Hi,
This is a plea for help! I think I've posted this in the right place - sorry if it's not - mods please move if there is a better place for it
I'm a 3rd year student currently doing my dissertation with University of Northampton/Moulton College in conjunction with the RSPCA, and my topic is about developing a body condition score chart for leopard geckos. Part of what I need to do is test how user-friendly the chart is and to do that I'm running an online questionnaire that asks participants to use the chart to rate a number of photos of leopard geckos. I'm struggling to find enough leos with a range of body conditions and I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me please?
What I'm looking for are photos of leos that range from underweight to normal to overweight, doesn't matter if the photos are old or current. I'm particularly keen to get a few skinny or fat gecko photos (maybe geckos that you rescued and were in a bad condition?) but any will be fine. If anyone would be willing to share a photo(s) I can use I would be really grateful! Ideally it will be taken from directly above the leo, showing the body clearly from head to tail. Any leo can be used, there aren't any restrictions, but it would also be really helpful if you could let me know the age and sex of the gecko, as well as the model of the camera/phone you took the photo on (for use in the dissertation).
All photos will be anonymous within the questionnaire, I will be crediting photos in my dissertation report unless otherwise requested so please let me know if you'd rather stay anonymous as it's not a problem. Happy to answer any questions you might have via this post or PM. You can upload the photo to this thread or if you prefer, PM me and I'll give my email address.
Finally - thank you for reading, really hope someone can help
