So how do I breed different morphs

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

@@kingomarioliver8765 What are you trying to know? There are certain morphs that make good pairs. Maybe ill do a video on that but if you check out all my morphs videos it shows all the top morphs and which genes are sued to make them, you can pick a design you like and try to go for it! :D here's the full playlist kzbin.info/aero/PLx8bHR1oX-dZR37sI-W1dggSWXot3cV6Y and another playlist on morphs kzbin.info/aero/PLx8bHR1oX-dbGcNuBJAPZklouMjZ5hQWQ

I want to tip my hat to you for the fact that you clearly have a lot of geckos as can be seen by the tracking system you have however after looking at all the geckos you showed it’s clear that they are all very healthy and plump animals unlike a lot of the breeders you see where the animals welfare isn’t cared about too greatly and they are very thin skinny animals, so well done sir 👍🏻

[@lilcar1986]

Hey idk if you remember me but I was the one with the Diablo blanco, and I was wondering if you knew some of these things. I’ve been having trouble with heating and lightning.Here are something’s I need to know. 1:What percent UVB should I use 2: What wattage is best for a foot high tank using a ceramic heat emitter; I appreciate your help and I hope you have a great day!!

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

So, do a youtube search for leoaprd geckos and UVB, there are channels out there that focus on UVB set ups that i think can give you much better advice than myself. "Leopard Gecko" and " Jessicas Animal Friends" are two of those...I dont use UVB and there are a couple things you need to know about supplementation and stuff when using UVB vs not using it, ill leave a video link below to my video on supplementaion. as to your 2nd question, the best heat bulb will be one that gives you a hot spot of 90-100, and ambient hot side temp of around 80-85 and a cool side temp of around 75-80...This needs to be tested out with whatever tank your putting ur gecko in ahead of time so buying a heat gun from amazon or multiple reptile/fish thermometers from amazon will help you manage your heat. Does that make sense?we dont have any videos on heating elements yet because we use ambient room temperature of 85-88 throughout the day and dont use any USB or heat, that video can be checked out below as well. Please let me know if you have more quesstions and also feel free to use youtube to search out some more options as well.

Aw, RIP. Yeah leopard geckos have TONS of combinations u can do. And in my opinion not too many. Like ball pythons is TOO many combos lol, maybe I'm biased because I'm more of a lizard guy 😋 But yeah leopard geckos are super fun. I'll have tons of cool combos and morphs next year for very affordable pricing keep me in mind 😊 Breeding usually starts late December and then we have our first babies around January February and then they continue all year haha.

Im about to start in NZ and am hoping to achieve morphs. We have no complete lines of morphs out side of snows really and even they are dwindling. Ill be watching more of you videos was great to watch. Do you have a straight comparison between a common and a high yellow? Its a little tricky to tell the difference

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

Hm... maybe in some videos in the past im sure ive showed different quality geckos. Actually I have to make my "holdback" video, in that video I will show some amazing high yellow geckos and other colors. But please check out some other videos in our history we show a lot, even on our livestreams which are documented and recorded for rewatching, but I will def try to get some color videos up soon!

Helpful information but I would consider the normal you showed a hypo. A normal leopard gecko would have way more spots which that was is lacking quite a bit.

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

Hi thank you for watching! Yes I agree with you, for the purpose of this video I was just trying to keep it simple for beginners and I did not have any more "normal" looking geckos so I picked this gal, but that being said, we really haven't seen much-updated pics of leopard geckos in the wild for many years I do believe that reduced spotting and pattern alteration is currently going on even in wild populations, so if we were to go to the middle east today in the wild we should find hypos, high patterns, and maybe even some morphs and combos but yes i get the point you are making and appreciate the feedback! :D

Another thing Tangerines/SHCT/SHTCTBs are mutations. It's called hypomelanism. The "normal" you presented is actually a hypo. The tangerine you presented is actually a super hypo or SHTCT.

[@thereptiledude7247]

Tangerine and Carrot tail is called Polygenic or also line bred. A lot of inbreeding to get those however inbreeding in reptiles is a bit different than in humans. Also there are 3 types of albino. If you breed a rainwater to a bell albino the babies will all look normal and you will never know what genetics are what.

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

You are correct! Yeah, look at the black nights, 11 years of inbreeding to achieve what they got going on. But Yes you'll never know the genetics of different albinos paired to each other until you test breed the babies, most people steer away from that, it can be kinda fun to guess and make predictions and then see which predictions pan out but to each their own i suppose :)

[@thereptiledude7247]

@@GeekyGeckoCreations I have bred ball pythons, odds of animals and all that is extremely fun, especially when you're dealing with 5 to 6 gene pairings lol. The problem with breeding the albinos comes later down the genetic line. Once you get a heterozygous albino in there you start getting into more random heterozygous animals and like Forest Gump days,'You never know what you're going to get'.

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

[@gorltbt]

I want to find out if you get a Bell Eclipse as I bought 2 females as Bell, but they both have dark eyes

[@rayquazasawsome1657]

Hey! So my newest gecko is a Sunglow RAPTOR and her eyes are pretty much the exact same as Buddy's (the 50/50 eyes) however, rather than half black half normal, her eyes are half red vein half red (like, albino solid red) I was just asking if this is normal or if there are other genetics that i might not know of, Thanks!!

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

Great question! You got something special there. So Buddy is a normal eclipse, not an albino. When you add the albino gene to the eclipse gene you get red eyes its very cool! Now there are 3 strains or different types of albinos, the most common is "Tremper" and this will produce more of a Ruby red eye, the 2nd is "Bell" and this will produce more of a brighter red eye, and the last is "rainwater" and this will produce again a little bit more darker red eye. The Bell albino has the lightest color eyes, mostly, but as with all genetics sometimes you get outliers and its possible for Trempers to have lighter reds as well. It would be cool to see pics of ur little lady, if u get the chance! Let me know if you ever have any other questions, or if i didnt explain fully to ur understanding =D

[@rayquazasawsome1657]

@@GeekyGeckoCreations Thanks so much! I have an instagram account @the_littlehome_zoo which is pretty much just for my three geckos, Marzi being the Sunglow RAPTOR.

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

@@rayquazasawsome1657 Sorry, yes, sunglow is a term used in leopard geckos to describe a HYPO ALBINO. More specifically the HYPO is very extreme, meaning none, or almost no spotting at all just an all orange gecko...and then combine that with the albino gene, and bam, u get a very nice all orange gecko with little to no patterning :) And yes, RAPTOR stands for Red eye, Albino, Patternless, Tremper, ORange....i capitalized the letters they used to make the acronym sound cool, lol, but yes RAPTORS are albinos with the Tremper gene, RADAR is albino with the Bell gene, and Typhoon is the rainwater albino verision, it might have a nickname similar to the other 2 but i cant seem to remember or find it right now, its not as common as the other 2, yet.

What will you get from crossing a het blazing blizzard male with a het Mack snow female?

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

The word Het usually refers to recessive genes, so the Mack snow is an Incomplete dominant morph, meaning one copy makes a genetic change and 2 copies makes another genetic change. That being said, Ur HET blazzing blizzard means that it is both het for Albino and het for Eclipse, each of those genes have a 50% chance to pass on to the offspring, but since with recessive genes 1 copy does not make a genetic visual change to the animals appearance u cant tell which babies have the single copy gene inside of them, unless you breed to a visual or het verison of the opposite gender. but from your crossing up top Het Albino and Het Eclipse will have a 50% chance to both pass on the offspring but you wont know which offspring have the genes inside of them and since snow is a incomplete dominant gene then only 1 copy is needed to make a visual change and 50% of the babies will be Snow! :D :D

Yeah sure. Blizzard is a recessive gene, so one copy needs to be passed on from the mom and one copy from the dad, so that the baby has 2 copies of the gene, only then can the blizzards display the "blizzard" look.

@@GeekyGeckoCreations i mean what can kind of morph can be mix to get blizzard

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

@@jimzmanobie958 Sorry are you asking what else you can mix with Blizzard? Remember Blizzard is only 2 mutated genes. 1 blizzard gene passed on from the mom and 1 blizzard gene passed on from the dad, that's it, it only takes 2 copies, or 2 genes total to create this morph. From there you can add in Albino, which will give the gecko a "whiter" appearance, and that's another 2 genes, so now 4 genes total, and you can also add in eclipse, that's another 2 genes so now 6 genes total. You can also add in snow and that's another 2 genes for a grand total of 8, but most people don't go that far with blizzard because by the time of the 6 genes it already is pretty much an all white gecko.

@@GeekyGeckoCreations i mean sir, what morph pairing can produce blizzard, coz i read it before Jay from Prehistoric Pets made the first Blizzard, correct men if im not

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

@@jimzmanobie958 Yeah Jay is pretty cool, i follow his channel too. I guess im still a little confused by ur question because blizzard is its own gene, it does not take different combos to make it, it is its own independent mutation.

[@samtj5022]

Why are their eyes so intense? Does that serve a purpose? Gwen wants to know why do they look like a snake? Alex says, why is its tail weird? Lol.

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

LOL 🤣🤣

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

@@samtj5022 Yeah their eyes are very intense with lots of blood vessels and like Marbled patterning, I can't say why that is per se, but tell Gwen they are "dusk" hunters when the light is low quality so maybe all those blood vessels in their eyes create a kind of "marbled" pattern visually when we look at them, but also help the gecko see in low light conditions...and as for Alex, HAHA, yes! A lot of people think their tails are funny too =P but they are actually functionally "wide" because they store nutrients in their tail so that when they cant get food in the wild, they can absorb that nutrition from their tails into their bodies for food! 😊😊

[@graphitenotwo]

That last base one you were tugging the tail a lot. Why? Why almost exclusively pull the tail. I like your vids a lot but it seems like you’re trying to get them to drop it. It gives me crazy anxiety personally. If you’re confident in yourself then I trust it and I’m still gonna watch but when I see you pull the tail I do get kinda scared. Also idk if you have but if you could do a section of a video about Murphys Patternless leopard geckos and the genes of it? That’s the morph I have and wanna see your take on it.

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

Yeh I will def try to single out the Murphys as time goes on, personally I have no Murphys I choose to keep Blizzard instead which is pretty close but they are both great genes. Murphys can pair good with Black night, Tangerine, albino, snow, and WY would be my top picks. Yes I am sorry to stress you out about the tail, but I assure you the tail is very solid as adults and I would NEVER handle a baby this way. For telling the gender of females you have to lift the tail over and over again and you get used to it, you hold firm, but you don't squeeze, hold it lightly in your hand and ive never had one even come clsoe to dropping it, their tail is very secure and I am very gentle, feeling the geckos every move if he/she gets stressed and releasing the tail right away and putting the gecko down gently. But thanks for ur support and ill def try to get some MP stuff in the future! :D

[@graphitenotwo]

@@GeekyGeckoCreations I appreciate your reply. I’ve also been doing more research about my gecko. I really can’t tell what morph she is. She’s either a patternless or a midnight blizzard. Normally when patternless are babies they have patterns that eventually go away. She was a baby when I got her and still isn’t fully grown yet but she’s always been without a pattern. Just a straight dark purple. Sometimes it’s darker and other times it’s paler even when she isn’t entering shed. It’s kinda hard to tell what she is exactly. I wish I could find out definitively.

[@graphitenotwo]

@@GeekyGeckoCreations if you wanna wait for her to get a bit older then maybe I could show her to you and see what you think. I’ve seen pics of ones that look similar but still can’t tell if she’s patternless or a blizzard. I’ve never seen a leopard gecko that looks just like her.

The first one you showed looks like an enigma.

[@chrisherrala4121]

I'm new to the channel and I'm guessing you don't breed. But one thing I suggest If fyou ever will or are considering breeding I suggest not breeding white and yellow, lemon frost and enigmas. Enigmas have enigma sindrome wich can cause them to have trouble hunting and glass surf and other mental islnesses as well. Lemon frosts I have to agree are the most beautiful geckos ever and I would love to have one but I don't because I don't support the breeding of them. They are known for having cancer a lot if your rescuing these types of geckos then good for you!! Just a tip

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

Thank you! Yes I was aware of the Lemon frost issues as well as the Enigma issues but never saw any issues with WY. I heard one time someone mention it but never seen any videos or anything on their side effects.

[@chrisherrala4121]

Ive heard from some people they have neurological dissorders but with the right care I'm sure they will do fine!

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

@@chrisherrala4121 Yeah I remember when I first got into leopard geckos, I didn't hear anything about WY problems, but then recently I was scrolling or watching some video, and I remember hearing some one say that WY has problems but mainly if u breed the WY back to the WY again creating a super form. But then again I've only heard this one time in my few years of research now, so it's possible maybe some people have had issues with the WY gene, but its also possible maybe the problems in those geckos that those people were referring to could have been caused by other genetic genes or defects already present in the geckos DNA. I have a few WY leopard geckos now, my one adult and some of his babies, no issues that I can see so far, a matter of fact probably the calmest gecko I have in my collection is a Juvie WY that I noticed this year was noticeably calmer than all other baby leos and adult leos ove had in the past so thats cool cu I love to document new knowledge and observations. But believe me, if I notice a problem with WY ill def mention it on my channel, because I love to inform, educate, and document my experiences for others to learn from when I can, so thanks for bringing the whole topic up so I can be that much more aware of my observations towards the gene 😁🦎🦎

[@TheMrLapidus]

I have leapoard geckos and my son wanted to see other morphs. The visula quality of this video is very nice, but it's quite inaccurate in terms of content. Biological terms, gens, mutation etc. were thrown randomly in every second sentence and I'm not even sure if it's correct. "The snow" was a bit common. I guess what we are seeing is a levender mack snow. "The blizzard" looked rather as a Murphy's Patternless. I'm saying this because of the nosie in the color. Anyhow it can be a blizzard if the parants are tested and it is proven what they are.

@@GeekyGeckoCreations when I’m older I would love to breed leopard geckos they are dope! What would happen if u breed a bell albino to a tangerine

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

@@rhysmyers6025 Yeah great hobby! Bell is one of the 3 types of albinos in leopard geckos. All 3 are different mutations and cannot combine with each other to produce visual albinos. Albino is a Recessive mutation meaning it takes 1 copy to pass from the dad and mom each to get a visual albino animal. So if you bred a tangerine non bell to a bell gecko, you'd get all tangerine 100% HET Bells, which means each baby carries 1 copy of the gene but is not a visual albino since albino requires 2 copies. I have 4 genetic videos on my channel explaining genetics pretty well check em out if you want :) Goodday :D

You're totally exaggerating the bite of these animals. Tokay Geckos can bite with enough force to emit blood, these cannot. Stop scaring people. I've been bitten by several type of Leopard Geckos and at worse it feels like a hard pinch with no blood at all.
