New Leo

[frankykeno]

Awww and you even got her girlie paper towels! How cute! I couldn't have resisted either LOL. Hey I had to harrass you for pics inbetween feeding and running the pups outside, taking care of my own gecko, making dinner, bathing a child, helping him with homework and doing the reading/tucking into bed routine....it was a lot of work fitting in bugging you in IM girlie! Congrats on the new leo!

Oh forgot to ask....any name picked out yet?

[rabernet]

Nope, no name yet - any suggestions?

CUTEness!!!! Um, how bout Docker????


lol... she's a doll!

[rabernet]

Docker - that's a cute name. I know Karl is thinking of names too.


Anyone have any clue what color she may become as an adult?

[JASBALLS]

Shes awesome!! I'd say you'll see alot of orange in her later on..

Thanks John! Are the blue eyes normal? In your opinion, does she appear overall healthy? She's currently sleeping in her humid hide. I love that they can close their eyes!

aawwww now isn't that just the cutest thing?! the photo of her disappearing into her humid hide is hilarious.

she is probably about a month old. you should be able to sex her soon, but you might have to use a jeweler's loupe or a magnifying glass to see any pores.

the blue areas on her head above her eyes are totally normal and will go away as she matures and gains more color.

she looks pretty good overall. could use a little fattening up but i'm sure that will take no time at all.

the black areas on her back will fade (when leos are born they have solid black areas so you can see that they have already started fading) and will either turn orangey (referred to as tangerine in leo speak) or just slightly darker yellow than the rest of her. the yellow areas will get brighter and darker.

her tail doesn't look bad at all. it will grow back in a bulb shape right there and might even be orange.

good luck with her and keep us up to date.
