Valencia

[Lena]

Here's my pretty little girl! Got her from a vendor called 'M N M Reptiles' at the All-Maryland Reptile show.

She's labeled as a tangerine and is het for tremper albino.. Though it's been suggested that she's a super hypo tangerine carrot tail. If anyone could clarify, please do?

She's a lemony yellow. Oh! And her hatch date was 4/4/08.

 

[Morph]

yup Super Hypo Carrot Tail...maybe even baldy? awesome gecko !

She is a very nice shtct. Not a baldy because of the spots on her head. I don't see the tremper in the pic but if the breeder said she is het for tremper then she could be.

 

[Lena]

Thanks. I'm glad to hear I made a good choice. She stood out to me, I was on a mission to get a leo at that show to begin with.. And well, I dropped all my money on her. $50 bucks, not bad, I'd say.

 

[Ccrashca069]

I think you got a very nice leopard for $50.00. Looks like she is friendly and has a great temperment.

 

[Lena]

She was unsure at first but in just a few days she's become very comfortable with being handled. Never been mean or aggressive, if anything just fearful, which is to be expected.. But she's getting better every day.

Just today she's gotten over having her back or head touched. She used to tense up and arch if you were to run your finger down her back, but today I noticed she actually seemed to be enjoying it.

Some settle within minutes some take a few days or a couple weeks.

 

[Lena]

She's doing very well. Leos are wonderful. I have a day companion and a night companion now. Fonzie my Bearded Dragon keeps me entertained during the day. Val's actually on my shoulder right now.

If she can play bass I'd say she's worth may more than $50! lol Joking aside, she's really pretty. I think you made a good choice.

 

[Lena]

Unfortunately, I'm the one who plays bass and that doesn't increase my market value. Hahaha.

Thank you very much, I'm very excited to breed in the future. Val is just a little bundle of joy!

 

[Morph]

ok wasnt sure with the baldy i've seen some labeled as baldy with very few or faded spots which is why i thought it might apply. good pick up though for the price

 

[Lena]

I was curious myself. I read somewhere that it was 15 spots or less? Who knows. I don't know why they'd call it baldy if it wasn't almost totally spotless.

And thank you!

Hehe... I had to post in this thread. Valencia is how my hometown is called (Valencia from Spain, I'm aware there are several Valencias around the world).

You have a very pretty girl there.

 

[Lena]

Thank you! I named her after the famous Valencia oranges that are named for that very city in Spain. :O They are delicious!

Also after a song by a band called 'The Decemberists'.

But I think the first explanation suits her better, color-wise.

 

[dprince]

She looks great!! :main_thumbsup:

I didn't know Valencia's oranges were known worldwide But yeah, they are good! Now I suddenly feel proud, lol. Sometimes I miss living there...

I'll have to hear that song :main_rolleyes:
