374. Ancient Pallas.

This little normal is Pallas and he/she hatched out 22/08/2012. She is the sibling to Horae in the previous post. Biographically only difference to the sibling is an extra 2 days incubation. So for Pallas it was 49 days in the egg.

373. Hail Horae hurrah

This is Horae another one of our little God/Goddesses. Hatch was on 21/08/2012 and she/he is another of our mixed race Leos with the Sire being our Afghanicus Kabul and the Dam being Meriva a common Macularius. Incubatioon period was 47 days and weight at hatch was a good 3 gram plus.

372. Ding dong baby Bell time.


Here we have Acropolis who is a Bell albino out of Einstien and Drill bit. Amazingly, only our third pure Bell this season after our other 2 Bell albino females failed to produce the eggs. We may have a few other Bell combos but just 3 pure babybels. Acropolis hatched 21/08/2012 making that a 47 day incubation. Hatch weight looks about 3 gram.

371. Two Blizzards batter Lowestoft in one day

Lo and behold this babe is the sibling of Excel in the previous post. This babe goes by the name of Wenlock and he/she hatched 19/08/2012. So, exactly the same biography and vital statistics as Excel.

370. Lowestoft swept by Blizzards in August

This is Excel who hatched out sometime after 04:00 hours 19/08/2012. That is the time we checked the incubator before setting off to the Kempton Park show. Parents are Blizz and the unknown Mack RAPTOR. As in previous posts the Sire is unknown because we got Blizz with buns in the oven. This babe was, according to our records, in the incubator for 46 days. She/he was quite small at hatch and probaly a tad below 3 gram.

369. Probably Ogogo's sibling

Great to get back home on Sunday evening, from the Kempton Park show last weekend (19/08/2012),to find we had 3 new hatchlings. This one is Marathon who we suspect might be the sibling to Ogogo shown in post 369. Therefore all the same biographic details as Ogogo apart from an extra day in the incubator. Also looked pretty much the same weight and at least 3 gram toward 4 gram.

Saturday, 18 August 2012

368. Another one of those known unknowns.

This babe was found hatched out this morning 18/08/2012 and is named Ogogo. It was in a bit of a mixed up egg tub so we are not too sure who the parents are though we have narrowed the Dam down to Zuton, Lulu or Patio. Hopefully as it loses the dark banding and turns normal wild type, or hypo, we should be able to identify the parents. Incubation period is over 50 days and looked a good 3 gram at hatch.

367. Very pretty Mack

This pretty looking Mack Snow is Mobot who hatched out 11/08/2012. Parents are Hazel and ROB Roy who are both Mack RAPTORS. Looked at least 3 gram when hatched which came after a 48 day stint in the incubator.

Sunday, 12 August 2012

366. August and it is pouring down Mack Snow in Lowestoft

This is Wiggold who is the sibling to the supersnow shown in post 365. Absolute same biography as hatch was on the same day.

365. More Trotty gold with number 100 hatchling

This is Trotty who hatched out 09/08/2012 who we think is thereabouts or one 100th hatchling of the season. Parents are our every reliable Maggie and chief striker Rob Roy. Looks at least 3 gram and hatch came after 46 days in the incubator.

364. Not too good a photo but you might have red eyes!

This is McHoy who is the sibling to Ennis in post 361. So pretty much the same biography apart from McHoy arriving one day later on 06/08/2012. Also looks a tad smaller and probably 2 gram chasing 3 gram at hatch.

Thursday, 9 August 2012

363. Now it's time for Bolt to lead the way.

Bolt shown here is the sibling to the baby shown in post 362. So no need to say anything about this babes biography as it is the same as cav's. In fact they were both found together in the incubation box on the morning of 06/08/2012. So we don't know which one hatched first. Maybe they could race each other to sort it out.

362. Cav leads the way

Little Cav shown here hatched out 06/082012. The eyes are not visible on this photo but they are nice full eclipse red passed on from the Sire (Max Planck) and Dam Jungle Rock. So another red eyed Tremper eclipse to add to the 20 plus we have masnaged to produce this year. Incubation took 48 days and this one looked about 3 gram at hatch.

361. Ennis reveals her hi-tech go fast body suit.

This is Ennis who hatched out 05/08/2012 and is pictured here shedding her body suit today 09/08/2012. Parents are Blizz and the unknown Mack RAPTOR. As stated earlier the Sire is unknown as Blizz was already gravid when we got her. Hatch came after 46 days in the incubator and this babe looked an easy 3 gram straight out of the egg.

360. Wiggo is first again in August 2012

This is Wiggo who hatched out 02/08/2012 and is the clutch mate of Peleton anoounced a couple of posts earlier. So our second Bell for 2012. Only biographic difference from peleton is a couple of extra days incubation at five zero.<

359. What is a Judoka?

One of our recent Leo hatchlings who is shown below. Hatch was 31/07/2010 after 48 days in the incubator. Hatch weight is estimated at 3 gram. Parents are Zuton and Kabul so 50% Afghanicus genes in this one.

358. A rare baby Bell indeed!

In fact our first baby Bell albino of 2012 as two of our females have not produced viable eggs this season. This baby is from Drill Bit and Einstein and the hatch was 29/07/2012. looked a decent size at hatch and at least 3 gram following 49 of incubation. Goes by the name of Peleton.

357. A return to the hypos

This is Missy Franklin who was our third hatch of the day 29/07/2012. Parents are Lulu and Helios. Incubation took 51 days and hatch weight was a good 3 gram. The photo was tasken today 07/08/2012 and the dark banding is browning so looks to be developing into a hypo which is what was expected.

Saturday, 4 August 2012

356. All very normal at the moment

This babe is Spitz who was our second hatch 29/07/2012. She/he is a normal wild type of the the dark olive classic variety and half Afghanicus from the Sire Kabul. The Dam for this babe is Meriva, one of our own produced aberant normals. Estimate of hatch weight is 3 gram following 49 days of incubation.

355. Enter Nike.

This is our little Goddess Nike who hatched out 29/07/2012. The photo was taken today and the dark banding is already fading to brown so it looks like he/she will be a hypo. That also helps us to identify the parents as Lulu and Helios. Incubation took 51 days and hatch weight looked a good 3 gram.

354. Identify yourself

Same explanation as given in post 353 holds for this baby who also hatched out 28/07/2012. So the parental condrum is exactly the same. This one was a bit bigger at hatch and at least 3 gram. If we had to put a bet on the dam we would probably opt for Nell. Lastly we have named this babe Owens.

353. Another known unknown Leopard Gecko

Again another hatchling from a batch of mixed up eggs. This is Neri who hatched out 28/07/2012. Dam for this one is either Whoopi or Nell making the incubation period 50 or 53 days. Whoopi produces really dark rugged wild type offspring with micro spotting so we should to be a bit more definitive on the parents as he or she grows. Looked a bit tiny at hatch and probably 2 gram.

Tuesday, 31 July 2012

352. The unkown Leopard Gecko.

This is Ritola who hatched 27/07/2012, and as with the babe in post 351 the exact same situation holds as to the actual parentage. Again parent possibilities are the same as for the baby in post 351. Hatch weight looked a fairly standard 3 gram.

351. Here come the normal wild type Leos

This babe hatched out 27/07/2012 and we are not too sure who the parents
are. We have narrowed it down to either Demerara and Isuzu or Nell and Mohammad. If the former pairing that would make this baby the sibling of the Leo in post 344 (Behar) and incubation period would be 51 days. If the later pairing incubation period would be 49 days. Main thing is it is in good health and was what looked like a minimum of 3 gram at hatch and goes by the name of Rhodes.

350 Summetime but still more supersnow in Lowestoft

This is Kroton who hatched 26/07/2012 from the pairing of Maggie and Rob Roy. Incubation on this babe was 49 days and hatch weight looks about 3 gram.

349. One more Afghanicus Macularius cross

This is the sibling to the baby announced in post 347 whose biographic details we had to amend. This one hatched a later on the same day and is called Christie. Looked a good 3 gram minimum at hatch.

348. Our little sprinter see the full light of day

This is our precious little African fatso called sprinter shown, half-way in or half-way out of the egg during hatch 25/07/2012, in post 346. Parents on this little bewt are Nelson and Polokwane. Incubation period was 55 days and we would estimate just a tad under 3 gram.

Wednesday, 25 July 2012

347. Meanwhile while we are waiting out popped another normal Leo.

This is BMX who we found in the incubator at the same time as we took the piccy of the African fatso in post 346. Assuming that she/he is the sibling to the baby in post 345, but will need to dig the spent egg out to confirm this. As you might see it still looks a little bit wet behind the ears with bits and bobs of perlite stuck to it. Also looks slightly smaller than its suspected sibling. Post script on this one as we assumed wrongly who the parents were. Later on when checking we discovered this one had been in a different incubation tub and that the parents were actually Cumbria and that dastardly Afghan terrorist kabul. That means incubation period was 47 days.

346. Hurry up before you get caught

Just been back to the incubator to see if the African fatso has fully emerged from the egg. As you can see from the piccy below fatsos as just as slow at hatching as in life generally and he/she is just over halfway out. Given this one the name of Sprinter.

345. OMG

Blimey just took a peek in the incubator and we have an African fatso sticking it head out of an egg. Incredible after a nil year in 2011 and half a dozen manky eggs this season. Piccy to follow when and if it gets fully out fingers and legs are crossed.

344. Good old reliable normal wild types

This is Behar who was found hatched out this morning (25/07/2012). Looks a good 3 gram following 49 days in the incubator. Parents are our ever relaible Demerara and Isuzu who are our own produced Leos.

Tuesday, 24 July 2012

343. Latest availability

We have just uploaded piccys and details of new 2012 hatchling Leos to our website that are approaching sale weight and will be available in the next two weeks. You can check them out at
http://lowestoftleopardgeckos.co.uk/

342. A lean week but at least we got Karelin.

Yes siry it was a poor week just gone for hatches as we seemed to have a tub full of eggs that went manky. Well apart from this baby called Karelin which hatched 20/07/2012. Not 100% sure on the parentage for this one as our records suggested it is from Blizz the blizzard and the unknown Mack RAPTOR. Unknown as Blizz came to use with eggs in the oven. Of course Mack combinations do produce some normal wild types so the stated parentage is plausible. Looked the standard 3 gram at hatch which wsa after 46 days.

Monday, 23 July 2012

341. Popov skates out of the egg.

Popov shown below is the sibling to Juantorena in post 340. Same day of hatch and same parents so same biography. Looked a little chubbier at hatch and possibly a 4 gram fat git.

340. Juantorena opens up his legs and shows his class.

This is Juantorena who hatched out 16/07/2012 following 48 days in the incubator. Looks a standard 3 gram and parents are Patricia and Dallas.

339. Lowestoft's latest Afghan asyslum seeker

We have been looking for quite some time to obtain a 100% pure Afghanicus girlfriend for our 100% pure Afghan assasin Kabul. Problem being they are quite hard to come by and imports from the USA are at least $300 when all costs are included. In fact $400 for a male. Luckily we happened to fall on this bewt called Sarajah that was for sale at the Doncaster show last month. Her lineage is from a group owned by Happy Geckos over on mainland Europe. Hopefully if she progresses well and gets up to 40 gram, which is the typical weight for an female adult Afghanicus we might be able to pair her with Kabul next year.

338. We are going to tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree for this one!

This is Spotz who has been at large in the eves of our loft for the past 6 1/2 months. She escaped out of her enclosure when we didn't close the door correctly just after christmas/new year time. We found her late last night 17/07/2012. Clearly she found herself a nice cosy place to hide out amongst the insulation during the cold spells during winter. Weighed her this morning at 39 grams which compares to 40 grams on the sale sheet we prepared for her at the Houten show last December. We think she was about 46-48 grams when she went on walkabout. As you can see from the piccy she has a decent chubby tail so must have found some cricket or mealworm scraps to live on while on the run. From the piccy you will also see she is a super looking aberrant Leo with great shades and markings. So fantastic to have her back and really glad we didn't sell her at Houten.

337. Next day delivery for sibling

This is Tomba who is the sibling to the baby in post 336. As you will see this baby is just about to go into its first shed but asimilar pattern to its sibling can be seen. This one hatched 14/07/2012 which is the only variation it has in biographic detail to its sibling.

336. Fingers crossed for some bold striping

This baby hatched out Friday 13th July 2012 after 47 days in the incubator. Parents are Bingo and Dinkum who both exhibit bold stripe characteristics, black for the first and a slight hint of red for the latter. We already have had a couple of clutches from this paring and the babies are all remarkably very similar. This baby goes by the name of Carmona and looked a top end 2 gram or just scrapping the 3 gram mark at hatch.

335. Two Trempers in one egg tub.

There certainly was two in the egg tub on the morning 09/07/2012 and the one shown here is Pelops who is the sibling to the baby in the previous post. Therefore exactly the same biography.

334. More Tremper red eyed eclipses

This one hatched out Monday 09/07/2012 and is called Pisa. Parents are our own bred Tremper eclipse Diva and Max Planck our Diablo Blanco. Duration of the incubation was 51 days and weight at hatch is estimated at 3 gram.

Saturday, 14 July 2012

333.Forget to mention this one!

Looks like we have got out of sequence with our announcements as we forgot to put up a post for this baby called Elis. He/she hatched out 05/07/2012 and is the sibling to either the baby in post 331 or 330. Time should help us to clarify the parentage and particulary when we get a good look at the eyes, as one of those pairings is a Mack RAPTOR to Mack RAPTOR. Weight on this baby at hatch looked a good 3 gram.

Thursday, 12 July 2012

332. Who the Ekecheiria are you?

It is indeed Ekecheiria who hatched out 06/07/2012 after 48 days in the egg. Looks about a 3 gram mass for hatch weight. Parents are wild caught bloodline Afghanicus Kabul, and normal macularius wild type, with large spot looks, Meriva.

331. The blazing white Leos all come at once.

This is Oinomaos who is the sibling to Blankers-Koen announced to the world a couple of posts earlier. This babe hatched out 05/07/2012 and within minutes of discovering the baby revealed on the last post. Biography is the same as Blankers-Koen apart from the addition of an extra day in the incubator. looks about 2 gram and chasing 3.

330. Looking like a Mack RAPTOR

Given this blazing white babe the name of Comaneci. Hatched out 05/07/2012 after 46 days in the incubator. Looking at his/her eyes we think they are red and maybe a Mack RAPTOR from the same morph parents. We say maybe as we left this one in incubator tub for about 20 minutes whilist attending to something else. Low and behold wheen we looked again there was a second blazing white babe had hatched out which was almost identical and we couldn't be 100% sure which was which. Hopefully we should be clear on this as they grow. Parents are we think Rob Roy and Hazel. Quite pleased to get some offspring from Hazel as she has been a non breeder in two previous attempts. Think he/she is just about a 3 gram hatch.

329. By the rivers of Alpheios

Alpheios pictured here says hello to the world after a recent hatch out 04/07/2012. Parents are Meriva and our pesky little chap, pure Afghanicus mind, Kabul. Fairly small at hatch and probably just tipping 3 gram after a 46 day incubation.

328. Fanny Blankers - Koen switches to hurdles at 2012 Olympics

Here you can see her training for London 2012 after an impressive hatch out of the egg 04/07/2012. Likely to be quite accomplished at the hurdles due to her pedigree line with parents being Blizz and the unknown Mack RAPTOR. We say unknown as Blizz is a recent aquistion as part of a swap with Norwich Leopard geckos and she arrived with a bun in her oven. Since when she has not stopped making them, or in simple spaek lets just say she is a fantastic layer. Anyhow incubation for Blankers-Koen was 49 days and she looked a good 3 gram at hatch.

327. Leo availability

After selling a few more of our 2012 hatchlings at the Norwich show we are once more a bit short of stock for the moment. Just a couple of Trempers, one standard banded and a sunglow currently available which are approxiamately 14 grams. We are anticipating we will be able to make wider selection available in the coming days once we have caught up with things following the show on Sunday.

326. What a super duper blazer of some sort!

This is Nurmi who is the sibling to Zatopek shown on the previous post. Can't be 100% sure as we have not had the opportunity to do an eyeshot, but they may be red mince pies. Will definately keep a close eye on the eyes. Looks a good 3 grams and biography is the same as Zatopek. Well apart from being a couple of hours younger.

325. Zatopek picks up the Olympic torch relay in Lowestoft.

This is our little Mack snow Olympic legend Zatopek who hatched out 03/07/2012. Parents are Slurm and Fantasia which means he/she must have a bit of Bell gene lurking about on the DNA. Incubation took 50 days and she looks a healthy 3 gram hatchling.

Monday, 9 July 2012

324. First of July.

This is Derny who hatched out 1st July 2012 after what we think was a 49 day incubation. We say think as we are not 100% sure who the parents are for this baby. It may be one of Demerara's and the sibling of Barani whose hatch details are a few posts previous. The again we think it might be one of Lulu's. We shouolld have a better idea when this one grows as Lulu was paired with a sunglow so we are expecting any of her offspring to be brightened up a bit. Weight at hatch looked about 3 gram.

323. Definitely one of Nell's

After a bit of a mix up we are now fairly confident that this baby is one of Nell's and the sibling to the baby in post 320. It hatched out a few hours later 30/06/2012 and was the fourth hatch of the day. so biography is pretty much identical to the baby in post 320. It has the name of Ace.

Wednesday, 4 July 2012

322. Rhythmick jumping jac gymnast.

This little porker is Rhytmick or Rhythmicki if it turns out to be a girl. Hatch date on this one was 30/06/2012. The dark banding is brown so looks like a hypo which is expected from the parent combination of Patio and Slurm. So should also be carry some Bell genes. Certainly the fattest we have had hatch for a while and at least a whopping 4 grams. Again as might be expected as Patio the Dam is also a big fat chubber and produces large eggs.Incubation for this babe took 50 days.
