Well I don't know if this is normal but it has small orange spots all over its tail and it also has a solid orange ring at the part where the tail attaches to the body . Has this happened to any one esles albino before?

That is a fairly normal occurance in leos. Not a problem, not an advantage.

If it starts to cover more than 20-25% of the tail, then you have something to brag about.

Well I just thought it was kinda cool because I have never seen an Albino with orange on any part of its body before .

This is Vivid, one of my tang albino holdbacks from this year

Hay,
I love that gecko ! I have been on the forum for about 8 months and remember when you posted it as a hatcling and then u getting all excited about it being a Hybino ! LOL Just had to tell u how good she/he looks !

1.0 Tangerine
0.3.3 Hi-Yellow
1.1 Tangerine Tremper Albinos
0.1 Patternless 66%het. Tremper Albino

Hopefully 1.1 Super Hypo Tangerine Baldy Carrot-tail from Kirks Herps !

It is fun watching him grow, he gets more tang over those pink bands and more orange on that tail every week!

Cool leo, Starling. I know Kelli is working on CT Binos.

Thanks Steven. Kelli produces awesome animals, I was looking into something from her, I wanted a double het from that orange patternless she had on loan for breeding, but she doesn't work with Tremper, and I work exclusively with Tremper, so we did not have a match. I am working towards more and more carrot and hybino in my tang albino line (and of course, always trying to increase that orange)

I just ordered my shipping supplies from Superior Enterprises, will be setting up my Kingsnake Classified account and begin selling some 2003 gex soon, and maybe a couple 2002's. I read your post on the box size and got the 3/4". I got a box of 40 hour heat packs for when the weather gets cooler, when do you start using those?

I am about to set up a website and the a classified account, and have pretty much the same questions ! I was wondering how many leos could the diffrent size boxes hold ? Also when to use a heat pack and when to use a cold pack ?

Thanks,
Nick

OK, help me out here, I post a lot on several different forums.

What 3/4" size are you talking about and which box post? Are you talking about my s snakes s post?

Anyway, It will be a couple of weeks before heat packs really need to be used. Cool conditions for a day or two should not adversely affect a leo. Heck, what about that person that had their leos in the mail system for two weeks? I am starting to wonder if priority would not be an OK way to ship for in and next state situations! I get priority packages next day from CA shipments all the time. But I digress into dangerous territory.

If the temps will get below 60 and for sure 50 then it would be required. Remember though, the animals are in an insulated box and are inside a building or car 99% of the time. Even 40's drop off pretty quickly. Very hot in the beginning so you can't have them right underneath where then need to be when they taper off at the end. Now if someone could develope a heat pack that had a thermal regulation mechanism........

I don't recall which post, you were recommending getting the 3/4" foam rather than the 1/2" foam.

I think it's great that those leos survived two weeks, but I have also heard of stories where a package took 2 or three days instead of overnight and the leos arrived dead...

Dang!
