Expanding the colony.

Dedalus Mar 11, 2004 09:29 PM

OK time to expand my leo colony. Looking for info from all you guys n girls out there.

A)Blizzard
B)Albino
C)Tangerine

I love all 3 but I only have free cash for one. All can be bought as month olds for 80 bucks. I'm leaning towards blizzard or albino because I won't know how "tangerine" my gecko will be and if it's even worth spending the cash. I'm assuming the albino's are tremper line as they already have solid banding. The blizzards look great, no brown in them at all just pure white but I know they can get darker with age. What do you guys think?

Well my newest addition to my extended gecko family was Starlight my blizzard I bought my boyfriend as a late (very late lol) valentines present. I myself already have two albinos and I'm going to get another one because I think they are beautiful, but I absolutley love our new blizzard! So I guess that didn't help, but I'd say get a Blizzard because I just got one!! I dunno, do what you want, but either way you will be happy!

I was really thinking about a blizzard, But the albino would be nice to.... Then again I can always buy another one in a few weeks (my buddy is the herp manager so I can get them in anytime and they don't stay at the pet store). So many geckos not enough money.

you have a "Gimpy" too. Mine also happens to be a female high yellow. The poor bugger has never done really well.

My poor Gimpy would be a very pretty pastel if she had been treated right earlier in life. But she is my friendliest gecko, she sits outside of her house all day and watches me when I'm on the computer!

Wow. Thats scary. My favorite best tempered female, is a high yellow named Gimpy. Growing up she always had leg problems, and doesn't walk upright, she almost slithers. I guess the guy I got her from dropped her as a baby.

I would get a blizzard though. From what I've heard, they change colors with moods. All do that, but withthe blizard I guess you can tell more because it is a blank template.
