COLOR ENHANCER

[leopardgeckolover]

Hi to all.. i just want to ask if there are color enhancer supplement for leopard geckos?

I dont know of any but I do know that if you keep your geckos healthy and happy their colors will be bright. However when they are stressed, sick, or kept at the wrong temperature their color will be dull.

thanks for the reply.. im currently testing one of my leos in an experiment color enhancing.. soon i will post it.. if there is a change in color..

Why would you want to enhance the colour of your leo? They're beautiful animals already. Enhancement is like...lying, don't you think? What purpose does it serve other than to make it look brighter? It can't carry on the colour in its genetics, so whats the point?

It's like getting a golden retriever and dying it black or something and saying you have a new breed. Just doesn't make sense to me.

because i want to see the difference between the natural and artificial

But then how do you know if the colors of the animal are true, or just an artificial tease. I mean ethically its just wrong, I mean there is always a chance that the colors that carry over into the next generation could be artificial. How would you or I know?

if i will be successful in this color enhancement i will breed it to my other gecko and if the color of that offsprings is stunning thats original color because i or you did not use any color enhancement to that offsprings.. only the parents is artificial..

what would be the purpose of artificial color, you know its fake, the only reason you would do it is it sell it, and then it would be a lie. there is no good reason to cheat at it.
