She is stressed, no doubt from breeding from the looks of the bites on either side of her head. She seems to be of decent weight, and I'm sure she'll look better after he shed. I don't understand why folks can't wait until they're done shedding before taking pics...

I am certain those marks on the fleshy place behind her eyes are scabs and bruises from the male holding on to her during mating. It tends to show up more on albinos than other morphs. If someone removed her from the male, and put a little Polysporin on those areas, they would be mostly gone by this or the next shed.

They look like it to me.. those marks on the tail and head are atrocious and this guy should be vilified for allowing this animal to be over bred and in such poor condition. I've said this before. I wish the same rules that apply to mammals and some reptiles would apply to leo's and most exotics.

Poor little girl.
