Introducing Phoenix

Triad Mar 17, 2005 05:48 PM

I just got Phoenix all settled in about 10 minutes ago. He's got a food and water dish, I'm working on humid hide now. He's got a coconut hide and a heat bulb. He's on paper towel.

He's got this little ramp thing to climb on.

Here he is (what do you think of his morph, the girl working at Petco who also breeds her own 27 leopard gecko's said that he's a rain water albino).

And here are some of my best friend Courtney and my other leopard gecko, Kalypso (normal morph)

Looks cute! I think its a bell also. Bells have red coloring mixxed in the white bands. Trempers do not.

If he is from petco, it is a tremper albino.
Those are the only strain there.

Actually this petco gets shipments of mixed leopard gecko babies. They have gotten tremper albino's, bell albino's, rain water albino's, carrot tails. They've gotten almost all the strands of leopard geckos through there at one time or another.

Then later in the year they get the actual breeders themselves.

I highly dought they would get any bells. Trempers can vary greatly in how they look espeacialy as babies.
Is it just the girl who works there saying what they are or are they atually coming in labeled?

It's the girl who works there. She's got 27 leopard gecko's of her own that she breeds from time to time so she should be familiar with the different morphs.

Quick Question: I'm used to feeding Kalypso wax worms and crickets. I'm going to go buy some small crickets later today, so here's my question: Will Phoenix stop eating when he's full or will he just eat to eat?

I just don't want him getting too full or sick or anything and how many crickets, how many times a day? Kalypso eats crix one day then wax the next so she's got a good regimine.

the breeder would know (at least better than anyone else) what strain he is, never go on appearance.

He's really cute Triad!

To be honest with you, from what I can see of the picture he looks like a Tremper. If you can get a closer picture it will be easier to tell.
