Arewyn (odd head shape)

[Zachary Albrich]

so i got a leopard gecko not too long ago and about a week later got 2 more. Now she is a petite little thing and has a particurlarly odd head shape. Short nose, big and almost moon-on-water reflective eyes (doesn't show up well on pictures)

heres another picture of her head

Odd looking but still very cute!

 

[mörten]

I think she is very pretty! She looks very sweet with those eyes and that nose

 

[TWreptiles]

i think her eyes are just bigger which makes them further set forward in the head, just a guess

 

[Zachary Albrich]

Yes, i see what you mean... I din't know her genetics but i think she'd make beautiful babies if i could get her to gain some weight she eats a butt load of food every day but remains slender i'll see if i could get her reflective eyes in a pic...

 

[Zachary Albrich]

Nope... The camera doesn't catch it the way eyes do

 

[ehebert]

What is it that you are feeding her?

 

[Bliss]

Maybe its worth testing for parasites if shes eating but not gaining? They are very easy to do.

 

[B&B Geckos]

Beautiful! A few of JMG's lines possess these traits, most notably their blood hypos.

i've also noticed with some of the urban geckos tangerines and super hypos have different head and eye shapes, possibly from the line breeding?

i have seen the odd one or two with larger eyes but nothing that large. she looks super cute though, as long as shes healthy i wouldnt worry bout the eyes too much

Ive have about 7 geckos, and after i got more and more i noticed how they all had distinct facial structures, so, i took pictures for comparison this Bell ive got has a more rounded face

While this MS RAPTOR has a huge bulky head, like some body builder or something. He's got small eyes, and a large head o.o

that might be to do with the gender males tend to have larger thicker heads than females

Haha my other male has a head thats large, and sort of thicker, but this dude reminds me of like a body builder bald guy's head. Large, bulky, and round. He's a beautiful gecko, though
