Flare's Exotics 2024 Plans (Hopefully)

Geckos Crested Geckos

This upcoming year will be my first year breeding Cresties, as long as everything goes to plan.
I only have one pairing, but I’m hoping to get some nice geckos from it to holdback and breed in the future.

Coco (Not fully fired in that pic, but the best one I have of her)

I’m planning on holding back any lillies, at least until I see their genders. I’m really hoping for Lilly Whites that have Coco’s base color and pattern.
As for future geckos, I’m hoping to eventually bring in a red spot dal for Starfall, and possibly a tricolor as well. Any input on what you guys would think would be a nice gal for him would be greatly appreciated!

Keep in mind babs will have spots also. It’s not always desirable especially in Lillie’s unless ones like phantoms with red spots etc. so may be harder for you to sell x

Both lovely through. X

I am aware of the spots, I myself don’t mind them (And would love if Starfall’s red spots transferred to his babies) but I know they aren’t super great in other people’s eyes.

The very best of luck to you @indiflare for a successful breeding project! Your cresties are very pretty and I think they will produce babies to die for! :clap::100:

I agree, the Lilly White babies will likely be harder to sell due to Dalmatian as this is not a desirable trait for lilly whites. However… You may decide to keep them all :wink:

But I am one of those that does not like spots on my Geckos, unless it is a light patternless. Just seems a waste, having spots if you can’t see it.

At the end of the day, I’d always recommend breeding for something you like, rather than breeding for the sake of others. Just remember that you may have lots of Geckos to keep :grin:

I mean, the plan is to hold any lillies, at least until I know what they are lol. (Although I don’t actually know if I want to keep a male or a female…)

I took so long to find a perfect name for me. First it was Super City Skinks, then Super Skinks, Then Super City Reptiles, then Toad Town Herps, then back to Super City Reptiles.

I mean, that’s basically mine :joy:
Flare is the name I use for pretty much everything online, so naturally, it’s also going to be my store name.

I don’t know where to put this so it’s going here, but y’all should have warned me how big an 18x18x24 tank is. I did not think it was going to be as big as it is :joy:

Also, please don’t be mean that this is my first experience with one, I haven 12x12x18s, and haven’t upgraded yet.

Have you learned anything in your time here? :rofl::joy: you should know by now there is nothing to worry about unless you are being purposefully neglectful.

Also, I know right! I still find it surprising how big my 17x16x21 inch enclosure is compared to my gecko who is like 30 grams!
