So i just got this amazing offer(atleast i think it is) for having my hand in a small breeding project with leapord geckos. The thing is i am wanting to involve myself in breeding more and to do something kinda NEW and INTERESTING, something not really dabbled in before or not into a crazy extent.
So long story short i was offered a decent breeding colony of leapord geckos of about 20 adults and about 40 babies (hatched and unhatched) from this season for a not so bad price. Including incubator and setup and all. Thing is i origionally wasent wanting to get into leapord geckos as it dosent fit in the NEW catogory that i mentioned before but it is a good price and a interesting oppurtunity to learn especially with someone on my side to help.
Thing is i am not sure if i should jump on it as i was looking for something more uniuqe. And as a example i was looking at info on Tokay Geckos and i found this articale which if you have time to read ti was a great quick read. (http://www.geckotime.com/tokay-gecko-morph-interview-with-nerd/) And it was one of my originolly my thought to maybe get into tokay geckos but i am unsure.
So now that i have ranted for a bit and i am sure none of that made sense but in the end my questions are even with the good price of all the geckos if it is a good move. I mean your talking limited space and time i cant really jump into a ton of projects (and i am getting into one already) but on the other hand it would be great experience to learn more about breeding. Do you think it is a good idea?
Also what ideas for some animals (breeding wise) that would be kinda new and interesting? I am doing a small one now with cacellian worms already (typhlonectes natans) and i was thinking it owuld be cool to get into some of the other species of cacellian worms as in doing research there natural coloring can be amazing. Draw back is owning one can be like owning a pile of dirt. So what ideas for some animals that would be kinda new and interesting?
Thanks for reading my page of questions. And thanks for the help ahead of time.
