313. And now for somemore stunning Trempers

We reckon we have had about 25 Tremper hatchlings so far this season. This one hatched 28/06/2012 and is the offspring of Jungle rock and Max planck. Has been given the name Riposte. He/she has some nice red eclipse eyes. Incubation took 50 days and looks a near 4 gram babe.

312. Downtown boy or girl

Derived from some jargon used in an olympic sport this is Downtown. Another rugged fine looking wild type from Whoopi and Kabul our Afghanicus male. Incubation took 50 days and pretty much looks like a standard 3 gram hatchling.

311. This one has a full tail

This is Spraydeck who is the sibling to the baby in post 310. Therefore all the same biography apart from hatching out one day later on 25/06/2012. Again looks a good 3 grams at hatch.

310. Hatchlings trapped tail trauma.

This baby Mack Snow that hatched out on 24/06/2012 ended up loosing the end of its tail after we trapped it in the incubator box lid. We are hoping the trauma won't hold it back from growing to maturity. As he/she is a bit of a warrior we have given it the name of Sparta. Parents are Maggie and Rob Roy. With its tail attached we reckon it must have been a good 3 gram at hatch after 45 days in the incubator.

309. Anybody for a bit of Olympic volleyball?

Here is Vollyball who is the sibling to the baby in post 308. She/he is what we would call a standa banda Tremper red eyed eclipse. She arrived just a few hours later than the baby in post 308 so identical biographic details.

308. It's the Lowestoft jungle gecko

We are doing quite well for red eyed Tremper jungle eclipses this season. this is Penhold who is our latest baby to show some jungle patterning. She/he hatched out early mornoing 21/06/2012. Estimate she was about 3 gram at hatch. She comes from Diva and Max Planck.

307. Tro-Jan looks like her sibling

This is Tro-Jan who is the sibling to the baby in post 305. As you might she is remarkably similar and hopefully another broad striper. Even better if redness emerges. once again fingers are tightly crossed. Only difference Tro-Jan has in biography compared to the sibling is an extra days incubation at 47 days. Hatch was on 18/06/2012.

306. New arrival from Moscow.

Well fairly new arrival is our Moscow. This baby was found to have hatched out when we did the incubator check after returning from the Doncaster reptile show 17th June 2012. Dam is Meriva and the Sire is our pesky little Afghan terrorist Kabul. Looked a good 3 gram at hatch which was following 48 days in the incubator.

305. Swing high sweet Chariot

And a nice looking Leo our Chariot is. He/she was found hatched out at about 4 in the morning, when we did the rounds before setting off for the Doncaster reptile show, Sunday 17th June 2012. Would estimate hatch weight was a pretty box standard 3 gram following 48 days of incubation. Parents are Bingo (Dam) and Dinkum (Sire). Looks like this one has inherited the bold stripe appearance from the Dam. Maybe it will fade into red stripe and inherit that characteristic from the Sire. Fingers are crossed for a bit of that!

304. Third and final hatch on the thirteenth

This baby was our third hatch of the day 13/06/2012. Expecting this will fade out into a hypo. We estimate the hatch weight was 3 gram after 60 days in the incubator. that is our longest incubation, to date, this season. Parents are Lulu and Helios. We have given this one the name Polydamos.

303. Flo Jo trails in behind sibling.

This bewt is the sibling to the baby in post 302 and hatched a couple of hours later. So exact same biography a the sibling apart from the name Flo Jo.

302. Triple thirteenth

This absolute stunner of a a red eyed Tremper eclipse is Antwerp. He/she hatched 13/06/2012 after 50 days in the incubator. Looks about 3 grams. Parents are Scarlett and Max Planck who are both top quality Leos.

301 Bikila Olympic legend.

This is Bikila who was our second hatch 12/06/2012. Parents are Isuzu (Sire) and Demerara. Hatch weight was the standard 3 gram and incubation was 49 days.

300. More normal wild types

This is Milo pictured today and seven days since hatch (12/06/2012). She/he is one of Nell and Mohammads offspring also the sibling of a baby announced a few posts previous. Weight at hatch was 3 gram and incubation took 49 days.

299. Where are the photos?

Sorry for the delay on announcing recent arrivals. But we have a good excuse as our son has lost our blinking camera during his scouts gold award expedition. so more unnessary expense in purchasing a new one which we hope to get round to doing today.

298. No stock here at the moment

Must apologise folks as we have absolutely no reptiles available at moment due to selling every one we placed on our table at the Doncaster show yesterday. Without doubt it was the busiest show June we have witnessed and the place was jam packed. Hoping to have a few 2012 Leopard geckos hatchlings at our sale weight (16 g) by the end of the month and available from our table at the Norwich show 8th July.

297. Doncaster reptile show sunday 17th June 2012

See you all at the Donny show. Contary to false rumour and statements issued by the wank pot APA the Doncaster show is going ahead with the same conditions imposed as all previous shows. Rumours of its demise put out by the APA are exactly that, just pure rumour in the speculative hope it will deter people to attend. See you all there.

296. Just another hat trick hatchling day

This baby was our third and final hatch on Monday 11th June 2012. It is the sibling of the baby in post 289. So all biographic detail is the same apart from a couple of extra days incubation at 52 days. This one has adopted itself the name of Fortius. Should tunout to be a Tremper sunglow.

295. A nice bit of Kayaking in June

This is the sibling of the baby in post 290 and he/she hatched out on 11th June 2012. Looks just a tad smaller than the sibling and incubation was one day extra at 50 days. Calling him/her Kayak and pretty sure this will turnout a cracking Leo with great rugged wild type looks like the parents.

294. Sibling arrival

This babe is the sibling to the baby in post 292. Therefore exactly the same biography. Well apart from the fact that this one hatched 11/06/2012 so an extra days incubation. He/she goes by the name of Spike.

293. At last an interesting normal wild type/broad stripe?

Must say we have not had as many out of the ordinary normal wild types so far this season. The baby below which was our fourth hatch last Sunday 10th June 2012 looks like there might be a potential broad stripe. Parents on this one are Nell and Mohammad. Incubation took 47 days and weight at hatch we would estimate around the average 3 gram mark. keeping with our Greek/Olympic theme this one is called Citius.

292. A corker Tremper eclipse

This is the third baby that hatched out Sunday 10th June 2012. Parents are Duchess and Max Planck which means this babe is het for RAPTOR and Diablo Blanco but a visual Tremper red eyed eclipse. Given it the name of Altius and he/she had a 54 day incubation. Looks about 3 gram.

291. Proper 100% wild thing

This is another arrival from sunday 10th June 2012. A nice sized normal wild type from wild caught bloddline parents Mohammad and Benazir whose genes carry no hets. Calling this one zeus or if it turns out female Zeus's daughter or even wife or mother, but maybe Aunty. Estimate hatch weight was a minimum of 3 gram after 49 days in the incubator.

290. Wild thing

If this babe is anything like the Dam (Whoopi) and its siblings from earlier in the season it sure will be a great looking Leo. Hatch date was Sunday 10th June 2012 and weight looks about 3 gram. Incubation took 49 days. Sire on this baby is Kabul our 100 % Afghanicius second generation from wild caught stock. Wow what a mixture of genes we have here. Has been named Kotimios.

289. A bit of sunglow in Lowestoft over the weekend.

This little Tremper sunglow who we have named Epee burst out of the egg last Saturday 9th June 2012. A bit of a tiddler which looks about 2 grams after a 50 day incubation. Parents are Currant bun and Helios who have now produced us a fair number of hatchlings this season.

288. Supersnow weather in Lowestoft continues into june!

This is Sabre who sprouted out of the egg on Firday 8th June 2012. Think this babe must be our 6th or 7th supersnow this season. Parents are Maggie and Rob Roy, must check to confirm the sire. weight looks a good 3 gram and incubation took 51 days.

287. A bit of Shuttlecock on bank holiday monday.

This is Shuttlecock who hatched out bank holiday Monday 4th June 2012. Parents are Slurm and first time breeder Fantasia. Congratulations go to her on proving herself fertile. Hatch weight was, well looks about 3 gram and incubation took 50 days.

286. The one we forgot.

This baby hatched out Friday 01/06/2012. Having been on a trip to the Houten show over the weekend this is the first opportunity we have had to upload it's picture. We have also forgotten who the parents are with all the hustle and bustel of getting to and back from Houten. Definitely a Tremper of some kind with the sire being either Helios or Max. Consequently the dam is either Duchess or Currant bun. We should know for sure as the babe grows and when we take a close check of its eyes for eclipse. Anyway what we do know is the hatch weight was 3 gram and the incubation period was 57 days. Given it the name of Bronze.

285. Wednesday's child

This hatchling broke out yesterday wednesday 30th May 2012. Interesting little normal with 2 blobs at the back and also interesting parentage. Dam is Meriva an aberant normal and sire is kabul our pure Afghanicus stud. Weight looks about 3 gram and incubation was 52 days. We have named it Silver.

284. Tuesday treat

This normal wild type baby is a hatch from yesterday Tuesday 29th May 2012. From our records we are fairly sure the parents are Mohammad and Lynn. Hatch weight is estimated at 3 gram and incubation was 50 days. Given it the name of Gold.

283. Synchronised Sunday Mack

This little one has been Christened Synchronised and hatched yesterday Sunday 27/05/2012. Nice chunky hatchling which looks about 4 gram. Parents are Fanta and Slurm. So far this season they are giving us supersnows and a previous Mack Snow/TUG looking offspring. Hoping we might get some TUG characteristics from this one. Incubation period was 55 days.

282. What looks like the babe in post 280?

Answer is this baby which has hopped out of the egg today (26/05/2012)and is the sibling to the baby in post 280. Given it the name of Bobsled. Hatch weight is a nice chunky 4 grams. Bit of a fiesty beast as it was giving me a 4 gram love bite whilst we were moving it into place for its mug shot.

281. The unknown Gecko

This baby hatched out today 26/05/2012 and we think it may be the sibling to the baby shown in post 279 made yesterday. Reasoning behind the title for this post is explained in post 279. Apart from one day extra incubation all the unknown biographic details match those for the babe in post 279. Given this one the name Torch.

280. Now it's hat-trick Friday

This normal wild type is our third new born so far today 25/05/2012. Also still four more hours left in the day for another one. Proud parents are Mohammad and Benazir who are both 100% Macularius wild caught bloodline Leos. A nice chunky baby which looks about 4 gram. Incubation was 51 days and the sibling egg alongside looks good. this one has been name Triple Jumper.

279. One more Tremper out of the egg.

This one has arrived this afternoon 25/05/2012. We are a bit perplexed on the parentage as the eggs in the container have got a bit mixed. We should have better idea when we get the chance to see if it has red eyes. If so the Papa will be Max Planck with the dam being Scarlett or Duchess. If plain eyes and a hint of sunglow patternation papa will prove to be Helios and Mamma Currant bun. Hatch weight was 2 gram and incubation period 50 or 51 days. Has been named Kierin.

278. Blimey the weather outside is scorching but we just keep on getting supersnow.

This baby was an early morning hatch today 25/05/2012 and is the supersnow sibling of the baby in post 276. Only difference is 2 days longer incubation and a bit fatter at 4 gram. Has been named Luge.

277. Our population of red eye Tremper eclipses continues to grow.

The Tremper red eyed eclipse baby shown below hatched out yesterday afternoon 24/05/2012 following a 56 day incubation. Parents are Jungle Rock and Max Planck. Weight wise it looks about 3 gram. Fingers are crossed for the sibling to hatch but the egg does look pretty manky.

276. It's May but supersnow keeps on falling in Lowestoft

This is the third hatch from yesterday 23/05/2012. It is our fourth supersnow hatch this season. This time it is the prodigy of Rob Roy and Maggie. Hatch weight looks to be approx 3 gram and incubation took 51 days. given this babe the name of Hera. Must apologise for the quality of the picture. We think we get too much glare from the RUBS box.

275. Second baby today

Immediate incubator check striaght from work this afternoon revealed our second baby hatch for today (23/05/2012). This is the sibling of Hippodameia who hatched a couple of days ago and notified on post 273. pretty much the same biographic details apart from a hatch weight of 4 grams and 52 days for incubation. Given it the name of Omnium.

274. Early morning riser.

Found this baby in the incubator this morning (23/05/2012) and took a snap straight away. Looks like it is still a bit wet behind the ears with perlite still stuck to it. Named it delphia. From its first image we can say it is a definite normal and a very dark one. The dark wild/rugged look comes straight from the Sire kabul who is a 100 % pure Afghanicius whom we imported from PACHERP. The Dam is Whoopi who also has very dark tones and very unique micro spotting. hatch weight is estimated at 2 gram and incubation took 50 days.

273. A nice little bit of Jungle

This baby hatched out last night 21/05/2012. As you might be able to see it is a normal with a little bit of jungle pattern on it which is probably passed on from the Sire Isuzu. The Dam is Demerara. Hatch weight is estimated at approx 3 gram and incubation took 50 days. Continuing with the Greek/Olympic spirit we have named her Hippodameia.

272. We are on a red eye run.

This is the sibling of the Tremper baby uploaded a couple of posts earlier in the day. This one hatched out today 20/05/2012 and looks about 3 gram. Only other biographic detail that is different to Velodrome is a couple of days extra for the incubation at 55 days. This tot is called Baton.

271 30 UP - 2012 breeding seaon update

30 UP. Hazel our Mack RAPTOR has dropped us some eggs this morning making her our 30th leo/african fatso to produce eggs this season. Fingers still crossed that we can get 40 breeding females this year. Egg wise we are up to approx 148-150 with 58 in April and 46 so far in May. So expecting a busy time for hatches in the coming weeks. Think we have 17 hatches up to today.

270. All eyes on the Veldrome as latest star emerges.

And here is our latest star Veldrome who broke the egg shell approx 2200 hrs 18th May 2012. Next morning there he/she was fully dry and alert strutting around the birth container. Another nice little red eye Tremper eclipse to our growing collection. mum is Jungle Jane with the papa being Diabl Blanco Max Planck who we have used to sire all our Tremper lines this season. Well apart from our sunglows. Incuabtion period was 54 days and hatch weight was 4 gram. also worth a mention that the sibling egg has hatched this morning 20th May 2012.

269. Caesium the prodigal Leo comes back home.

This little tinker went AWOL during January 2012. She was residing in our insulated loft where most of our herps are,so not too easy to track down. Well not until this morning when we were in the eaves looking around and their she was. From the look of her she does not seem to have suffered from her ordeal and weighed at 41 grams is about 7 grams down on when she went missing. Looks like she found a nice warm place amongst the insulation to bed down for the winter. Now all we have to do is find her viv mate Spotz and we will be back up to a full crew.

269. Meet the parents (38) for the 2012 breeding season.

This couple are another pair we have just separated after we put them together a week, or maybe two, ago. Probably the later as the female is clearly laden with eggs. Both are Tremper sunglows. The male is Helios, the one with the blemish, and he came to us from Jason Barnard (reptilebreeder.com). He has already proved himself from an earlier mating this year. The female is Roma who was produced by norwich Leopard Geckos.

268. Meet the parents (37) for the 2012 breeding season

We put these two together last week and then forgot to post them up as a record of our 2012 breeding pairs. Both are Bells and the big male is Einstein who as already done some breeding service this year. The female is Drill bit who is a first time breeder and came to us from a fellow club member at the Eastern Herpetological Society. From checking this afternoon looks like eggs are on the way and we are just about to put Drill bit into a maternity box.

267. Weekend babe

Just found this babe in the incubator this morning (12/05/2012). Given it the name of Frosby. Parents are Serena and Max Planck. Estimate the hatch weight is 2-3 gram. Gone onto estimating hatch weight due to our scales not being very efficient. Incubation period was 51 days. This is the first time we have produced offspring from Serena as she is quite a frustating woman due to always dropping her eggs on paper under her hide. she won't use the blinkling moss nesting box. Hence by the time we find the eggs they are usually not in the best shape.

266. Simply the best so far

The cutey below certainly is the best looking Leo we have hatched out in the 2012 breeding season to date. It is a red eyed Tremper eclipse complete with Jungle patternation. likely this will fade with age but pretty sure it will still be a great looking animal as it matures. also het for Diablo Blanco from papa Max Planck. the Jungle effect must come from the yummy mummy Jungle rock who looked pretty much identical at birth. Incubation was 59 days (hatch 10/05/2012)so low temperature development and a likely female. She/he is also the sibling of the baby in post 264. Hatch weight a nice rotund 4 gram. very likely we will hold onto this babe as we are keen to increase our stock of Tremper Leos with random/jungle patternation.

265. This is Relay

This baby is the sibling of Shot Putt shown in post 262. Apart from an extra days incubation all the biographic details are the same.

264. Red eyed Tremper eclipses (RETE) are back on the available list

It has been a long time coming but worth the wait to get our first RETE of the year. He/she is pictured below and has been christened Pole Vault. Also proves out both parents, Max Planck (Diablo Blanco) and Jungle Rock (Jungle RETE). Incubation period was 58 days so long and slow so probably female. Weight at breakout was 4 gram.

263. Fancy a bit of Judo.

This is Judo the second normal wild type hatchling from yesterday (08/05/2012). Parents are Nell (hi-yellow) and Mohammad (normal wild caught bloodline), both being breeding stalwarts. Hatch weight came in at 4 gram, so quite chunky, after an incubation period of 57 days.

262. Welcome to Shot Putt

This babe that we have named shot Putt hatched out yesterday (08/05/2012)teatime. Parents are Whoopi (normal wild type) and Kabul (normal Afghanicus wild type) who are both carry no hets. Both parents have some unique rugged wild type patterns so we are hoping for the same from this baby. Incubation period was 49 days and hatch weight was 3 gram.

261. The great escaper has been apprehended

Here is the full view image of the Leo half in half out of the egg in post 260 made earlier today. A definite normal wild type from Mohammad (normal wild caught bloodline)and Nell (hi-yellow). Nice and chubby at 4 gram after a 56 day incubation. on the balance of probabilities incubation duration and low temperature this one is a likely female. Has been christened Slalom as we continue with our 2012 Olympic theme.
