I actually think I might bypass breeding leopard geckos. The thing is, I don't feel confident that I could sell all the babies they would produce, since so many people are breeding fancy geckos these days. I think I'll probably just end up leaving Speckles as he is now...a cherished family pet who graces us with his presence in the morning and evening (he's the only reptile in the house that is located in the family room, instead of my bedroom).



Plus, I love my leopard gecko, and I really like leopard geckos, but they aren't really the kind of reptiles I eat sleep and breathe. I'm assuming at least some of you will understand what I mean by this.



I'd like to do something in the future with breeding ball pythons. I know a ton of people are doing this already, but I would like to find a mate for my young BP in a couple of years, and eventually also get an albino mate with the intentions of eventually producing some albinos (because I like albinos, not because of the money involved). I would also like to breed some russian tortoises in the future, and eventually some uromastyx. These are the reptiles that I have enough interest in that goes beyond just a pet/owner relationship to justify wanting to breed them.



That's just a few thoughts. I appreciate all of the advice given on breeding leopard geckos!
