Hey, i came across this forum a few days ago and have been working my way through the threads. There's some lovely leo's out there, so i thought i would introduce mine

His name is Galactica and he's about 5 months old now. I *think* he's a boy, but i'm not 100%! (He's our first reptile, so only going from pictures on the net, ultimately it doesn't matter as he's housed alone and we'd be happy with either as have no intentions to breed him)

Had him since he was very little (i doubt more than a hatchling tbh, about 2 inches long and 5-7 g) but he is the loveliest thing. Easy to handle, likes to fall asleep on your leg or stomach or even your hand when you're typing He also doesn't seem to like his hides and prefers to sleep in the open. If we're sat on the sofa he lies on the side of the viv closest to us and if bf is on his computer (next to the viv) then Galactica will lie on the side closest to his daddy. He loves to watch what we're doing We both love him to pieces.

Here are some photos, taken at various ages (stated by each pic)


He loves to sleep with his chin resting on things (he's about 3 months here)



About 4 months here, not sure what morph he is.


V pretty face

Again about 4 months

Love this picture, he looks suspicious





He likes to sleep in the duvet

I'll stop gushing now

Also he's about 5 months old now and 8 inches long! Is this big?

Gorgeous, I love him!! I'm not sure but I believe that is about normal length

[Allee Toler]

He's a good normal size. He's a Hypo tangerine.

Cool We didn't know the morph.

When i look up hypo tangerine they don't appear to have spots. Will Galactica's fade/disappear as he gets older?

[IslaReina]

No, yours is a hypo tangerine, which means he will still have some spots. Super hypo tangerines, like my Nova, don't have any spots on their body

[zombiecakes]

Ah cool It's nice to find out what he is, tys <3

Mr. Botan also loves to sleep resting his head on things. Usually his water bowl or mealworm bowl. Mr. Botan is about 8 months now. Here are his color changes between a 2 month period.
