Future breeding

HERE you can learn how to find a reptile vet in your area. You’re in New England so I’m pretty sure you should be able to find one, there are a zillion major metropolitan areas in driving distance.

Make a slurry of watery Grub Pie and feed it to them drop by drop with a 1 ml oral syringe (no needle!). You can also do short, daily soaks in clean, room temperature water.

I do not recommend feeding waxworms to leopard geckos under any circumstance. They should be eating appropriately dusted silk worms or small hornworms, Black Soldier Fly Larvae, or gut loaded and appropriately dusted dubia or crickets. Uneaten crickets should never be left in their enclosures as they can eat through your gecko’s skin.

I mean this in the nicest way possible that you don’t seem to understand much about leopard gecko husbandry or breeding yet, and you really should know a lot more before you try and breed them.

I’m pretty sure I’ve explained before that you cannot tell if an animal is heterozygous for a recessive trait, such as Eclipse. What I said is that the albino looks lavender- in leopard geckos, ‘Lavender’ is just a phenotypic description. I have no way of knowing if it is het for Eclipse- you told me that. RAPTOR = Tremper + Eclipse. A “Tremper het RAPTOR” is a slang way of saying the animal is Tremper het Eclipse. The non-albino is probably not a Carrot Tail, but it is hard to tell because she’s missing the end of her tail. A Carrot Tail is defined as a tail that is 15% (or more) orange. There’s no way to know for sure, as she doesn’t have her full tail. I would not call her a Carrot Tail personally.

EDIT: Don’t get discouraged! Everybody starts somewhere, and you already have 3 geckos to learn from, so you’re on your way! :+1:
