I recently noticed the coloring on my adult female Sikorae's belly has changed. I've tried researching this, but haven't gotten anywhere. Is this normal? There has been no change in her routine (eating/sleeping/pooping) since May and when the coloring started to appear. I started noticing a slight pinkish hue about it about 2 weeks ago, but the color is now more vivid now.....ideas?

I recall this one the sikorae I used to keep. They were perfectly healthy the 2 years I kept them, and the color would just come and go occasionally, never really tied it to anything in particular.

Glad to hear that this appears to be normal for them. I'm kinda hoping that it's a hormonal thing and she's ready to breed.

I have a sub-adult male that shows some nice reds on his ventral side every now and then. Have not had any problems with him at all.

Thanks Jan! I'll keep an eye on my male also and see if he does any color changing at all; sofar I haven't noticed it on him.

I have one male and one female that both have the red orangish belly most of the time.

I also have a female that shows some intense red/orange coloring on her stomach and she has been perfectly healthy since I have had her.

Jack - gorgeous coloring!!!!

I'm glad to hear that everyone else's Sikoraes also do this coloring change.

Jack...that male has big feet...

Yes, his feet are the biggest I have ever seen. He is also the meanest gecko I have as well. Will not tolerate males or females in same enclosure at all.

Here's some more pics of his red under body, and large feet.
