Potential Offspring
for 2008
The following is a list of species which will potentially breed in 2008. Click on the thumbnails to see additional pics. New descriptions and thumbnails coming soon.

Lizards

Bearded Dragons
(Pogona vitticeps)

Australian Frilled Dragons
(Chlamydosaurus kingii)

My breeders produce 'reds', which are often referred to as coming from Northern Territory locales. They show earth-tone colorations: reds, yellows, rusts, browns,oranges. More importantly,..my breeders are exceptionally larger than the other locales in the US. Max is nearly 3 feet long and has a frill measuring over 12" across. DeeDee is over 26" long and her frill is about 9" across.
I want to clarify that my breeders are not 'silvers',..which are often referred to as coming from Queensland locales. Most frilled dragons in the US that show strong mainland characteristics (large size, larger frill, white cheeks,etc) tend to decend from the 'silver' "Queensland" bloodlines, which, in the US, have been heavily crossed to various different New Guinea bloodlines.
I have spent 8 years searching for the largest, non-silver Aussies in an attempt to produce the earth-tone "Northern Territory" colorations. The Australian babies produced in 2006 and 2007 represent my very-best attempt at producing true Australians that show red.

Granite Spinys (Sceloporus orcutti)

Geckos


Crested Geckos (Rhacodactylus ciliatus)
Crested geckos come from New Caledonia (a large island east of Australia) and have quickly become one of the most popular and sought-after geckos in the reptile market. With a face that makes even the most-macho of men say, "that's cute", and a quirky personality to-boot, it's easy to see why. To make things even more interesting, several different morphs of crested geckos are now being bred and there is an number of different patterns and colors to choose from. Crested geckos prefer cool temperatures and moderate-to-high humidity. Like other nectar-loving geckos, cresteds enjoy fruit babyfood, fresh fruit, yogurt and other fruity concoctions. Cresteds also eat crickets, which serves as a source for protein. Baby cresteds especially need a lot of crickets when they are growing. If kept in proper condtions, crested geckos are usually very hardy. Many crested geckos will become very docile if they are gently handled periodically.

Gargoyle Geckos (Rhacodactylus auriculatus)
The Rhacodactylus genus has many species that make interesting and hardy pets. Gargoyle geckos are a popular choice for beginners and experts alike. Properly-bred gargoyle geckos can be very hardy and live longer than 15 years,...IF they are given the proper conditions.
Like their 'pop-culture' cousins the crested geckos,... Gargoyles also come in a variety of color and morphs. Unlike their crested cousins, gargoyles are normally quite anti-social and should not be housed together except on a very limited basis. If gargoyles are forced to live together,... social stress and fighting are usually inevitable and can result in severe trauma.
Overall these geckos make great pets and,..other than their need for seclusion,..can be cared-for just like crested geckos. Gargoyles do have a propensity to eat more crickets. I also suggest feeding some type of gecko diet (mixed with fruit babyfood) at least twice per week.

Leopard Geckos (Eublepharis macularius)
Hoping to produce RAPTORs, APTORs, SHTCTs, Sunglows, Tremper Albinos, Striped-Hypo-tangerines, old-school high-yellows and more.

Fat-tail Geckos (Hemitheconyx caudicinctus)
Very docile geckos. Hoping to produce striped het-albinos and normals.

Standing's Day Geckos (Phelsuma standingi)

While standingi lack the intense coloration that many of the other Day Geckos display,...they could the hardiest of the phelsuma genus. Male standingi are also amongst the largest geckos in the world and can grow up to 12-inches in length. If given proper conditions, life-expectancy in captivity can exceed 15 years. Standingi come from an arid part of Madagascar, which could account for their relatively subtle coloration and increased hardiness.
These geckos show remarkable social bonds and behavior. Now in their 3rd year of breeding, my 5-year-old pair takes turns watching-over their incubating eggs and has even 'employed' a yearling son to help guard the eggs and hatchlings!
The breeders come from unrelated high-blue "Leapin' Lizard" stock. If kept under extremely bright conditions and given the the proper diet,... this bloodline of standingi will show an intense blue coloration.
I recommend feeding a Day Gecko diet (mixed with peach babyfood and water) 2-3 times per week. Crickets are the staple insect,..but mealworms and superworms are relished.

Boas

Dumerils Boas (Acrantophis dumerili)

Kenyan Sand Boas (Eryx colubrinus loveridgei)
Very small, interesting, and low-maintenance boas. Their thick, muscled bodies, tiny eyes and chisel-shaped heads are perfectly adapted for 'swimming' through sand. Put these boas on sand and watch them disappear in seconds!


Rosy Boas
(Lichanura trivirgata roseofusca)

Limburg strain albino:
A California Coastal Locale originating from a male collected around Vail Lake in southern Temecula Valley, Riverside County California.
These small attractive boas are easy to maintain and feed. Rosy boas tend to be quite docile and can be readily handled once they have determined that you cannot be eaten,..LOL. Pairs of Rosy boas can be adequately housed in 20-30 gallon terrariums. There are numerous distinct loclaes of Rosy boas as well as the standard recessive and double-recessive morphs. Rosy boas make ideal pets for beginners and good investments for savvy breeders.

 

Also working with a California Desert Locale: Long Canyon---my pair are hypomelanistic.


Colubrids

Honduran Milksnakes
(Lampropeltis triangulum hondurensis)

Hope to have tangerine albinos, tri-color hypo and albino hets, hypos, maybe some ghosts, and hopefully some vanishing pattern hypos.
