Alpine Newts- small but spicy

The smallest of my newts.  What they lack in size, they make up in color.

Adult female- many of my newts have remained neotenic- this young lady is almost gill free

Adult male - neotenic

Another adult male- neotenic

Crested Gecko Update

I love raising these guys.  I love the growth and changes to their mature colors and structure.  Every gecko is it's own surprise.  

Pookie- one of my pretty girls
Chewy- came from the same breeder as Pookie.  She has great color.

Next are my two pet store geckos.  I just felt so bad for them.  

Google- turned out to be a pretty boy.
Whisky- my gecko with the worst structure- she has a very small head
Brittle- my very yellow boy
Lashes- this boy fires up DARK.  Love his light lashes on his dark base.
Lashes- so cute when they are still growing.

Little Miss Lily- I won her in a Facebook contest.  She is super mellow.  She has such long lashes that she sometime looks sinister. 

Chunker
Sinister look!
Creamy with spots

Blue Tailed Fire Belly Newt

These little ones are small but robust.  Always good eaters.  I have not had any luck with breeding but there is always next year...

Fat with eggs or just fat...

Love their chestnut brown colors

Wonderful- beautiful male

Fire Belly Newts

These little newts are so quiet and unassuming.  They have striking colors.



This is the year of the Gargoyle Gecko

I am going to exclusively breed my gargoyles this year.  I am deciding on pairing at this point.  My biggest issue is that I will struggle with selling the offspring.  I have sold newts in the past without the same kind of concern.  Now that newts are so hard to come by I am struggling.  I just want to make sure that anything I produce is going into good hands.  

I tried one gargoyle pairing last hear but got dud eggs.  This year I will be trying with multiple pairs.

Archibald- red striped male

Archibald, again

Ricky -reticulated male

Fleck- orange reticulated male- not up to breeding weight

Bleu- reticulated female

Leopard Geckos

My leopard geckos are my largest geckos currently.  Eventually, my leachianus will be the biggest.

Charlie and Elliott are so wonderfully inquisitive and calm.

101 grams of wonderful

he has the eclipse trait so his eyes are solid black

I love his white nose and face strip

97 grams of pow!

Charlie has regular eyes- I think I like them more than eclipse

Love his chunky heart shaped face
