happens for a good handful of my geckos. This pic of Hyperion was from last night. He was mildly creamy until I fired him up for this pic, then he went whiter. ⛄️ ❄️
#crestedgecko #gecko #correlophusciliatus #chahoua #leachies #gargoylegecko #eurydactylodes #newcaledoniangecko #rhacodactylus
Question for all the experienced high coverage white/creamy breeders… at what weight/age do you see your growouts whiten up and develop more coverage?
From what I’ve grown out myself and seen from others, babies are usually just creamy and so so on the whiteness scale but some glow up crazy around 20-25.
What’s been your experience? And what do you look for in babies to know what’ll be amazing and what won’t?
#crestedgecko #gecko #newcaledoniangecko #chahoua #gargoylegecko #leachianusgecko #correlophusciliatus #reptile #geckobreeder
Rhacodactylus Leachianus Nuu Ana x Nuu Ami mix // This girl is growing nicely. I love the colors on this. The first time I held a full sized Leachie at Tinley 2022 I knew I needed to get one. I have a pair of Ana x Ami’s growing out. Probably won’t get more than just my pair. Fun side project! Super cool animal.
I’m still low key scared to handle these😂 Anybody else?
#rhacodactylus #leachianus #gecko #reptiles
Dubia Roach colony 🪳! I mainly feed the geckos crickets that I get shipped in from @joshs_frogs (expensive 😢) BUT I also feed a good amount of Dubia, so this colony is clutch for me. These roaches are significantly hardier than crickets, and they provide a significant amount of protein for the geckos💯 //
What are some feeding tips or feeding struggles you guys have?

Creamy @zengex_chase boy progressed nicely. I grew this out as a 4g hatchie, now 32g. // Some glow up. Some glow down😂 This one did alright. // Do you guys like the gamble factor of getting cresteds?

One of my favorite things about the hobby is creating a space that you can enjoy and rest in. // It doesn’t have to be crazy expensive either. I found a lot of my stuff used for really cheap. Most of these exo Terra’s were $35 each from a local breeder leaving the hobby. Just be patient and find good deals! #crestedgecko #geckos #geckobreeder
Cleaning and feeding last night. I hand washed everything until recently😅 Once you hit a certain number of animals, you’ll begin to appreciate the little time savers that add up significantly. // I got this washer used off my local FB marketplace for $40. Goes for $80+ on Amazon. #crestedgecko #geckos #reptiles #geckobreeding
Ghost // Crazy coverage took over this boy. No Lilly white. He didn’t look anything like this as a baby. It was cool to see him progress.

Axanthic girl that’s now at 46g that I got from Josh @jerseysexoticreptilekeepers // Grew her out as a 3g unsexed // While I don’t regret getting into Axanthics, like many of you, I took a gamble and took a big hit. It’s nobody’s fault (except the market flooders), but it wasn’t completely unexpected. You can get near rtb females for significantly cheaper nowadays. But that’s how the market rolls. Can’t be too salty about it. // What are some projects you threw down on that will take you a while to recover from?😅

100 Het Axanthic Lilly produced by Jeffrey @reptiledge // Got this from another breeder at 19g and grew it out to 33g in a few months. // Ax market has dipped significantly but quality stuff for your projects will always be worthwhile in my opinion. Just gotta roll with the punches.

As your collection grows, having a battery mister that holds a lot of water is pretty convenient. I use the hand pump a lot still, but for the quick mist for the rack, this is awesome. I got this Ryobi mister from Home Depot. Pricey, but you can find it on sale sometimes. Not worth it if your collection isn’t too big yet. The $15 hand pump does the job perfect.

Lillie’s are still amazing to me. // I think Lillie’s are a good baseline for how things will pan out as the market becomes more saturated with the new stuff.

I love these things. I’ve been wanting some Eurydactylodes for a bit. These are Vieillardi. Got some from @ajdreptiles and some from Gabby @morphmenagerie off their auctions.❤️ Also thanks to Dennis @gecko_gallery_ for all the knowledge and hyping these up for me.

What’s a Tiger? What’s a Harley? What’s a XXX (line)? What’s a Brindlequin? New breeders (and prob old breeders that really don’t know either) would be helped with an advanced morph chart with all the combos WITH many picture examples 😅. A description is not enough (for me at least). Foundation Genetics by @lm.reptiles is a good place to start getting an idea of the terminology and general idea. But man would it help to have a ton of picture examples with several variations with what’s what.🙌🏼
