*faints* It was meant to be!!!!!!! I am completely shocked!!!! Best christmas present

[Zynx_Keekeio]

You guys are never going to believe what my parents got me for christmas from Pets mart!!!

They got me a male mack snow enigma!!! NO JOKE for 90$!!!!! They didn't know what they had!! I walked into ******** inteding to get crickets and I always go see the leos as I assume you all do as well.... and I saw they had a crested and they didn't so I asked if I could see their "jumbo" leopard geckos lol and she showed me the first one and he was a normal, about to shed quite cute, then she pulled up the log and my mouth dropped, my heart stopped, my eyes widened and I squealed like a little girl and I immeaditly snatched it and began to freak out to my dad about this, the ******** girl was laughing at my excitment, she kind of new it was a more exspensive one, she looked online but because they got it in with a batch of normals they couldn't sell it for more. I am so so so so so extatic. I couldn't even believe my dad said yes. I am freaking out right now. This is what I was looking for exactly!!!! But i couldn't afford any of them. But this one had no shipping and UUUUUHHHHHHHHH AAAAAAAAA *screams* he is gorgeous, and he 100% male...I saw. and he has no kinks, he's perfectly healthy! He has a two week gareuntee and I'm so happy this is the best christmas present EVER!!!!!!

His name is tortilla.

Thank you guys and I know I couldn't believe it myself either! A male! A MSE it's awesome. Now I don't know how old he is, but he has to be around Zynx and keekeios age because he's about the same size but he'll grow some more.

 

[Zynx_Keekeio]

OKAY I HAVE PICTURES!!!!!

They aren't really nice photos they are just quick snapshots beacuse I don't want to stress him out by carrying him around and setting him down and blah blah blah


Anyways here are some photos of Tortilla Chip!!

And yes it does look like he has an eyelid deformity but he doesn't I checked he was all good before I bought him, I guess he was just squinting his eyes there. and he has a black spot on his eye so it looks dented when it's not.

 

[Zynx_Keekeio]

OMG NOOOOO WAIT, i went back because that eye thing looked strange, but I knew I had looked over him to make sure he was good and well the photos seemed weird and I was like I wonder why he did that......now I know why

He does have an eyelid deformity...... you can see it in his full body shot.... *slaps face* How could I have missed this. HOW!!!

I'm so dead, like the only reason why my dad paid for part of him for me is because he knew I could breed him and sell the babies for a lot (because he doesn't see how beautiful they all are) but now that I see this I can't breed him *cries*


No wonder he was for sale at ********... although he was in with another male. maybe he bit it off? -shakes head- doubt it

 

[cheeseball705]

someone slipped up there. congrats

 

[Zynx_Keekeio]

someone slipped up there. congrats

yeah... I did.

I still love him to death it's just now I can't breed him and I can't get anymore geckos and my dad's going to be mad at me for missing that and spending so much on what he thinks is a ton on a gecko. yes it is a lot but not for that gecko.

What's wrong with his eyelids?

 

[Crazygecko]

Yeah I dont really see to much wrong with his eye. On the real close up shots of his head I personaly cant see anything wrong with it. Its a very handsome boy.

 

[Zynx_Keekeio]

What's wrong with his eyelids?

part of his eyelid is gone, like you know the flap that goes over the eye, -runs to take a picture-

 

[thestack510]

I have good news for you. I think the minor eyelid deformity is not genetic. It is likely due to incubation temperature fluctuations. He can still be bred.
