Love those tangerines! Beautiful, healthy looking babies! I'd def come here before Petco.

Thanks guys. They're all doing very well and growing up on a diet of small crickets, baby dubia roaches and the occasional wax worm.

The tangerines seem to turn out some nice colors. Here's a photo of two, 5 month old females I hatched and sold last season.

How many could i keep in an 18X18X18 enclosure

Hmmm...that's kind of a small foot print. I'd say one but you might be able to have 2 females if you made some sort of shelf background to add more available space.

If you're interested here's as thread about how I constructed a fake wall for the back ground of my one leopard gecko setup.

I'm not sure I know what you're talking about GER. The only black pearl I know was the ship from Pirates of the Caribbean.

I do my best and try to hatch females but about 10-15% of the ones I hatch end up being males. The reason I incubate the eggs to hatch as females is because you can keep mulitiple females in the same enclosure. That's how the chain stores are too. 99% of the leopard geckos you buy from Petco or Petsmart are females.

The tangs I'm offering for sale come from 2 different females but the same male. Reptiles really don't show the same bad traits that mammals do from inbreeding. Actually if you were to breed two of my tangs together, 50% of the babies would be albino because each Tang is 50% Het for Bell Albino. You could also take just one of the Tangs and buy another leopard gecko that was either Bell Albino or Het for Bell Albino and get some offspring that were true albinos.

Ahhh...I see now. You know, there are so many leopard gecko morphs out there I can't even keep track anymore. Those look ok but a lot of the morphs out there I'm not a big fan of.

you wouldnt happen to have tokay geckos would you???? i like the tangerines but i really want a tokay.

Thanks guys. If you really want to get your foot in the door with keeping reptiles, these guys are a great start. They're easy to take care of and very hardy.

you wouldnt happen to have tokay geckos would you???? i like the tangerines but i really want a tokay.

I haven't kept or bred those nasty little fellas in years. Not a big demand for them and I can't compete with the price wild caught ones are sold for.

Well I decided to sell this female Tangerine from last year's clutch. She was super tiny when she hatched as in barely 1.5" long which is twice as small as a normal one upon hatching. I was even going to cull her but decided to keep her. She grew up healthy and has a sweet disposition. She's a "dwarf" leopard gecko as I like to call her. Only about 5" long and over 8 months old. She'd be a great breeding project if you want to create dwarfs, lol. $35 takes her.

Here are the parents of all the Tangerine babies. My two females who happen to be sisters. One is a Wild Type the other a High Yellow.

My son has been asking for a lizard tank for months now too!! I have NEVER seen geckos like these before. I read up on the care sheet, but still uncertain. And how would you ship a gecko anyway??

Vicious_Fish

08-05-2009, 3:32 PM

Ok Vicious, exactly what is involved keeping these little guys....are they kid friendly? My son and daughter just saw me looking at your pics of them and are oooooooo mommying me. What size tank/enclosure....etc. I have never had anything other than dogs, fish, snails, and shrimp.

They're super easy to care for. You could keep 1 gecko in a 10 but it's kind of tight when they reach adulthood. A 20 gallon long would be better and you could even keep a pair in that size tank.

Here's a care sheet I wrote up on them that answers most of the questions you probably have on their care. Feel free to ask me anything I may have missed. :)

These guys are great beginner lizards to keep. Check out the same link above. I ship them overnight from the USPS. That means if I ship one Wednesday afternoon you should get it the next day sometime.

Nice geckos! It wont be for a while-probably next summer sometime, maybe longer-but I really want to get some geckos again. Not sure if I'll do leopards or cresteds (both? ;) ), but I'll have to look you up when I'm ready to get more geckos.

Look me up. I'm slowly getting out of breeding leopard geckos and switching to cresteds. But I still will have a few breeder leopard geckos next season.

Those are some beautiful geckos. I had one for about 5 years then had to get rid of her when I moved. She was my buddy. (for people contemplating getting one) If you acclimate them to you and your family they will hang out where you put them. Mine used to hang out on my shoulder while I played GTA!
