Hey guys,

I know these are almost as elusive as Blazings, I have yet to see pictures. I know CrestedGecko claims to have produced them, but I have also heard rumours that their bloodline is tainted with Rainwater genes.

If anyone could post a picture of some, as hatchlings and adults, I would greatly appreciate it.

Steven, be very careful with rumors. When you put them on this forum, immediately, they get a life of their own.

The herp community is very tainted (heck, extremely tainted) with rumor-mongering and petty jealousies - I'd hate to see this one get overblown.

I've had people come up to me and totally rip a friend of mine (they didn't know they were my friends) over something as simple as a tangerine line of leopard geckos. Worst was - the rip wasn't even true.

I think Garrick has earned the respect of the herping community to be given a couple benefits of the doubt.

I like you bud - but I don't think that whispering rumors is a way to treat a fellow herper.,

Just my opinion.

Garrick replied earlier to this topic in an earlier thread. Understandibly he is very busy this time of year. I will see him this Thursday at his place and will, upon his approval, get some pics to post. Please read his earlier reply.

I missed his reply, but more importantly I wanted to avoid simply getting "garrick has some" replies.

I should have worded myself better, I truly didn't mean to slam him. I have always respected his work and his animals.

Hey everyone. I did respond a few weeks ago to the post about my Tremper Patternless Albinos. Here's a repost of my original response.

It sounds like there is a lot of debate over my Tremper Patternless Albinos and with good reason, considering their rarity. Here is the story of how I produced mine:

I bought a male Tremper albino from Ron in '99. In 2000, I bred him to several female patternless breeders that I had in my collection since '97. I produced a number of double het offspring from this breeding. I raised up several groups of females and a couple of males. In 2001, I bred them together and produced Tremper albinos, patternless, and normals- no patternless albinos. In the fall of 2001, I purchased a subadult female Tremper Patternless Albino from Golden Gecko. Mark told me he produced 4 that year. I bred her to a super hypo carrottail in 2002- producing only 2 eggs, both of which hatched out male, one of which is a super hypo carrottail. In 2002, I bred my double het groups together again. In June of 2002, I hatched a TREMPER PATTERNLESS ALBINO from the group of double hets- the ones I produced here from breeding my original Tremper albino male to patternless females. He turned out to be a male. Now, in 2003, I'm breeding him to the Patternless Albino female purchased from Golden Gecko and 2 Albino possible het for patternless that were produced from double het to double het breeding. As of May 27th, I've produced 8 TREMEPER PATTERNLESS ALBINOS, none of which are for sale yet. These are True Trempers unless Ron's albinos are tainted with the Rainwater strain and I think we all know how unlikely that is. I'll have some available for sale later this summer. As for pricing, although they are much rarer than the Rainwaters, I didn't feel like the market would handle a huge price difference, considering they are fairly similar to the Rainwaters. Anyway, I hope this clears some of the speculation up.

Update: I hatched another one today!

If anyone would like to see some photos, I have a few on my website, www.crestedgecko.com on the leopard gecko photo page. Just click on photo gallery while you are on the leopard gecko page.

Thanks,
