Ahhh. what the heck am I getting into.

My BF has talked me into getting another leopard gecko. We had two gorgeous female normals for a few years as our first herps but sold them because I HATE crickets. I literally hate them. It's bad enough I have a cham now that eats them. LOL. Anyways but he promised to care for this one all on his own.

ANYWAYS! LOL.....The babys parents are Dad: a Super Hypo and Mom: a Hypo Tang.

I don't even know if this is the right termonology for the morphs or whatever. But does anyone know what this little baby should turn out like? Somewhat? I know they all vary a bit.

Thanks, and you know I will be posting photos when the little guy gets here! LOL

Congrats on the new addition :) The baby could really turn out to be anything -- lol. Although chances are pretty decent that since both parents are tangs, he/she will have pretty good colour. May or may not end up being hypo, only time will tell :)

You know that you don't HAVE to feed crickets, right? Mealworms are just fine as a staple diet, and then you can feed a variety of other worms, and only occasionally crickets as a treat :)

Good luck with the new addition! Get some pics if you get a chance :)

Clownfishie- Yeah I know that now. When I originally sold my first females I was a herp NEWBIE and had no idea I could ditch the crickets. But since we have the cham its already a must have shopping item basically. LOL.

I am planning on feeding crickets as a treat like you mentioned and mealies, butter worms (when we get them) and silkworms.

I will get pics as soon as she gets here thats for sure! lol :D
