The new baby (and the old one too)

[Poppy243]

So I purchased a new gecko last week, my second, and BOY is she BEAUTIFUL! I knew she'd be pretty orange but DANG she ended up being a lot brighter in person than her sale picture! I just had to show her off!

Clementine
Tremper Sunglow Enigma het Eclipse
18g

You can catch glimpses of just how orange she is in person in some of the photos. The lighting in the dorm room where I took these isn't the best but I'm gonna work with what I've got!
I love the hint of carrottail at the base of her tail from the Sunglow. I can't wait to see how that tail speckles up too! The stripe so lovely. And her eyes are super cool, but compared to the big girl, she looks a bit more angry with those golden-brown eyes hahaha. Maybe as she gets older she will look less angry

Clementine was purchased from the lovely people at Fire 'n Ice Geckos. Thanks Ben & Brenda for the beautiful girl!

Here is my other girl. She's older, bigger, and not nearly as calm as Clementine, surprisingly...

Poppy
Het blizzard, tremper, eclipse ("Leopard print" pattern!)
>32g (that was her last weight several weeks ago, it's probably at least 35-40g now)

She's shedding in these photos (obviously) but everything but her head has pretty much shed. She's got hints of lavender in the "leopard print" spots on her back. I'd call her "normal" because she isn't a true normal but also doesn't necessarily display any particular morph. Obviously her genetics has had an effect on her patterning though. She's a funny gecko and I especially love to tong-feed her! Clementine hasn't totally figured it out yet and has a tendency to miss her mealworm target but Poppy will come out of her hide and watch me if I'm holding the tongs, even if they aren't inside her cage yet! And if I accidentally drop the mealworm she will strike at the tongs, be extremely confused for a split second, then snatch it when I pick it back up. She's super amusing to watch when she feeds!

Poppy was purchased from Ben Siegel Reptiles.
