I was just chatting with my neighbor today and she randomly asked if I would be willing to take a leopard gecko. She said she was kind of scared of it and was afraid she wasn't providing her good enough care. Being a leopard gecko lover, I thought "what's one more?" and said yes. =)

She's a normal (stripe, I'm pretty sure) but it doesn't matter because she is pet only of course. She's SO tiny! I've never had a leopard gecko so small. She's probably only 6 or 7 inches from head to tail. She came to me on sand, but has since been switched to paper towels and given proper heat. I actually think she's really pretty. I haven't had many normals before.

Nice looking gecko She looks pretty healthy. If you look at her from a distance you'll be able to see her banded markings, so I don't think she's a stripe.

Thanks. =) I'm enjoying her. And you're right. From a distance she does look banded. Close up, though, I feel like I see a stripe. But it doesn't matter. I think I would prefer banded. I like having a normal since I don't have any others. She'll make a good pet.

Maybe! She's two years old, so I'm not sure if she'll grow more. She's doing awesome, though, and eating like a horse! She ate 15 mealworms the first night. It should be easy to put a bit more weight on her. I don't mind her being small. It's kind of cute. =3 She's the only one I have in an actual tank. I figure I'll keep her in a tank instead of in my rack system. She can be my display leo, and my example of what they look like naturally.

What a cutie! She looks pretty nice and healthy, what a nice gift. I had a small leo once, she was a patternless and probably only 6 inches long. Cuter than a button.:nice:
