Hi guys, down below I have attatched a picture of my new blizzard gecko. I got her the same store (which I work at) as I got my other 2 females and I have no idea how old she is! She doesn't have a fat tail at all it's about the same width as her body, my question is, is that normal for her age, however old she is? WP_20140621_006.jpg

She looks pretty good to these eyes, maybe could use just a tad more weight in her tail but don't think it's something that needs to happen super quick. Very pretty girl too!

Yes, I am also suspicious of the "blizzard" label here.

As Megan said, she could use a little more weight, but she's not thin. I'm not great with aging geckos, but she certainly appears to be a juvenile ("teenager"? lol).

Thank you roth, and I'm not good with morphs but I googled blizzard babies and one that looked exactly like her came up with some other's, if anyone can tell me different please let me know! And she's way smaller than my two other ones, who are about 1 year old, not by length but girth.

I don't think young blizzards generally have a pattern when they hatch. That gecko looks like it has a few neck spots that are fading. I might say Murphy's Patternless? Hard to say for sure without knowing the genetics. She looks young and healthy. They generally have moderately fat tails until they stop growing. Once they stop growing most extra calories head to their tails :)
