Well it seems we have quite a few fellow herp owners on here who know a thing of two about their pets. I was just curious to know what species you all have successfully been able to breed over the years. Bringing home an animal that laid eggs or whatever doesn't count! :grinno: You can also tell us your future plans too.
 
Herps I have breed or still attempting to breed:

What's up vice, haven't seen you in a while. Gold Dusts were the easier of the two day gecko species I had to breed. The P. laticauda laticauda I had were very territorial and I lost a female once to my aggressive male.

Yeah that is a pretty good list, but most of the animals on it are natives to where I live. I use to drive my parents nuts with all this stuff! :D

Plenty of finicky fish I've bred but no herps yet.

Future plans are:
Leachies
Crested Gecko's
Pueblan Milk Snakes
Possibly leo's.

Nice, I would love to keep and breed both Leachies and Cresties someday.
 
I'm working with a pair of Python breitensteini which has been locked up on and off since January and which is currently mating after a week-long break and a nice storm system that just rolled through last night :)

But other than that, I've bred plenty of Rattus norvegicus and a few Mus musculus, as well as Gambusia affinis and when I was eight, I had a pair of Sceloporus undulatus which laid eggs but since we had no clue the female was gravid, we didn't provide them with a nest site so the eggs were laid in the water and drowned.

I breed
dendrobates leucomelas
dendrobates tinctorius Cobalts
dendrobates tinctorius Azureus
Imitators
Green and black auratus
Ancon hill auratus

My one friend wants to start breeding dart frogs. Any suggestions on a good, colorful species to start with? [SIZE=-1]I told him that I though Dendrobates leucomelas were the easiest to care for.[/SIZE]

That's a beautiful python species, got any pics?

I've never seen one but we have Sceloporus undulatus native in my state. I've always wanted to get a few, breed them and release them on my property.
 
Yeah I actually took a few pics of my female the other day:

And here's the male--these were taken in the fall. He's been in shed lately so no new pics.
