A new and exciting morph! First released to the public on October 10, 2016
The Lemon Frost Leopard Gecko was first hatched by Gourmet Rodent. It hatched in either late 2012 or early 2013 from a Normal male bred to a Normal female. Fortunately, a staff member at Gourmet Rodent realized the
first Lemon Frost hatchling was a unique animal, and it was held back to test out the possibility that this unique gecko had a new and heritable gene. The original Lemon Frost was a female, and when she was bred,
at least two Lemon Frosts were hatched in her first season of breeding (along with some Normals).

When did Geckos Etc. start working with this morph?
In June 2015, Gourmet Rodent announced they would release the first Lemon Frost female to the public at the USARK (United States Association of Reptile Keepers) auction at the NARBC Tinley Park show on October 10, 2015. In
order to support USARK and raise the value of this special once in a life-time auction item, Gourmet Rodent added a male Lemon Frost to the deal. Thus, the highest bidder would win a pair of the first Lemon Frosts
available to the public. To add even more hype and publicity to the event, Rodent Pro graciously agreed to provide a matching donation to the winning bid amount – all to benefit USARK. Geckos Etc. made the winning
bid, and won the pair after a very exciting auction.
The female was available immediately, but we didn’t receive the male until December 2015. The pair was named Mr. and Ms. Frosty! Here are some pictures of our Lemon Frost pair:
