Hmm, which gecko- which gecko?

[whoaxmary]

We're still debating this,
When we realised we'd be going to the Expo - I already knew I'd have my eye open for a new snake. Don't have tons of money to spend, but we're trying to get some saved aside for that, and the enw gecko. As I mentioned above, a few people have offered to buy them off of me, but I don't think I will be able to get my money back, expecially the first time round.
It is more or less for the learning experience. By what i've seen though, even dominant genetic leopards don't seem to run too too high, so we will probably try to find something a little more fancy, as we plan to keep the female, and possably something from the clutch, assumeing we get that far.

Regardless of genetics, or breeding for profit, unless you are breeding multiple pairs/in decent numbers, you really won't see a huge amount of money from breeding leos. The market is going through a pretty rough stage at the moment and leos just aren't worth as much, if you want to breed for profit, go with something else, leos for experience, same goes for corn snakes.

As for best pets, I'm a huge huge fan of Tokays, awesome to watch, good size, eat everything in the world, aggressive but will calm down, sweet barks, and affordable, you can't lose!

Not really looking to make to much of a profit off of it. Looking for the experience more or less.

I had an offer for a "yellow gecko" (I was thinking she meant high-yellow? sending me pictures tonight) from someone for 40 dollars. .. I got my male for 40, along with everything he needed... Plus this girl is about 3 hours away so I'm not possative if I'll go for it.
Sure I could get something better for the same price if I wait until the expo.

You can definitely find a nicer gecko for $40 at a reptile show, in my opinion. Not that high yellows aren't nice, but I've seen some "higher end" morphs for decent prices at shows.

My thoughts exactly.
I did just find another pair, of bibrons though this time, going for 40 dollars, with enclosure hides, water bowls. etc. And they're a bit closer than the leo. Much better deal. ;p The owner seems to be more concerned about them going to a good home then making money off of them which is nice. It's good I'm not rich, or I would be over whelmed with reptiles. ;p

Nice! I've heard Bibrons geckos can be aggressive, but I don't have any experience with them so don't take my word for it.

[whoaxmary]

Yup, I've heard the same.
Though the only bibron I ever met was fairly nice, sat on my hand and was fairly docile.

Still talking it out with Tristan.
The owner was suppose to email me last night but hasn't yet. ;/
