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?

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.

Poor thing did NOT like me messing with her feet (for now I'll refer to her as a girl) and THEN, I'm refreshing food for the cresties, and Uncle Kracker has stuck shed on his feet.


I can just imagine work on Monday - "so, what did you do this weekend?"

"Me? Oh, I just spend the weekend getting stuck shed off of gecko feet"!

LOL

Hey Emily, how much of her tail would you say is missing?

[mlededee]

i'd say she's missing about half of her tail.

Aww, what a cute little girl! You're like me; you need blinders when you go into pet stores. I haven't bought any pets out of impulse yet, luckily.
