    This is a pic of Tiny when she was two days old, she is on the right, her clutch mate is the one on the left and is a day old:

    Tiny is now almost two years old and doing well. I will try to get a good picture of her now (my cam is so horrible).
    But I thought I would share one of our success stories.
    She is a great gecko to use when teaching kids at out educational shows.
    Thanks

    Very cute....The way thier tail's are laying they look like siamese twins conjoined at the tail.

    What morph did Tiny turn out to be? Her colors look very subdued in that picture. Glad to hear she made it!

    WOW, she really is Tiny isn't she? lol, thats awesome....do you have any plans to breed her....maybe see if her lack of size is genetic?

    HI guys,
    She looks to be a normal. I really need to get a pic done. She is still about half the size of a normal gecko her age, but healthy.
    To David regarding breeding her. As I stand I wouldn't breed her. There are many reasons for this. IE: she probably wouldn't be able to carry the eggs properly, and she was near death for the first six months of her life. I wouldn't want to breed a clutch of animals that would very well die.
    Someone did offer me money once for her they wanted to breed her for the same reasons, but I just don't feel it is right. It's not like Leopard geckos are going to go extinct anytime soon..lol
    Thanks

    I guess she was just a slug who by chance made it.... That's a lucky gecko you got there. Good luck!

    Here's tiny now:
    (I wish I put a quarter or something next to her to show you, but she is quite small still)

    thanks, she is one of the animals that I've rescued that will always stay with me. We went through alot of tube feedings and all nighters when she was first rescued. So I am definatly very fond of her.
    Thanks

    She does look like she is pretty well-fed in those pics. Are you keeping her separate from other geckos? I'd think she'd get bullied seeing as how she's only like half the size of the others. Good job keeping her alive!

    Thanks, yes she is seperated. After quarenteen of the "baby leopard" the other pic (original I think that you saw) They were put together because they were about the same size, and Tiny nipped at the babies tail.
    I figure it's Tiny she's been through alott so It's ok..lol (ecspecially since the "baby" is fine). They are seperated and there are no plans of tiny living with any other geckos. She is just to small to be with adults and apparently she doesn't like the company of Juvi's either. So her being alone works for me.
    Thanks again
