Born wed. or thursday of last week *have it written down somewhere*
Was born very very small and it looked like she wasn't done eating the yolk sac or it was her umbical cord or insides hanging out, but in transfering her to her cage, it came off, it was pink and had veins. it was probably the size of a geckos eyeball. anyways the stomach after that just had that was all purple and red like internal bleeding, I thought for sure she wouldn't make it through the night despite her spunky attitude.

She shed last night, very successful and ate 6 small crickets today, she is doing really great EXCEPT one thing

Her chest looks all red, her stomach still looks purple and red and through her skin you can like tanish stuff, like when theres a bubble on a dead gecko, OH I can't think of another example.

Her face and legs and tail are all very very pale and almost transparent, like she is getting no blood to those parts of her body.


I didn't want to take any pictures because so far she has been my quickest baby to eat and I don't want to jynks it.

Any opinons?

oh i know what it's similar too. minus the blue and green add purple and red and you've got trempers "blue" gecko!


She's a MSB

if it's lasted this long i'm pretty sure it's gonna b fine.
if there was no circulation in the limbs they would turn nasty colors by now and the animal wouldn't b walking around.

sounds like it will be a very light colored gecko.
looking forward to pics.

good luck!

thats what i was thinking. her being a snow and albino makes it so much easier to see her insides through her skin. she should be fine. snap some pictures for us!

okay because it's weird, it's like she has no insides except for in her abodmen XD I see no blood vessels or a healthy pink tinge to her skin, she's all pale yellow like the white from something dead

might just be a light tanish wash over her from the snow influence on the bell albino gene. can you sneak some photos? i would love to see him or her!
