What is this?

Hi,

This morning I woke up and when checking on my geckos I found this:

She is housed with a male and another female. Does this look like a injury from fighting, or perhaps cricket bite (we fed them crickets last night).
She was not bleeding when we found her it was already stopped, but I did notice the 2 female shaking their tails at each other (they have been sexed and there are definately 2 females and one male).

Thanks for your info
Sabrina

its just a little bite mark from the male probley tryin to breed with here i have some of those on my females to

is it possible a larger female have done that too (she is a little bigger than the girl in the pic)? Or is that only a "breeding bite."
I didnt think that the male would possibly draw blood.

Oh, when they're exited, they SURE CAN draw blood. They can get pretty aggressive during copulation. Good ol' testosterone... Looks like it's healing already.

Yeah I would say breeding bite, if it was the other female being territorial she would probably have bites on other places as well.

That's a nice Bell Albino....well atleast that's what I think it is.

we are not 100% sure what she is but we were told by a few people that she is a tremper albino! Yeah is definately looks like its on its way to healing. So just on the head probably mating, if its fighting then I would be seeing it in other places too. Thats good to know!!

Thanks guys!
