1) Turn off the caps lock, nobody likes to be yelled at.

2) Buy a book on leopard geckos. There are a few good ones that will answer all of your questions and more. I would recommend The Herpetoculture of the Leopard Gecko from Ron Tremper. It is brand new and very up-to-date on all the morphs.

HELLO, OF COURSE I AM NOT YELLING BUT I HAVE A BROKEN WRIST SO ITS HARD TO TYPE SO THIS IS EASIER TO DO, SORRY IF YOU TOOK IT THE WRONG WAY. I HAVE THE LEOPARD GECKO BOOK BY PHILLIPPE DE VOSJOLI, ROGER KLINGENBERG,RON TEMPER AND BRIAN VIETS. IS THIS THE BOOK? I THOUGHT THERE WAS MORE MORPHS THAT THAT SO THATS WHY I ASKED. PLUS I AM NOTICING THINGS LIKE BELLS, TREMPER AND LETTERS LIKE( THIS IS A GUESS SHCTC OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT) SO THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE THE PLACE TO ASK. LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T TURN THE CAPS OFF(LOL). I WAS IN A MAJOR SEMI TRUCK ACCIDENT AND HAVE MANY INJURIES( I AM LUCKY TO BE SITTING HERE ABLE TO TYPE AT ALL. I HAVE ADS IN CAPS I HOPE PEOPLE DON'T TAKE THOSE PERSONAL. THANKS AND SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS. BROKEN UP DEB

Well i would upload you some pix but i am to lazy to do that right now, i should also really be getting ready but i guess i am just such a gecko FREAK! haha im probably arround your daughters age, im 18. okay anyways, i house ALL my 23 fatties and leos seperatly. i have two adult racks each are 9 sterilite QT tubs high. i use back heat which was not the best choice for an adult rack becuase i struggle keeping the temps up. i have 2 10 drawer baby racks, thank good they are not full... and they are from boaphileplastics.com however i bought them used for a nice price and made my adult racks. making and buying used saved A LOT OF CA$H. breeders should be a minimum of 50 grams and at THE LEAST a year old. SHCT= Super Hypo Carrot Tail. I think.. I would post pix once again but i really gotta go and i dont move very fast. HAHA. okay i think thats it, I hope im not forgetting anything.

The book you have is a good one, I also have that book and reference it on a daily basis it seems. Also sorry to hear of your misfortune. I was hit head on by a semi while herping a little road in the middle of nowhere in 2003 The guy cut the corner and smashed my little Toyota “God bless Toyotas, I am still driving the car” Anyhow having a semi grill in your face is a hard wake up call to say the least, Hope all goes well and you heal up fast.
