November Special
- Buy two, get one free Leopard Gecko sale!
First, I've got to point out that I'm busily cranking out CSS and XHTML
code for a complete re-work of this site. During the interim prior to
launching the new version, please point out any inoperable items on this
site you might run across - I tend to bust a lot stuff as I go along in
life, just ask my wife. This is also a good time to make suggestions for
changes or additions you'd like to see...
With that launch, we'll be making our
'free shipping on all orders over $250' permanent. For now, we've
extended it yet again as part of our monthly special.
So here's how that works: Using our simple shopping cart system, just place an
order for $250.00 or more of our reptiles and the shipping will be
free! The shopping cart will even calculate the correct total for you. The
only details:
- To qualify for the special, you MUST use the shopping cart system and pay
via debit/credit card or PayPal account. No exceptions.
- Offer applies only to shipments within the continental US. Shipments to
Alaska or foreign destinations are not eligible.
- Before somebody asks: Types can be mixed to achieve the $250.00 total in
any way you desire, choose from geckos, snakes, any colors, any sexes. It's
up to YOU!
OK, now for the real monthly special...
We've decided to bring back our most popular special of all time, our 'buy two, get one free Leopard Gecko
sale'. So here's how it works: Using our simple shopping cart system,
just order any two (or four or six and so on) Leopard Geckos. The cart
is not smart enough to know which one should be free, so placing it in
your cart will get you charged for it. For every
two ordered, simply list another in the 'notes' field during PayPal
checkout (or send to us in a separate email) as your free one.
- To qualify for the special, you
MUST use the shopping cart system and pay via credit or debit card. No
exceptions.
- The free ones need to be equal or
lower in price than the ones in each pair, you're not going to get a
$500 specimen for free after buying two $25 specimens. I know some
genius out there will try it, it won't work.
- Offer applies
only to new orders placed on or after 11/1/09. This offer may be
cancelled at any time, without notice.
- Be prepared for some substitutions to be requested. Each time we run
this sale, geckos move out fast and getting duplicate orders for the
same specimens is common. Needless to say, it's first-come-first-served,
and we'll work to get you the assortment you want.

Note from the breeder:
Pair this guy with anything and you'll get cool babies. For example, A
female Pastel could produce Lessers, Spiders, Pastels, Lesser-Spiders,
Bumblebees, Queen Bees, Lesser-Pastels, and (heaven forbid) even Normals. |

A number of mutations,
among them Mojave and Lesser Platinum, have proven to be allelic.
Breeding any two of them together will create a 'Super' form which is a
startling solid white to off-white snake with stunning blue eyes. The
specimen offered here is a Lesser-Mojave, said to be one of the
whitest forms. Click here to

Super Pastel Ball Pythons are
simply the homozygous expression of the Pastel. Incredibly useful in
breeding projects, as everything produced from them will be a Pastel, no
matter what it's bred to. We've carefully selected our breeders for intense
yellows and very pale centers on dark areas. Super Pastel Ball Pythons are

Allelic to Black Pastel.
Essentially a color variant of the Black Pastel, but
those color variations lead to some interesting effects when this trait
is combined with others, notably in the Silver Bullet Ball.
Coloration is much lighter, resulting in classic cinnamon colors with
extreme blushing. The super form is a patternless brownish black snake
simply called the Super-Cinnamon. Click

or simply does not exist.

From time to time, we have various adults and subadults
available. Most adults are proven breeders from our colonies. Many subadults are specimens we grew up to
evaluate for use as potential breeders.
|
|
|
Hypomelanistic. Completely lacking
any true black pigment in the epidermal layers, with traces
remaining in some of the deeper layers. Shed skins lack all pigmentation.
This gives the snake a pale 'ghostly' coloration. A 'must have' for
enhancing other morphs by lightening the colors to create 'Honeybees',
'Caramel Glows', etc. Ours are proven compatible with common
bloodlines, such as 'Orange', 'Butterscotch', etc. Click here to

Note from the breeder:
This guy is a major producer, but with so many male Spiders carrying other
traits, such as Pastel, Lesser Platinum, Hypo or Piebald, ready for next
year, I just can't
justify keeping a plain Spider around. Sad to see him go though, as many of
the snakes I just mentioned that we're using to replace him are HIS offspring. |

The description of each specimen is followed by the sex
of the specimen, it's date of birth, a stock number identifying the specimen,
and the selling price. Photos are of the exact specimen listed, and are updated
monthly on average.
Understanding our stock numbers may prove helpful in identifying unrelated
specimens:
-
F021-01M
indicates a 2006 hatching (we started this code in 2001 with 'A',
2002 is 'B' and so on).
-
F021-01M
indicates the clutch number for that year, and thus all specimens listed
as F021- are from the same clutch.
-
F021-01M
indicates this is the first male from that clutch. F021-03F
would the third female from that clutch.
CB - Captive Bred, usually followed by year of
birth. Hatched or born from parents kept in captivity.
CH - Captive Hatched, usually followed by year of
birth. Hatched or born from a gravid wild-caught female.
WC - Wild-Caught. While all of our stock is produced
here, some of it is produced from wild-caught adults that we maintain. We will occasionally
sell some of the breeder animals as surplus.
LTC - Long Term Captive, usually followed by year of
capture. Applies only to WC animals,
indicates they have been maintained for a long period in captivity and are very
well established.
50%, 66%, 100% - Percentage of likelihood the specimen is heterozygous
for the listed trait.
