ok yeah i know he is from boerne, i was raised there and lived there til bout 6 years ago if he does leave them outside, im asuming you ment outside of the incubator.... this sure wouldnt be high enough temps durring the winter ( dec-jan is when breeding season starts and jan and feb are our coldest months), mind you texas isnt hot all the time just most and in this area the wintertime highs stay around 5-60 normally and normal lows in the 40's. so if this is the case why does he state 80 degrees for two weeks?

the breeders i have talked to incubated 100 eggs like this, a substantial number, however a fraction of what they produce yearly.

how can you say it shows the true genetic nature of the animal, because when bred to another tremper albino and incubated at normal temps... you pproduce brow or browish albinos... if i buy and pink and white tremper and breed it to a pink and white tremper.... incubate it noramlly i expect my offspring to look like the parents... the pinks and whiyes are not genetic anomilies rather created by manipulating the temperatures to reduce the amount of melanin in the animal.

now do i think their will be tremper albinos that are gentic to throw pink and white offspring when incubated normally??? ye!!!!!! but trempers way is just cheating plain and simple, the only genetic it proves is the albinism regardless of color... but not white and ppink albinos thats not the genetic part thats the manipulated part... aka the cheating area.

lets say you know nothing and buy two albinos from pay a few hundred dollars for some nice white and yellow or white/pink and orange geckos.

now you breed them and incubate them... you get brown offspting

trust me normal looking or brown trempers arent worth jack... *most of em unless they are exceptional, high color[tang] or abbarant or something)

shoot and ya cant even sell em for$40, $30 and possibly #20 because #20 bucks for normal trempers is what i have seen as next years going rate for normal trempers

woildnt you feel cheated or slighted? that you bred the two gorgeous animals yet without manipulating the temps you cant produce animals as nice or nicer that the parents??? changing temps durring incubation is not genetic... thats manipulation
