Late Night Leos web radio show

Ryan Hauser — Sat, 29 May 2010 21:41:17 GMT

Well networking and marketing has finally paid of for us at Retribution Reptiles. Friday June 4th Ryan will be the guest on Late Night Leos blog talk radio program. Our friend Brittney Gougeon of Pacherp asked if I would be interested in doing a guest spot and of course how could I refuse.

We will be talking projects, selecting high quality breeders, as well as other topics dealing with Pictus and pricing. It should be an awesome show. Last month they had Paul Allen with Bright Albino and it's really going to be hard to follow him but I'm up for the challenge.

We have another announcement that we will be annoucning on Late Night Leos.

Keep tuned we have ALOT of stuff to share to the world this month.

Pictus Pictus Pictus

It has been over 30 days since we received a shipment of pictus geckos. Normal quarrantine time is 60 days, however, we felt that a shorter time was reasonable since they all came from the same colony. We were more concerned with letting them adjust to their new surroundings, and making sure they were eating and not too stressed. This week we started to pair them up. It will be very exciting to see what types of babies they create. The more I work with the pictus, the more I enjoy them. It will be a few months before we see any results from the pairings, but that is part of the game. As they are not as well known as other species, we hope to share our adventure with everybody so we can all get to know a little more about them.

And the season continues

Hello World ~

Well we are going into 3rd week of March and things are going as expected. Females digging, laying, not eating LOL. Tis the life of a gecko I guess. We have bred roughly 1/2 of the females we planned on breeding this year so that is a possitive note. I think we are sitting at about 8 clutches in the bator. We didn't get our season started until early/mid February though. We have had 7 Pictus babies hatch out which we are very happy for.

On the big news front we did pick up a pretty big group of Pictus from our good friend Chris Smith at Palmetto Gecko. In that we aquired some Snows, very nice Reds, a couple Xanthic, a Three stripe, and a possible Axanthic. We will be really working hard to figure out more of the genetics of these little guys and gals. Let's hope we can push some of these morphs to the forefront and really get some intrest in them.

Well I think that's about it for the time being so keep it real and enjoy.

Hey guys!!!

Well I know we just went live a few days ago but we have updated our available pages a little bit. We have also updated a few project page pics. But that's just chump change in comparison to what happened tonight. We have finally gotten our first clutch of leo eggs for the 2010 season. They are from a Lavender Bold Stripe Bell x Bold Stripe het Bell (50% R2). This is a very exciting pairing for us this year. This is the females first year so let's hope she has a very productive one.

It's alive!!!! It's alive!!!!!

We are officially LIVE!!!! This is a very exciting time for us as a business to show the fruits of our labor of love. Please feel free to take a look around and keep checking back often for updates on available animals and pictures of our breeders.

Breeding has started!!!

Hello guys just thought I would stop on in and give everyone an update. We have finally got ovulation after me being quite impatient we have roughly 5-8 females that have been paired up. Things will be great for us this year as wel have many HQ projects going on.

On a more somber note we did have one of our P.Pictus geckos pass away the other night. We are unsure of what caused this but it was bitter sweet because last night we got 2 more hatchlings come out last night. We got 1 banded and 1 striped, both are 66% het xanthic. Unfortunatly the odds were not in our favor for this clutch to get that Xanthic.

Well have a good one please keep tuned in for further updates this coming season!!!

New Year-New Company

January has become a busy month. As you have already noticed, we have been working to get our website live. We also started the new year with our very first p. picta hatchling. It was a treat. We hope to continue to have them hatch out in the next few months, and sell them in addition to our leopard geckos. 2010 projects were determined in the late summer/early fall of 2009. We have made rearrangements in the racks to put the leos together in their groups. Now all we have to wait for is for them to start ovulating. Sometimes, waiting is the hardest part. We only hatched about 15 geckos in 2009, so there will be a few on the website, but not enough to host a table at a show. We hope once the 2010 season gets into full swing we will be able to start vending shows in the summer and fall.
