To raise temps or not to raise temps? That is the question. I personally find it very unethical but just thought i would get everyones opinion stir the pot around alittle bit.
After "setting" the sex do you raise the temps of your bators so you get more "colorful" and "vibrant" geckos?
My personal beliefs are that the genetics should speak for themselves and not let the temp affect the coloration of your geckos. I think that is a huge misrepresentation of your animals and should be disclosed to the buyer before purchasing the gecko. IE i didn't think my geckos were bright enough so i altered their color by increasing the temp on incubation.
in short, if you have eh stock then you are going to get eh animals even if you raise the temp. quit being unethical or at least disclose this info to the buyer!!!!
