    Yeah, he lost his tail yesterday in shipping. He was so stressed. Thanks for the advice, I got his stump under control though. Well, I know he was hatched by Kevin Dunne, and was told he is a moonglow, not a blushing, never heard of a blushing.... I have looked at several moonglows and their colors vary from animal to animal. Here is the original pic of him prior to purchasing.

    neosporin is not really recommended for use with geckos--you do not want them to injest anything that is petroleum based. cleaning the area once a day with novalsan/chlorhexadine solution should keep things clean and aid in healing. they are able to heal up from dropping their tails pretty quickly really--his little stump looks fine considering that it just happened. :)

    he does have the "blushing" trait--it's really just a trait and not a separate morph. basically that just means that when fired up he has pink or red "blushing" on his checks and chin. many times the blushing also extends onto the belly.

    Yeah I was told by the guy I bought him from not to use neosporin on him cause of that.. it is getting cleaned with chlor- though, and it looks pretty good to me.

    I did a search on that "blushing" thing after Cubby told me he is a "blushing".... all I found was EXACTLY what you just told us. That is it not a sep. morph, only a trait. The areas that are blushing does run along his cheeks and down his chin a bit, and slightly onto this chest, but not much that far down, it is mostly on his cheeks.
