This seems to be the place to ask!

I thought Leopard Geckos had more spots on them... hence the "leopard" part of their name... but my new little guy doesn't really...

Kirin:

Any thoughts/ideas? Also... are they able to be sexed this small? I think I gave my beardie a complex by calling her a "him" for a while lol

leopard geckos go through some very dramatic changes from baby to adult. you should check out the "before and after" thread to see what i mean. that looks a little too young to sex right now, but cute little guy/girl!

 

[RyuuKirin]

so pretty much, there's no telling now that's fine! i just thought I'd ask.

The original leopard geckos were very spotty but there seems to have been greater interest in a less spotty gecko, so even the "normals" are less spotty than they used to be.

here is one of my favorite normals...

 

[RyuuKirin]

that's definitely not Kirin- he's stripey!

He wont stay stripey. As he grows and sheds his colours will break up and become spotted.

+1 beat me to it

 

[RyuuKirin]

really? how cool! i wonder what he'll look like all grown up!

 

[prettyinpink]

It sure is fun watching them change! If you haven't already you should check out this thread 'before and after pics' it's a great look...at least i had fun looking at it

that's the thread i was looking for, lol. here is a pic of a normal baby of mine right after she hatched..

 

[RyuuKirin]

oh wow! she looks like a banded gecko there!

 

[fuzzylogix]

yep, its cool how much they change, but arguably the biggest change to me has to be the creamsickles. they start out black and white but the black turns into an awesome orange color as they get older

 

[RyuuKirin]

I guess I should have realized they all change... lol I mean, even my bearded dragon started out brown and kind of plain, now she's a beautiful light citrus I hope little Kirin doesn't loose the white behind his head though... I like it

im afraid he will lose the neck band too. sorry.

anyway yeh looks like a young normal. possibly hypo or super hypo.
