Our new Leopard Gecko, Bella

Just bought this new Leo for my son. We are very excited to bring her home, but need to get her new home ready.

Thanks. I don't know exaxtly what kind she is but she is gorgeous and has such a sweet temperament. She seems to love being held. My son and I held her for about 10 minutes then went to put her back in her enclosure and she turned and climbed right back onto my hand and up my arm.

Looks like a super hypo tangerine carrot tail

Cute lil tang! Congrats on your leo!

Definitly a Super Hypo Tangerine...carrot tail is pushing it as technically the "carrot" should have no spots in it and it should cover atleast 30% of the tail!

Congrats on the sweet addition

Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking she had to have Tangerine in her

Update. We brought her home Sunday afternoon and she has still not eaten yet. I know it is normal, but I am still anxious for her to eat. She has pooped a few times and is exploring her new home like crazy. She seems like she is more interested in trying to climb out of the tank than she is in eating. I have 6 small mealworms in her bowl and have put in 4-5 crickets each night for about 1 hours. But she completely ignores all of them. I'm sure she will settle in soon. I bought her for my son, now my daighter is already bugging me for one of her own. I think we might be at the Reptile show in Buffalo looking to add to our family.

So excited. She's finally eating. 3 Crickets and 2 Superworms in the last few days. My son and I are loving watcing her. Here's a new picture. Her color seems to be fading a bit and we can see big dark spots developing. I'm guessing she is getting ready to shed soon. I cannot wait to see what changes she goes through. We are excited for the Buffalo Reptile Show on Sept 11 so we can bring home Leo #2. Any of you planning to attend the Buffalo show?
