Here's my 2 latest additions that I picked up at the show on the weekend, both are from HQ Reptiles :) Couldn't be happier with them... thanks guys!

Here's Riana, a funky little striped girl from their carrot tail line:

cuties!

[Linds]

Very nice, congrats! Love your little striper ;)

[DragnDrop]

They only followed YOU home, 'cuz you took away the map I gave them to my house. Sheeeesh
:)

[KaHane]

Beautiful leops.

[HQReptiles]

Are you keeping them together?

[Blazin]

Hey we need to do some trading clown. Both those leos are awesome looking. Really like that stripe. Let me know I want some of your bloodlines. Email me and lets talk leo tradin!!!!

[Clownfishie]

Thanks guys! Riana is definitely unique -- I've never seen another striped like her before :) Guess she's a hypo striped? LOL :)

Hehe :)

Well Blazin, I don't have anything to trade this year -- next year should be another story though ;) I'm planning on getting one more female for the "carrot" breeding group -- she'll be from Ray Hine's line though, so it should be interesting to see what the mixture of the 2 lines produces -- hopefully some beauties :)
The albino & blizzard groups will also be up and running by next year... man, I can't wait!! Hehe :)

[HQReptiles]

So Jen, are you keeping the geckos together?

[Clownfishie]

they were together the first night, yes -- until I had a chance to set up a separate tank...

why?

[HQReptiles]

They were a little young to be kept together thats all. We are glad that your happy with them, and good luck next season... its soo much fun opening the incubator with adults like that breeding.

[Clownfishie]

Isn't Ciaran a little young to be feeling "urges" yet? ;) I would've thought that they'd be safe together for a little while before he started feeling his oats...

I'm definitely happy with them :) Everyone loves Riana, and of course Ciaran is absolutely amazing... man I can't wait until next year :) Hehe....

[HQReptiles]

Larger geckos often intimidate smaller cage mates into not eating. I used to hear and see this alot when I worked in a pet shop. That’s the only reason.

Matt.

[Clownfishie]

Yeah, I've noticed that too with a couple of my smaller ones that were in with others -- I ended up separating them...

I didn't notice that problem with Ciaran & Riana though... Riana actually seems to be the more aggressive eater of the 2, and she's the smaller one :) Fiesty little thing... hehe...

Any news on your carrot girl?? I know that everyone has been keeping an eye out, but I'm sure that the horrible person who took her will be lying low... I was really sorry to hear about what happened, wish I could've been there to help search...

Jen

[HQReptiles]

Nothing so far... dont really expect to get her back.


Matt.

[Murray]

Gorgeous Carrottail!

[Clownfishie]

Thanks Murray! :) Like I said, he's my new pride and joy :) What a handsome guy.... hehe :)

[lance]

awsome pair love to see the babies next year

[silke]

well you have a lot of people watching for any 'new' leos of unspecified origin popping up
at the very least hopefully this will shame that person into never doing it again and deterring others as well
...I guess i'm assuming they frequent herp forums

[Clownfishie]

Thanks Lance :) I can't wait to see the babies either ;) And I'll definitely be bragging when they arrive, don't worry... hehe :)

You've got that right Silke, we've definitely all got our eyes out.
