Isk had all Isk can stands.....

DanTheFireman Mar 20, 2004 07:17 AM

And Isk can't stands no more. First off, I am STILL looking for some true jungle/striped Rainwater (Las Vegas) females for my redstripe breeding project. The same ads keep popping up in the classifieds but they are not true genetic jungles - by Ron Tremper's definition. Upon emailing one of the dealers he got bent, and placed a footnote on his ad saying; "Unless you have 10 years breeding experience, don't speak for Ron Tremper." Well, I have 16 years breeding experience so thank you for the floor. I purchased my first jungles in like '95 or so at the Expo in Orlando from Ron where I sold for several years as The Outback Snakehouse,Inc.in the state of FL. To quote The Leopard Gecko Manual pg. 60 "The jungle phase gecko is a highly variable gecko with irregular, asymmetrical, and dark body blotches and a non-ringed tail." When some kid saves up to buy a pair of jungles, waits a year and then produces all normals - c'mon. You see the big tizzy on the tang. patternless debate and that's way more subjective than this. BTW Kelli, any RW stripes yet? Here's a pic of one of my non-jungles. Prospective breeders, do your homework and defensive dealers please remove foot from mouth.

I'm not trying to hijack your thread. It is very exciting to see what your plans are(RW red racing stripes). I only have the one female stripe, I was looking and she was the only one I could find in the off season that I would call a stripe or jungle. I am breeding her to this male. He is a hypo stripe het for RW. I can't wait for hatchlings. She is just days away from laying her first clutch. The waiting is the worst part

Nice!! Will watch your ads. Sure you don't need any PA's, carrots, tangs etc. If you work more with them then you won't need her and I'd give her a good home.

Thats probably one of the nicest Rainwaters I think I have seen in a long while. Very nicely done. Can't wait to see what all you produce this year.

Thanx guys. I guess some of us are never happy. My warped brain sez " not good enough, gotta have a striped tail and make more even better. " That's what keeps it interesting.
