History
Albey’s LBS (Line Bred Snow)
Albey Scholl got his original pair in 1998.
In roughly 2006 Albey made the decision to stop
producing Line Bred Snow’s.
Albey did produce a very limited quantity a few
years later, and then stopped working with the Line Bred Snows entirely in 2010-2011ish following the exploding popularity of Mack Snows.
Matt Baronak of SaSobek Reptiles got his first
Albey’s Line Bred Snow male directly from Albey at the NARBC Tinley show in late 2013 or so to the best of his recollection.
Albey: "The first Snow Leopard Geckos that I ever saw were on the site of A1 Reptiles. This was in 1997. At that time it was inferred that they had obtained the original breeding stock in a shipment of wild caught Leopard Geckos. Because of the white coloration they exhibited (especially as hatchlings), they named them Snow Leopard Geckos.
I obtained a pair of them in 1998. They were a far cry from what we consider Snows now. As adults they were very skinny, had angular heads, weird shaped tails, and were not very white in color."
