My new gecko

I am not a breeder just a lover of all animals. I have only posted here a couple of times about my almost 2 year old female gecko shctb Vada. Vada was from Petco, she had dropped her tail and my best friend who worked there brought her to me. Anyway over the past couple of months I have had a hard time keeping my crickets alive so I went to Petco today to pick up some canned worms to see if I could get Vada to eat them... and something made me take a look at the leopard geckos today (I usually don't because they don't care for their reptiles very well there and it ticks me off so I avoid it). They had the normal tank full of hatchlings, all looked like normals to me... and in the tank above them was a tailess "Adoption" leo in a tank all by itself. I decided to adopt it because it was so teeny tiny.. so here is my new leo Ubu...any ideas about her/his color? Anyway to tell what sex it is at this size?

that's a very stressed out tremper albino, but with some TLC it'll color up and give you years of joy.

please get that stuck shed of it's toes though

Thanks,

I already got the stuck shed off its toes, that was one of the first things I did after getting it all set up in its tank.

That is a sweet baby, and it´s lucky that it got a new caring home!
And as Paul says...with som TLC it will grow up to be a beautiful gecko :)

Thanks guys. I feel lucky to have found her/him. I adore my shctb girl Vada, I wasn't really looking to get another leo just yet, and when I did I wanted to get a girl about the same size as Vada so I could house them together in my 30g. But this little thing just tugged at my heart strings. Right now I have her in an xtra large kritter keeper because she is so small a 10g would swallow her. I am going to go pick up a 5.5g with a screen later this week for her to stay in until she gets a bit bigger... then I will move Vada up to the 20g and put Ubu in the 10g for a while. Hopefully someday Ubu will catch up to Vada in size and they can be housed together.

Here is a photo of Vada
