So i picked up a male sunglow today to pair up with my female sunglow. I was hoping it would be from the tremper line but (like my female) but up close his eyes have a definate pink tinge to them. Oh well I am sure the two will produce some cute little hypo hets and maybe even a sunglow... The male is the dull coloured one as he is nearing a shed but his tail is a crisp solid white once shed. He weighs in at 56g and my fatty female is a whopping 93g! This pic was their first meeting and it didn't last night as he was starting to get frisky! His tail was slapping the ground at a record speed!

Hi, its definitely a beautiful gecko thumbs up

But a few things you should know:
Firstly, he shouldn't have been anywhere near your other gecko's as of yet. Any new gecko's should go through at least a month or two of quarantining. This means seperate enclosures, a distance away and hand washes inbetween handling. The reason being is, if he has an illness, then you have just doubled your vet bill by letting him meet another gecko.

Secondly, since you don't know his albino strain, (and you also suspect it is not the same strain as the one you plan to breed to) then they should not be bred. Albino strains should not mix at all. It only serves to create genetic mutts, either useless genetics or unknown.

You have a lovely gecko. But your pairing would be a big mistake. Please consider it. Smile

Beautiful geckos, I love sunglows Smile

But 1 to what Jordan said, you shouldn't mix different albino genes. It's possibly the #1 no no's to breeding leopard geckos. Other than that, they are awesome looking geckos.
