This week's episode is a Round Table Discussion focused on the Leopard Gecko cohabiting controversy sparked by Adam Wickens of Wickens Wicked Reptiles a few weeks ago. We are joined by Adam Wickens, Liam Sinclair of Reptiles & Research and Ellie Hills of Hills Herptiles to discuss whether or not leopard geckos can safely be housed together, as well as cohabiting reptiles on a broader scope, including how to safely cohabit your animals, the various types of cohabiting situations and which species work best for cohabiting.

As you guys know, I love hearing different perspectives from breeders across collection sizes, locations, and the amount of experience that they've had in the hobby. Leo is the owner of 130 Exotics and is a newer breeder on the Leopard Gecko scene. His desire for breeding ethics and gaining knowledge has caught my attention, especially as a newer breeder. In this episode, Leo gives advice for a newer breeder and discusses the things that have helped him along the way.

Jorge Diaz of Golden Valley Reptiles joins us on this episode of the podcast for some much-needed catching up. We caught up on how this past breeding season went, talked about reptile shows, and some of the tougher tasks that come with being a Leopard Gecko breeder. 

The Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis macularius) has grown to be one of the most well known lizards in the world, becoming a household name. This gecko is incredibly good for beginner keepers and they come in so many different colour morphs and personalities. It's hard not to love them! Join me today as we cover this magnificent little lizard and find out if the Leopard Gecko is the best pet reptile for you.

Episode #6 of Daffy's Round table featuring Derek bird of Birdseyeherping. Join us as Derek breaks down Leopard Gecko genetics and explains why the enigma morph, Lemon frost morph among other morphs cause neurological problems, as well as the problems associated with inbreeding. Derek also goes in depth on his experiences rescuing reptiles and what metabolic bone disease does to them. Finally we discuss herping in Brazil where Derek grew up!

In this episode of Reefs & Reptiles we will be discussing Leopard Geckos.  Leopard Geckos make amazing first time reptile pets.  The hardest part about keeping a Leopard Gecko is keeping the bugs that they need to eat.  As long as you are willing to gut load crickets, dubia roaches, and mealworms, you will be off to a good start with your geckos.  We will talk about feeding leos and cage set ups that they will enjoy.  Leopard Geckos are one of my favorite reptiles, they are so popular because they are so wonderful.

Episode 5 hears us joined by the awesome Chloe Hine of Chloe's Geckos. We get to know Chloe as a breeder and what her aspirations are with the Projects she is working on and within the Hobby itself.It was a very insightful chat and we took away some great information. It was great to hear all about Chloe's journey with Reptiles (Leopard Geckos in particular) and how reptile keeping positively impacts on Chloe's life. There is also some good tips for new keepers and breeders. This is the first in a series of episodes which will hear us chatting to a variety of different Leopard Gecko breeders. It's important to recognize that everyone is different, some may have the same goal or similar, some may have a completely different goal whether complex or simple, the important thing is that it's about the breeder as an Individual and what they want from projects and most importantly that it makes that individual happy. A huge thank you to Chloe for taking the time out of her evening to join us for this episode, we had fun and we hope you'll join us again soon for a different topic. We look forward to meeting more breeders and releasing more Leo Lowdown episodes.Relevant Episode InformationChloe's Geckos UK - Facebook & Instagram The Herping Hour Podcast - Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and all major Podcast providersLily Rose Reptiles - Facebook, Instagram, TikTok & YouTubeDawn of Time Exotics - Facebook and Instagram Reptile Intelligence UK - Facebook Group Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/Herpinghour)

As we continue in this series, this episode focuses on Eublepharis pure species. When Matt was at A&M Gecko, he was part of bringing some of the first subspecies of Leopard Gecko into the states. Later down the line, he brought in Eublepharis Hardwickii and became the first to breed them in the US. 

We are back with Matt Baronak of SaSobek Reptiles in the Uncovering SaSobek in this series. Here in Part III, we talk about one of my favorite subjects, Leopard Gecko history. Matt covers a bulk of the knowledge that he has along with the groundbreaking work he did with Leos. We cover the history of so many morphs including the G-Project, the Afra project, the W&Y, RAPTORs, and so much more. 

It's the late 2000's and a young Leopard Gecko breeder in his mid 20's from the east coast of the U.S. is hatching out countless world firsts and stunning the world of Leos. This young breeder turns out to be Matt Baronak of SaSobek Reptiles. Matt is a legendary figure in Leopard Geckos who is known for his linebred projects, countless world firsts, introducing new morphs to the hobby, and most notably his YouTube channel. So join us for this multi-part series that uncovers SaSobek. 

Uncovering Sasobek is a multi-part series that shines a light and picks the legendary Leopard Gecko Breeder brain, Matt Baronak. Matt has made many contributions to the Leopard Gecko since stepping away from the hobby. Many may know him from his YouTube videos or Facebook. In this series, we get to know Matt and the knowledge he's gained over his breeding career.

Frequent guest here on the podcast, Chris Charlton from Suburban Geckos, joins us today for our season premiere. In today's episode, we talked about many of the trials and tribulations that come with Leopard Gecko breeding. If you've been breeding for any amount of time you know that the journey is a marathon and not a sprint. I'd also like to add that when we discussed morphs such as the Clowns, we had no intentions of being over-critical or bashing anyone working with them.

In this episode, we will be talking about a Leopard Gecko's tank. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

This episode is all about Leopard Gecko care! It contains lots of facts and some of the basic information a Leopard Gecko owner or someone that is thinking of getting a Leopard Gecko needs to know.

Chris Charlton has come on this podcast multiple times now, and every time, I am amazed by the great information that he shares. On this episode of the podcast, we caught up from the last time we spoke and discussed some big changes over Suburban Geckos. In our conversation, we focused on what it really took to be successful as a Leopard Gecko breaded, along with great advice that has helped Chris get to where he is now. 

Jorge Diaz is a dedicated hobby-based breeder of Leopard Geckos and the brains behind Golden Valley Reptiles. He continues to work with high-end genetics and providing healthy Leopard Gecko morphs. In this episode, we touched on many topics that can help get people started into breeding or refine genetics for people who are more experienced. 

Named Spot

In this episode of the podcast, I was lucky enough to get on with two great breeders for a round table episode. Today we're joined by Heidi Nielsen of Xeno Gecko Morphs and Seth Hoffpauir of Huff's Herps. We decided that it would be beneficial for us to discuss how we do things in our personal collections. So we did just that and talked about our experiences as well as how we go through the breeding process. 

We're taking y'all back to good ole' days of Leopard Gecko breeding. For this episode, I had the great opportunity of speaking with Jason Haygood, who used to own and operate The Best Geckos. Many may know Jason from his work with the Gecko Genetics Tangerine. We made sure to do a deep dive into the history of this stunning line and touch on some of the differences that divide this era from the era when Jason was prominent as a breeder.  

Heidi is part of so many great things in this hobby and strives to strengthen the community through positivity. Heidi is the operator of Xeno Gecko Morphs and runs the amazing Facebook Group Leopard Gecko Club. Not only does she have stunning animals, but she also has done great work on the social media front to educate on ethics, husbandry, care, and so much more! 

Feeder nutrition and gut loading are two aspects of Leopard Gecko keeping that are strongly overlooked. In general Leopard Gecko nutrition is very important for the overall health and well being for your gecko in captivity. In this episode, Seth Hoffpauir of Huff's Herps joins us to educate us on feeder nutrition. Seth has great experience as an AFT and Leo breeder which has led him to raise his own feeders for optimal growth and health for his geckos. 

Coming back on the podcast this time around is Kevin Baron from Mutant Geckos. On this episode, we were able to hit a wide range of topics from passion, marketing, shows, impacts of COVID-19, and some of his awesome projects. Kevin is a rising star in the Leopard Gecko world who has gained a ton of knowledge of his years of breeding and keeping. Throughout the episode, we exchanged a lot of knowledge and opinions so hopefully, you will get something out of this conversation.

Facts and care for them and their appetite

Leopard Geckos have a great history behind them that ranges from morphology, genetics, husbandry, and natural history. As reptile enthusiasts, it's important that we know this history to better understand the reptiles we know and love. In this episode of the podcast, I brought on Ron Tremper who paved the way for reptile herpetoculture in the world. He's konw around the world for his work with captive Leopard Gecko breeding and development of amazing morphs. Listen in to get a first-hand experience in history and catch up on what he's doing now in his days of retirement. 

Rebecca is the familiar voice behind the popular YouTube Channel, Leopard Gecko! In this episode, Rebecca tells us why she started her YouTube Channel, and how it has evolved over time. We also discuss leopard gecko care including common mistakes, proper substrates, UVB lighting, and IR-A/IR-B heat sources. Rebecca tells us what equipment she is currently using to keep her geckos healthy and thriving and also talks about her latest Bio-Active leopard gecko build using a Custom Reptile Habitat enclosure.  Show Notes: https://www.animalsathomenetwork.com/49-leopard-gecko/

The Blessed Gecko specializes in high-quality Leopard Geckos, African Fat-Tailed geckos and Crested geckos from amazing genetic lineage. Donny is a sponsor of the podcast and joined me on the show today to share his approach to breeding and the Leopard Gecko hobby. It is very apparent that Donny approaches things differently than most by having a very thought out plan to everything he does. In our conversation, we talked in-depth about what genetics he's working with, his methodologies to breeding, how to keep the hobby sustainable, and educating the new generation of reptile enthusiasts. 

Leppy and Benny have their first mission as new spy partners.

Benny is anxiously awaiting the arrival of his new spy partner Leppy the leopard gecko. He has to make sure that the bad guys don’t get him first.

Leppy the Leopard Gecko is a super secret spy gecko who travels across the world to meet his new spy partner, Benny.

A former Manager for Nothing Bundt Cakes and current Progressive employee with quite the story of hardship, addiction and overcoming the struggle, Ryan Smith, sits down with Business Owner, College Student, and Host, Bradley King. Ryan Smith talks about some of the lessons that he learned and how he grew from them along with discussing deeper topics including that of drug and alcohol addiction. Ryan Smith is a bright, driven, and down to Earth individual who is quite frankly hard not to like. In this episode, we talk about all things from Leo his Leopard Gecko to deeper topics of childhood, going sober, finding faith and more on this inspirational episode. Like a Fish Out of Water, inspiration, motivation, and lessons learned remain a constant theme throughout the episode.

Join us this Sunday for yet another Episode of the Strength In Leos Podcast with our first-ever Round Table Discussion. This episode features an in-depth conversation about leopard gecko breeding and photography. I will be joined by John Scarbrough of GeckoBoa Reptiles and Chris Charlton of Suburban Geckos.

Dr. Matthew Vickaryous conducts research on leopard gecko regeneration at the University of Guelph. He obtains a a BSc (Zoology) and an MSc (Vertebrate Palaeontology) at the University of Calgary, as well as a PhD (Evolutionary Developmental Biology) at Dalhousie University, Halifax. In this episode of th podcast we dive deep into the amazing powers of regeneration in leopard geckos. 

This episode features Mike Smith who runs Handcrafted Herps. We discuss his revolutionary Leopard Gecko enclosures, as well as some of his special projects he's working on this year. 

In the tenth episode of the Strength In Leos Podcast, I talk with Dr. Ben Morrill of Reptile Genetic Services and Rare Genetics Inc. about reptile Genetics. Of course, I got some questions in about Leopard Gecko genetics and heritability. I'm sure that after listening to this episode you'll learn something interesting and new that you can discuss with others. 

In this episode, I talk with Miles Schwartz from Impeccable Gecko about everything from his special projects to the origins of some of the less popular, yet phenomenal, projects he works with. Miles is a wealth of knowledge and his excessive nature ignites his passion for learning about everything possible about Leos (like most if us!).  

Anne and Matt review the new DC movie Shazam (Anne really likes Mark Strong). In "What Are You Reading? What Are You Writing," the hosts discuss a mystery series about "Lincoln and Speed" (which Matt mishears to humorous results) and a book on Francis Marion, better known to many people as "the Swamp Fox."Show order:Intro and updates on Willy the Turtle and Lenny the Leopard Gecko 00:00-5:37Shazam (Non-spoiler impressions) 5:37-39:45Shazam (Spoilers!) 39:45-1:02:18What Are You Reading?

#061 03-03-18 8pm Pacific  Join host Morgan Beebe of Thor Gecko as we get this train started again. Tonight we have new and upcoming breeder, Maxim Salvas of Max Exotic. Maxim is pairing up a Blazing Blizzard to a SHTCTB for some who knows results with the end goal similar to the Sunrise and Sunset project from VMS Herp. I love getting the new guys on because they still have that early spark. Tune in most Saturday nights for your favorite radio show, Late Night Leos!

#059 Saturday November 11th, 2017 I get asked a lot how to make money breeding geckos. No really, I must have about 500 emails over the last 12 years on the subject. So it’s time for an episode just on that. How to pick your first pair. How to line breed leopard geckos for desired traits and genetics. How to house all the babies. How to sell off your first couple years of extras. How to up-trade to better morphs for a more lucrative turn around. All in 30-45 minutes.  T Ever wonder what it takes to breed leopard geckos for money? It's not a lot of money but you sure can start a small business. Hell, maybe you're motivated enough to make it a big business. There are a handful of whales in this industry and we will cover basic topics to make you at least a fish in this giant ocean of money. Prepare to step out of the "loving" hobby and into the cutthroat reptile industry. You have no friends, you have no time, it's geckos baby, yeah!

Join us this Sunday for an in depth conversation about hidden recessive genes and how they can affect your Leopard Gecko breeding efforts. I will be joined by Marcia MC Guiness, John Scarbrough and Matt Baronak. Genetic purity is a concern to most serious leopard gecko breeders today. This episode is designed to help the beginner acheive a better grasp of genetics in order to better these wonderful lines of geckos. Dey aint tainted...dey bootiful! (Inside joke :-)

Beginners. A couple of years ago, we bought a Leopard Gecko for our oldest son, Hudson. He didn't want any toys, just an animal. He is fascinated with reptiles and has read many books about them. So, we went to the pet shop and immediately found what we were looking for. A young, spotty, pretty Leopard Gecko, cool and dry to the touch, and easy to look after. It is surprising what you learn through your own children. I researched the Geckos a little, to make sure that his environment was as it should be. They need a ten to twenty gallon glass or plastic cage. They need a place to hide, some kind of paper or rock on the ground, a humid bed, a heat lamp, and several crickets or worms to eat every few days. They are nocturnal, so if you want to see them hunt and eat, it is best to feed them just before you go to bed. They are so interesting to watch when they hunt. They dart about, chasing their prey. They also lick the air to help them find the insects. After they have eaten, they will lick their lips, and their eyeballs! It sounds gross, but they are actually cute. As a pet owner, you can carry them around the house; they like the warmth of our bodies. However, they do move very fast, so it is best to keep them in their cages for safety. Another interesting fact about them is that they shed their skin and eat it! It supplies them with calcium. They are a very popular pet because they are very easy to take care of, they are quiet, and considered exotic because they come from Afghanistan, India, Iran, and Pakistan. Grammar notes. Expressions: it is/ was as it should be, to dart (about), prey. Exs: The wedding was just as it should be, elegant, happy, and beautiful. The fish dart about in the water; it is hard to see them when they move so fast. The lion was looking for prey. It went down to the water hole and spotted a zebra. Advanced. Leopard Geckos are certainly fun to watch. It's just not much fun when one of them escapes in your house! Yesterday, I had decided to get some reading done. I have signed up for a college course which requires quite a bit of reading. A little girl friend had come over to play with my daughter, so I thought, while they played, I could read. A few minutes into their play, I got the sneaky feeling that they were up to no good; it was too quiet. Suddenly, breathlessly, Domini comes downstairs and says that Anthony, the Gecko, had got out of his cage. "What?" I exclaimed, "And how on earth did that happen, Domini?"  "I don't know, Mum," she said, shrugging her shoulders and looking guilty. I raced upstairs and to my horror found that the cage was on the floor with the lid off, and that the bedroom door was open. He could be anywhere! Great! He's probably under my bed! I could just imagine hearing scratching in the middle of the night, and seeing him run across the floor, or worse, my bed! Well, I tried to control my imagination, and I got on with the job of looking for him. My son's bedroom was a terrible mess, so I had to pick everything up carefully, and tidy up very gently, keeping my eyes open for a little spotted head or tail. And, by the way, they drop their tails when they are scared. So I shuddered at the thought of finding a Gecko tail in my son's dirty laundry or in his pile of Pokemon cards. After an hour of moving furniture, and tidying up, I found the poor little thing, in a corner, behind some shelves. Because he was away from the heat lamp, he was cold and sleepy, so I could easily catch him. Thank Goodness! I can walk around barefoot in my house again. I'll have to read some other time. Grammar notes. Common expressions: to get a sneaky feeling, how/ what on earth?, to shrug one's shoulders. Exs: I got a sneaky feeling that the water was left running all night. I checked, and the whole of downstairs had flooded! How on earth are we going to replace that broken window tonight? It's freezing cold and snowing. What on earth were you thinking about playing golf inside the house? The children didn't want to answer the question, so they kept shrugging their shoulders, as if they had no clue what was being asked. // //
