Meet Drogon (aka Lil' Flip)

[Jstoker1238]

My gecko Kahleesi started laying eggs a couple of months ago and after a couple of pairs. .she laid one single egg, followed by a couple more pairs. I gave all of the eggs to my local reptile store except for the one that was laid without a clutch mate. I incubated it and it hatched yesterday evening. One of the koolest things I've ever witnessed! Meet Drogon, aka Lil' Flip. Any one know what morph he is?

Thanks! His Energy is incredible. .he hasn't stopped running around since he came out of the egg!
Any idea on his morph?

Nah, I'm no good at that. I just go by what the breeders tell me LOL

haha gotcha. I am trying to figure out what the mother is as well in a different post. .haha maybe some day I'll figure it out!

From this pic I would say a snow (a bit hard to tell with the lighting), and also it has a pretty stunted tail by the looks of it which could be due to some temperature fluctuations while incubating, or it could be genetic.

i agree. Looks snow or mack snow

thanks for the replies, here are a few more pictures that I took today.

Here is Lil Flip after his First Shed yesterday. . which took him 11 days to do after hatching.

it truly is a wonderful experience. i miss breeding. he/she looks adorable its a very long hatchling but I love the little short tail soooo cute :3
i would defo say mack snow.
i did post on your picture of the mother, i shes defo a mack snow. what was the male?

 

[Jstoker1238]

His tail is short! I wish I knew what the male looked like. When I bought the mother from the reptile store she had already been mated. A couple weeks after I got her home she laid two eggs, which she smashed up before I had a chance to remove them from the humid hide. Then a couple weeks later she laid one single egg, which I decided to incubate and that's how I got Lil Flip. She's laid about 3 more clutches since then but I've given them all back to the reptile store. .That's too many gecko's for me right now. .

I know right Yes I am keeping Flip. I actually had to take him to the vet last week because he hurt his leg during his first shed. I don't know how he did it but the Vet thought he had pulled it somehow. .any way. .he's made an amazing recovery from that and is doing well again. Here is a video of him eating his crickets. .check out his itty bitty tail wiggle. .haha

I'm glad your hatchling bounced back also! What was going on? Here is a video of what happened to Flip.
Baby gecko weird legs. - YouTube
It had me worried all to hell.

 

[Jstoker1238]

Lil Flip is growing! I'm so glad his legs aren't see through any more and you can no longer see the veins.

 

[sausage]

awwww poor baby. im glad the leg mended
yeah hatchlings are weird when they are all see through and veiny

 

[Jstoker1238]

Haven't been on here in a while, but wanted to post an update. Lil' Flip is 7 months old now and still doing great
