Sex: Male
Hatched: Jan 2004
Morph: Patternless
Notes: Originally bought as a female, but he sprouted suspicious bulges rather unexpectedly. He is the father of both homebred babies so far.

Sex: Male
Hatched: Jan 2004
Morph: Patternless
Notes: Again, originally purchased as a female - but he's the longest male gecko I've ever seen (even if he isn't the heaviest). May be infertile, but not sure - tried him with Celaeno this year.

Sex: Male
Hatched: 15 April 2005
Morph: Blizzard, possible Patternless, 100% carries Albino
Notes: Mad as a pair of trousers. Tries to fly at any opportunity. May be a visual patternless - the kinked tail is a possible sign. One of three from Ray Hine.

Sex: Female
Hatched: Sept 2003
Morph: Hypomelanistic
Notes: Has had some trouble with egg-binding in the past, and is the least handleable of my adults. She'll tailwriggle and squirm, even if she doesn't bite now.

Sex: Female
Hatched: 31 August 2004
Morph: Super-Hypomelanistic
Notes: No spotting between shoulder and base of tail - and one of our two homebred babies, though we do not own her mother any more. She's laid her first eggs in 2006.

Sex: Female
Hatched: 28 May 2005
Morph: Tremper Albino, 100% carries Blizzard.
Notes: Like Chara, she will attempt to eat anything. She's bitten me in preference to grabbing waxworms on the tongs. Lovely colouration. One of three from Ray Hine.

Sex: Female
Hatched: April 2005
Morph: Wild-Type
Notes: Temperament is quite good, curious, and a good eater. One of three from Ray Hine.

Sex: Female
Hatched: Feb 2004
Morph: Tremper Albino
Notes: The kind of gecko you could hand to anyone without biting, wriggling, trying to escape or dropping her tail. She's so laid-back she's horizontal. She MAY be Chara's mother, but I'm not entirely sure.

Sex: Female
Hatched: 25 June 2005
Morph: Hypomelanistic
Notes: Our second homebred baby, who started off on a bad foot as a non-feeder - she had to be assist-fed before she would begin eating. Now eats anything that moves including fingers.

The top photo is Chara when she was about three days old.

Sex: Unknown, possibly male
Born: Unknown
Morph: Wild-type
Notes: Friendliest of all of the slow worms, will 'ask' to come out if he sees you come up to the tank.

Sex: Apparently female
Born: Unknown
Morph: Wild-type
Notes: The only one who is almost certainly 100% sexed female, and at the moment very, very rotund... possibly gravid?

Sex: Unknown, possibly male
Born: Unknown
Morph: Wild-type
Notes: Very, very skittish. He does not like to be handled at all, so we avoid doing so.

Sex: Unknown
Born: Presumed 2004
Morph: Wild-type
Notes: Smallest and youngest of the slow worms, and a bit of a difficult feeder.

Sex: Presumed female
Hatched: Unknown
Morph: Wild-type
Notes: A rather odd species that we noticed on a reptile shop's stock sheet - sort of half way between the slow worms and a full-sized sheltopusik (Giant Glass Lizard). She's about eighteen inches to two feet long, and is considerably tamer than her wild origins would have implied.

Sex: Male
Hatched: 18 June 2005
Morph: Wild-Type (possible Okeetee)
Notes: Bred by a couple of friends, and chosen because he tried to climb down my collar. Gorgeous colouring and has recently decided that, since Io strike feeds, I might not love him any more if he doesn't strike-feed too. Corn snakes crap for England, however... yeck!

Sex: Male
Born: 11 September 2005
Morph: Whitewater locale normal
Notes: Io is partially sighted, with a condition called micropthalmia - his eyes are not growing even though the rest of him is. He's healthy despite this and perfectly able to feed and shed without any real trouble. Rosy boas have amazingly soft, almost plush-feeling scales - they aren't keeled or hard at all.
