I don't think the OP was being malicious either. But purposely breeding genetically incompatible genes knowing full well what the potential impact on the gecko community could be, is blatantly irresponsible. It's like flipping the finger at all those who are dedicated to making leopard gecko...
In response to Rothsauce: Your most recent post is very well thought out and valid. With dogs and horses, we have the advantage of American Kennel Club (AKC) and the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) to assist breeders and buyers with pedigrees for their animals... going back literally...
As one of the few gecko breeders who has been around for 19+ years and invested literally thousands of dollars on my geckos, as well as spending thousands of hours educating others, I am finding it difficult to reply to the OP without gritting my teeth. When I was 17 years old, I thought I knew...

I still have a few amazing 2013 Bold Stripe Rainwater project geckos available, and they just keep getting better every year! All feeding well on mealworms, dubia, and occasional crickets and supers. See this pretty girl and more on the newly updated Golden Gate Geckos' website!

Photos just don't do justice to these beautiful Mack Snows! Created with a Super Snow het Eclipse father and pure E. fasciolatus mother, these outstanding geckos would be a great addition for just about any breeding project. Males and females available (related). Feeding well on mealworms...
See this lovely girl and several more on Golden Gate Geckos' newly updated website! All are feeding well on mealworms and occasional crickets, dubia, and supers. LAST ONES from the 2013 season.

I've got several adult pairs of Australian Thicktail (Underwoodisaurus milii) available for sale. These are really cool little geckos, and an excellent introduction to keeping Australian knobtail species. All are feeding well on disted crickets, dubia roaches, and occasional superworms. See...
I agree with Aliza. We can disclose everything we know about the genetics of a gecko, and even stupulate it isn't to be bred... but ultimately we have no control over whether that happens or not. There is W-A-Y too much indiscriminate breeding going on these days, and very little...
If leopard geckos were anything other than primarily nocturnal, their eyes and skin would be better adapted to natural UV light... which they are not. Leopard geckos do not see very well in bright light, and their skin does not assimilate VitD for Calcium meatoblism like diurnal reptiles do. To...
LOL... did you notice the original thread is from 2007!!? :) In my nearly 17 years experience with several species of geckos, they are most active at night and feed whenever they are hungry and/or food is available. In the wild, my guess is that they do indeed feed at dusk when the bugs are...
As an Ordained Minister, I can say without any question that discrimination of ANY kind towards other human beings is certainly NOT what Jesus tried to teach us. The Bible has more finger-shaking at fornication and adultery that any reference to homosexuality. When are we truly going to achieve...
