DUDE... talk about "fired up"!

But really... he is freakin' awesome looking!  I wanna know when you get eggs!

[portal_reptiles]

I have some now just not from that female, I just added her to the group

I personally don't like the 75% Cresteds... I don't mind the 50/50 at all, but I think it should stop there personally, after that they just start looking too much like a crested gecko again.  That 50/50 is crazy nice looking though.

its the only way to get female hybrids, i will be taking that back into the 50/50 cross from one of the other hybrids...i dont wanta linebreed to much, a 50/50 X 25/75 cross is what im goin for

Ok, understandable... I just know poeple out there are going to overbreed the hybrids and down the road we are going to end up with like 10% Chahoua and 90% Crested.  That's why I don't mind the 50/50, and even the 25/75 isn't too bad, but then the people who are going to start doing the 75/25 with cresteds, then the next generation with cresteds, that's all. 

[portal_reptiles]

i will be taking the 25/75 and breeding back into a chahoua or back into the 50/50 to get the % back to a even level..

[smith710]

No no, I know YOU will... It's everybody else. People will breed anything with anything they can to make a quick buck, that's what I was saying.

[portal_reptiles]

very true.......i will be carefull, at one of my shows i was told that a preson wanted one of the hybrids i took to the show, but everyone said dont sell it to them....guess they are the type of person your talking about. I do think one problem is anyone can make them, so i do think that people could do this and not be truthful about what it is. I mean we see this all the time with the WC reptiles sold as captive everyday

[smith710]

Exactly... It's too hard to trust anybody in this hobby unless they are extremely well known, and even then there are times where you don't know if you can trust them.

[justanotherfroginthepond]

awww.... come on, Lance....    'ya KNOW you can trust ME!        lol...  It is true, unfortunately.  I mean, Lance, I trust.  It's the people that could buy them that I'd worry about! 

I'll tell 'ya, though... everytime I look at that pic, I'm one JEALOUS gal!!
