Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I am as pumped up as I have EVER been when it comes to breeding reptiles! I have been working on Amel Eastern Kings since 2006. I have finally produced my first visual female. This was a very weak gene in my opinion when I started working with it. It has been out-crossed with two NC females to strengthen the bloodline. Here are my future Amel Eastern King breeders! Female first x 2, then the male. I have produced a total of 7 visual males and no females. I do have het females this season. I am hoping she the same female is gravid with another clutch.

Looking Good! I was wondering if you have a visual adult? How much pink do they retain?

I have an adult male. He has no pink coloration at all.

Hi Shane, that's a beautiful animal. Isn't it exciting when years of hard work pay off with something that regenerates all your excitement for breeding!

Seems the odds of getting all 7 males is something like one in 128, did I calculate that right? Are there any other breeding results to suggest it might be a sex-linked recessive trait?

The beautiful locale-specific Lgg I got from you several years ago are continuing a happy and productive existence in several people's hands. Thanks again.

Hi Terry. Hard work does pay off. I have never bred that male to any other females. I seem to lose most of the eggs from that pairing each year.
