FACEAnthrax Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 nice looking animal. what is her weight and any eggs yet ... Thanks . She's very friendly too. Nope haven't seen any eggs yet at all. She's between 45-50 grams so just really hit breeding weight now. Although I do not plan on breeding her myself.

A female I got recently was producing viable eggs at just over 30g, surprisingly to me. . I assume they still produce eggs even if not mated. 50g + seems the recommended weight online/overseas.

Yea they still produce infertile eggs, haven't had any slugs from any of my adult females yet (beardies too). The only ones I've had are couple of infertile ones from a breeding pair of coastals I had. 30g is pretty small for one to start producing would be surprising, hope you fattened her back up with lots of wax worms .

Insect Direct Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 she has put condition on despite laying (almost 40g now) 8 eggs so far and looks like another 2 coming. I use crickets 99% of the time here. Better to condition an animal with quality food rather than high fat less natural foods like mealworms and waxworms I find.

I normally feed locusts that I breed myself, but have been feeding a lot more crickets from a breeder here as of recent (the reps were getting bored of their food), they're bloody noisy though lol.

alanmin4304 Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 It's a good looker with a fat tail. I had some where the white extended a bit further than usual--a bonus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Is indeed. Almost looks as if the young mack snow male I got from you is doing the same. yes same mack snow as above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrysHerps Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 My first 2 week old baby from my hypomelonistic father :bggrn: SHOULD loose most or all its patterns by about two months. Can see already his markings are lighter and more brown/grey than black. And a SUPER SUPER MACK SNOW!! :slfg: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reptilez Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Very nice leo HarrysHerps. I saw a picture of your male leo that you are talking about and it makes me wonder how they are in NZ already. I mean it had practically no black spots on it. :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrysHerps Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Thanks man, yea the morph game is sometimes unpredictable, i got him when he still had some spots and was very young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insect Direct Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Just watched this 'male' I got from Alan be mated by another MALE :dnc1: :sml1: Macksnow 'male' looks female too. I've seen it all now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insect Direct Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 So the male you purchased from Alan is a female? 95% sure both are females. Here I was thinking Alan had a new way of determining the sex of young geckos. Or I watched two males go at it < very unlikely but anything is possible, so I tell myself. Been waiting for obvious sexual dimorphism from both. Still waiting, oh I did suspect this one to be forming eggs inside her belly. Yesterday put with my confirmed male and they mated straight away. So fairly certain 'he' is a she. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two other people i know and myself purchased so called males which ended up being females. I think at this stage selling them as unsexed is the best bet.

Insect Direct Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Oh really, that is no good at all, wonder if the same deal with the beardies. I'd be slightly annoyed if I didn't already have a male. Sort of wanted to try other combinations too but oh well. Should be more eggs than expected for me this year. Just put the 'macksnow' and my male together and sure enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 can be a fine line between in condition and skinny/fat what do people think about this one ... turns out she is now one of the better breeders of the 8/9 females i have. these are from her - just hatched this morning.
