What Morph is she?

[BRANDY WYNE kENNELS]

I brought my first gecko back from 9 grams when I got her (almost an adult) to what you see now. It has only been 2 weeks since I got her to start eating so I am thrilled at her progress. I was wondering what morph she is. Her tail has alot of lavender, a light stripe down her back dark lavender along her sides, and brown spots near her stripe. Just curious.. I hope I attached this correctly, never did it before.

That's a "normal het whatever". It has some tangerine influence , but what it came from is a mystery only test breeding can solve.

nice looking though.

She looks like a High Yellow with Tang influence to me. How old is she? 9 grams doesn't seem possible for an almost adult.

That's why I'm so happy. When I got her she was thin, but would not eat anything at all. I even tried to give her appetite stimulant, mush, medications from the vet etc. She did not eat for one month. She got down to 9 grams from about 12 and the vet said to put her down because there was nothing else we could do. I wouldn't give up and finally got her to eat. The vet said she was approx. 8-10 months old so just think about how thin she was. Seeing her now made it all worth while. Being my first Leo I just could not give in and put her down.

That's wonderful! She's looking pretty good now!

Awesome Donna !!!

She may not ever get large due to stunted growth, but that has never stopped a gecko from being happy.

I'm not one for giving in easily. I am a wildlife behaviorist and sometimes it takes all the patience I have to get through to an animal (mostly Birds of Prey) and I get all my satisfaction seeing the end result. At this point, if Lily lives and is small, that's just fine with me. Just seeing her running around and eating is all I need. Even though she is not a fancy Leo, I think she's beautiful and never gave up on herself.

Raptors huh

Can you ID mine .....

I helped run a hawkwatch for a few years

It looks to me like an immature Broad Wing Hawk. Without seeing the topside, that's my best guess.
