[Lalain]

Curiosity kills me.

Well the lighting in the photo doesnt look natural at all so its hard to really get an idea of what your looking at

I'm not so sure I can tell exactly but she does look dark. There are two main influences on a leo's color: genetics and temperature. If a gecko gets cold for an extended period of time or if the egg is incubated at a low temperature their color tends to get darker. I've heard this is where "chocolate albinos" come from. For example, I have a super lavender sunglow girl that I was told escaped her cage and got lost for a few weeks after hatching (check out her picture in my showbox ).

I can't say for sure but IMO it kind of looks like her bands are dark from temperature. She also looks like she has a bite scar on the left side of her head, possibly from being kept in a group situation?

She's super cute and a pretty girl!

Are you talking about right behind the eyes?

Yea sorry about that I am posting and took images from my cellphone I am going to see if I can fix the camera settings and repost a better picture idk I'm almost positive she's a carrot tail the blotches being a temperature issue sounds probable I found her at petco... A carrot tail at a petco even shocked me I was like well your comming with me haha

I'm talking about right atop her head sorry for not specifying

There's a better image of her the discoloration n lil bits of blotches is my concern mainly I wanted to know if its genetic or cause for health concern my other geckos never showed features like this.
