Meet The Fat Tails | Luna's 2021 African Fat Tail Breeders 

Thanks

Thanks. Appreciate you taking the time to watch.

Thanks. Babies are so cute.

That’s awesome. I’m glad you found it and appreciate you watching. Let me know if you have any Fat Tail questions.

You need some Fat Tails!!!

@@LunaGeckos yes i do actaully lollll

Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it.

He is a pretty boy. Certainly one of my favs.

Thanks. Appreciate you watching.

Luna Geckos slowly! my sand granite jejej

Some males can only think of one thing. I have a couple leopard males that do that, but not as many as Fat Tail females.

Thanks. They are similar to Leopard Geckos. Usually by a year old females are ovulating.

I have a quick how to sex your gecko on here already: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ce8_kehjwN4.html

@@LunaGeckos oh thanks! Just watched it. So the bulges doesn't matter really? Bcs i have one with 2 bulges but the pores are teeny and not how you described being bigger with blackish dots. And i want to house with my other female but i wont if its a male

@@yuralala742 Bulges can fool you. Pores don’t lie. How old is the gecko?

@@LunaGeckos The seller said a good few months old. They're a reptile shop and i don't think they breed them themselves :/

@@LunaGeckos do you have any public social media i can send photos to you of my gecko by any chance?

That’s awesome. We have all babies eating Dubia and some eating mealworms this season. Hope it carries to adulthood. 🤞

I like the creativity. However, Fat Tails and Leopard Geckos are too genetically dissimilar to successfully breed.

@@LunaGeckos how about I use a Turcmenicus Female ? :)

@@rdnkenki Outcrossing to wild types is always an option. I just emailed you a couple options too.

@@LunaGeckos Thank you!

I don’t use heat lamps. I have under tank heat on a thermostat so I drop my thermostat 2 degrees a day. You could probably leave it off longer, but I’d do some research first.

Thank you for watching. Hopefully one day you can get one.

White Out to White Out will produce unviable offspring. The “super” or double copy form of the gene is lethal. As for community housing, we keep all ours individually. But if I were to house multiple, I’d keep 2 or 3 females together space permitting. I would introduce the male for breeding season, but separate him after you start getting fertile eggs from the females because he will continue to try and breed throughout the year which may cause stress or even fighting.

We house clutch mates together until about 3-4 months old. Sometimes we separate earlier if one is hogging all the food.

@@LunaGeckos is it the same with leopard gecko?

Yep we do leopards and fat tail babies the same way.

@@LunaGeckos my 1month old babies sometimes bite their siblings so I'm abit afraid haha

You certainly don’t have to keep them together. If you have the space, then by all means separate them.

Within next couple weeks. Have 20+ babies right now. Just waiting for them to get a bit bigger. Keep an eye on LunaGeckos.com 🌚

That would be a short video cause I only have one and she’s a pet only. 🤷‍♂️

@@LunaGeckos some people claim to have bought some of you quite recently 🤔

I have bred them as did just about every breeder that could afford or find one. I created 3 frost turcmenicus’ in 2018, 3 in 2019 and 5 in 2020. Another breeder became interested in the project and took it from me. So yes I did make 11 of them.

@@LunaGeckos uhm no by 2018 every reputable breeder was getting out of this project as nobody seen future with it.

Not entirely a fact. I suspect you don’t know every breeder nor is there a rating system to define reputable. If there were, it should include customer service, response time, charity and educational outrage, governmental and regulatory involvement, criminal record, etc. By your definition most “reputable” breeders produced 100’s even 1,000’s of them. I produced 11. In fact, the limited scientific studies weren’t even released until 2020. I’m not defending the project or it’s results. I’m defending opinion versus fact and people’s individual rights to create and speak as they wish. Freedom isn’t defined by a few it is held by the many. When a few define it then it is no longer freedom.

They thrive in this environment. They prefer small, secure and safe spaces. In captivity they can live 20+ years, which far exceeds their “wild” lifespan.
