Blog - Notes From a Leo Breeder

These are just my thoughts, musings, ideas and opinions.

Some of them will be general topics about gecko breeding and the reptile industry, and others will be of a more personal nature. In other words, it's nothing to be taken too seriously!

    Well, the Austin show was great! I sold a lot of geckos and enjoyed spending some time with friends. Tim Cole really does an excellent job at promoting that show, and the venue is very nice too.

    I'm getting more leopard gecko clutches every day. It's going to be a great year! Last night I harvested two Electric clutches. I think my Electrics are going to be very nice this season.

    Sorry this entry is so short but I need to get in the gecko room. My bug order should be here soon too: 2000 superworms and 20,000 mealworms, whoo hooo! Have a great day everybody!

    Brrr. It's 17 degrees here this morning. Entirely too chilly for this Texas girl!

    Well, I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas season. It's a brand new decade and I feel very optimistic about it. Life is good for me at the moment, in my "gecko life" and my personal life. I've already got over a dozen leopard gecko eggs incubating, and about half of my adult females are gravid. My Fat Tails are all just about ready to go, and this year I expect to produce Patternless, Striped Patternless, White Outs Het Patternless, Normal and Striped Het Patternless and Amels. I'm pretty excited about the fatties! My cat geckos should produce well for me this year, and I hope to get some viable Xenagama eggs too.

    Well, time to go pack up geckos for the show in Austin this weekend. I've got about 30 more 09's left to find homes for and a few adult breeders I have decided to part with as well. Hopefully it's a good show! Have a great weekend everyone, and I'll end this entry with some lines from one of my favorite poems, "Rise", by Maya Angelou:

    Just like moons and like suns,
    With the certainty of tides,
    Just like hopes springing high,
    Still I'll rise.
