I am holding back my gecko Vivid to be my male stud next year, he is from my hypotangalbinocarrot male and my hypotangcarrot het albino female. I was going to sell his brother, but the person who was going to send a deposit to hold an option on him never did, and now I am wondering if I should keep him. How many females do you generally have per male? I will be breeding a lot of 2002 geckos next year that I did not breed this year, so there will be a lot of ladies to service.
I am posting pics of Vivid and Vivid's brother...looking for opinions...is one enough or should I keep both?
This is Vivid:
Also Vivid:
This is Vivid's brother, who is younger, the orange is just starting to come though the pink on him
another of Vivid's Brother
So, what do you think? Should I hold back both or just keep Vivid? I mean, what if god forbid Vivid escaped and I didn't find him for five months like Lola? For those that remember Lola's story, she was my best of 2002 and she escaped in November and I didn't find her til like April. I did not breed her this year as I wanted her to but on more weight, she has fattened up nicely and I can't wait to breed her next season. Here is Lola today, btw. Being lost for 5 months in Winter does not seem to have darkened her colors. I want to breed her with Vivid next year-won't it be exciting seeing those babies hatch!!!
Lola today:
