Massive update coming!!

We haven't been updating the website too often (everything has been on the facebook fan page!) but promise to at least update the available geckos this week. I have been contemplating changing to a new hosting server and redoing the website from scratch so I don't want to spend a lot of time updating what will soon be deleted. 

Just to give you an idea of what has been happening...
We've already hatched over 30 crested geckos so far this season, with over 40 eggs incubating. 
Our gargoyles are laying and we hope to have a few hatch next month.

We are looking to expand our pinstripe project as we've just hatched out our first 2 100% pinstripe babies from GT x Shelby! Here's one of them Boss [302]: 

We have a new breeder weight female we are going to put with GT just to see what happens in a few weeks after her quarantine is up. This is Cream Puff.


 We also purchased two sub-adult female reds, Fruit Loops & Red Velvet, who will be paired with Sebastian next season. They are HOT.  [This is Fruit Loops, NOT fully fired!]

On the selling side....
We will be putting our beautiful Barracuda up for sale, as we have ended up with too many male pinstripes. If Bert ends up being male, we will be selling him too. 
Lots of little ones sold this weekend at AAE... but there are still some left that will be put into the available album.

We are looking to getting a bigger space to expand breeding next year... :)

LGP went to AAE

And came back with only 3!!

We had an amazing time talking with people about our geckos and many even took a piece of LGP with them :)

Look who found a new home today!
Taz, Minnie, Jerry, Oberweis, Ernie, Mario, and Natasha
Annex: Dotty, Bill, Batista, Deb, Billy Bob, Aphrodite

Still looking for a home:
Barney, Tom, and Oscar (but I might just hold on to that one...)
Annex: Stripey

In case you haven't noticed on either Facebook or on our available page... there is now The Annex of LGP Gecko. This portion does not live at LGP, rather they are all Ryan's sister's geckos who live about 20 minutes away. We will be adding a sub-page so you can check out those breeding pairs as well. She has an AMAZING pinstripe pairing from Andrew Schnell. They have had four offspring so far, we bought one (Chevelle) and they were the first 3 off the table at AAE yesterday. For those of you who don't know what AAE is... it's Scott's All Animal Expo held in Wheaton, IL at the Dupage County Fairgrounds the first Saturday and third Sunday of each month.  It was our first time vending there today, however, we go constantly!


In other news, we have added 2 new gargoyles to the mix with three more to be shipped once weather permits.

This big lady (50 grams so far...) is Cinnamon. We thought this was her fired up because she had such bright white and those Cinnamon Sticks down her back. Later on she showed us that she has some more burgundy/red tones in her. She has an amazing personality.

This little one still doesn't have a name. I could tell, despite being totally fired down when I bought her, that she was red. Sure enough....
We're in need of a food name for this one (most likely a girl). Any ideas?


These next three are currently in the hands of Tiger Onzuka (GeckoLovers.com) and will be coming to us once the weather cooperates!

Male:
Male:
(Doesn't he look like Darkwing but only with Red Splotches??? You can see where this is going)


Female (in shed)


If you cant' already tell, we are VERY excited to get started breeding Gargoyle geckos!! We have three RTB females just waiting here for the guys above.... 1 female who will be ready in a few months, and 2 little ones (who I'm going to guess at this point are females) for next year!!

Garfield and Penelope are going to be heading over to the Annex next week, we look forward to seeing what they produce!

Our breeding season has begun!!! Just to clear the air, we have NEW breeder females beginning to lay as they came to weight at the end of last season and have begun laying as of last month (some of them). We also have 2 females who cooled for 6 months and 1 for 3 months. (Only 4 veterans/proven) I know some people are like "Um... it's still winter?!" Not in our house, it's perfect temperature for them!

As of right now we have...
4 Eggs from our dalmatians: Chips x Rafiki
2 Eggs from our reds: Sebastian x Iago
4 Eggs from our high contrast harley: Spike x Aladdin
2 Eggs from our tri color harley: Spike x Pineapple
2 Eggs from our darks : Goliath x Tails
2 Eggs from an experiment: Spike x Raja
2 Eggs from our darks: Baloo x Mowgli

Doughball and Gambit both paid a visit to their layboxes but nothing yet....
Ariel, Brooklyn, and Nala have yet to lay. Sarabi will most likely be paired with Mufasa by March and Shelby with GT.

Whew, I think I'm done typing for now...
