the first gecko has beautiful white markings down ist spine and legs, like lichen, very pretty very dark in colour. Where as the the new one, is fairly dull, not very bright at all..

Absolutely gorgeous! Are the greyish markings because of water or are those its own markings, really nice!

Thanks!
Yes, those are its own markings. When their colour is more dark red, like it is here, the lighter colour is bright white, but when their colours are dull, the white part is just a different shade of brown. I look forward to seeing them change as they grow up :)

Just to say i found a baby this morning, I'm guessing its a male, as it has a very notched taill, and its spikey. But it doesnt have the spot on its nose, or the tear drop...however i must admit i didnt look to closely.


EDIT - He does have the teardrops..Here are some pictures of him. He seems to be more mottled in green than the others, he also have some spikes, and a brilliant tail. 'Unfortuantly' he does have a slight underbite. Still beautiful though.

Yes! Keep on going! These teardrops distinguishes in sexes are becoming an interesting topic, at least I am amazed with some key determination characteristics being challenged :biggrin:

These baby is male. You can be shure if you see the searted tail. All males have bigger teardrops then females. Balck spots are caracteristic for male. Usualy there are some black spots on the snout but not allways.
