Everyone has heard of the Blazing Blizzard with Ruby red eyes. The only way I can figure how someone breaded such a creature was by mixing a Chinese Leopard Gecko with some type of regular Leopard Gecko. Has anyone attempted this before?

If you raised them together from hatchling to adult, wouldnt there tempermants for each other be good?? I am going to try it but I was wondering if anyone else has ever attempted this.

THanks,

what is the world makes you think that if you breed those two together you get blazing blizzard which is produced from blizzard and albino.

Leopard Geckos have certain traits. There are several different species of Leopard geckos that can be found around the world. Many of the color/pattern variations that you find on the pet trade cannot be found in the wild. They are creations of people breeding and mixing. Somewhere along the way either by a freak accident or mixing with something else that has the trait, the red eyes were fed into the bloodline. The only leopard gecko that I have seen with this trait is the Chinese leo.

I am not claiming to know the formula to create Blazing Blizzards or other exotic leopards. If I did I wouldnt be discussing it on this forum. However I was just curious if anyone has attempted this before. Its like breeding two different types of dogs. Sure is doesnt happen every day but how else do you think Muts are created?

Dogs are all the same thing. They're all the same species. They're all dogs. Canis familiaris.

Despite the fact that they share a common name, the common leopard and the Chinese leopard are no more closely related than a dog and a racoon. 'Chinese leopard geckos' is probably a marketing scheme name anyway, much like the 'Chinese cornsnake'.
People call exotic herps familiar names to get people to buy them... Sometimes these names are completely misleading.
Morphs come from random genetic changes within a species, not from other species. This happened in dogs too, people just had a lot more time to work with them. All Eublepharis morphs came from freak Eublepharis. It's just a historical fact.

animals rarely interbreed with animals that arnt the same species, and if they do, they will not produce babies unless they are in the same genus and you are very lucky. i don't know of any lizards that have been bred interspecies, but i know lots of snakes have. buttercorns, i believe, though im not certain, are a mix between a cornsnake and a yellow rat snake. ratsnakes and corns are interbreed all the time. the chinese leopard gecko and the common leopard gecko are not close enough genetically to produce fertile eggs. you will be lucky if you can get infertile eggs at most. fat-tails and leos will interbreed, but will not produce fertile eggs.

They're two completely different lizards that just happen to share a name. The blazing blizzard is a pure leopard gecko.
