Evolution of colors , shed after shed.

[OffshoreMetal]

Hey everyone , Today my Leo shedded for the 4th time.I have him since August 15. I decided to show pictures of what he looks like after each shed. I also want to know if it is a Normal or a High-Yellow and if someone can , How hold he is.
You can also see how much he grew :biggrin:

After 3rd Shed:



After 4th Shed ( Today :biggrin: ):
First time i see him in his humid hide.

 

[CapCitySteve]

yeah I think it's a high yellow normal pattern and also has some nice tangerine coming in on it's body. As for age since it's currently still developing its color, some of which might stay and some of which might go away, I'm confident in saying that it's under a year old and at least 3 mos old. How much does it weigh? sex?

 

[OffshoreMetal]

Thanks, And i Cannot weight my leo since i have nothing to weight it. And for now it is a female , But it may just be too soon to sex him.

Yeah , If it wasnt of the pictures , I would not have noticed it :biggrin:
When you see it everyday , You dont notice the small changes. Like this i can clearly see how much he has changed and how much he grew. I compared the first picture ( in the cave ) and the last one , In the same cave. He has almost doubled in Lenght. And i cant believe it is the same gecko Its been exactly 1 month and 13 days i have him.He/She change so fast !

It keeps getting darker ever time.

Yepp i really it Because it is my gecko , I think hes the most beautiful of all. But thats the same for everybody :banana:

That was really neat to see! Thanks for the great pics. What size is the cave he's in (the one in the first and last set of pictures)? I'm thinking of getting one for my gecko but I don't want him to outgrow it too fast!

 

[OffshoreMetal]

The cave is a Exo-Terra Reptile Den Medium sized. Is is exactly 8 1/4 Inches long (21 cm ) but like you can see the interior is a little smaller. I think the Large one will be better for a long term use. I will probably buy a large one when ill get more lizards and use this one for another vivarium.
They can be used in any type of vivarium ( desert , Tropical, Etc.. ) And they come with a magnetic cover. So your gecko will like it and you will be able to see him at anytime without opening the vivarium.

Anyone else that can tell me if its a Normal or high Yellow ?

5th Shed

She shedded about a week ago , So i took some pics today and tought i would keep this thread updated.

 

[Gecko Love]

I love how you are keeping up with the progress of your gecko in photographs. I hope I can do the same with mine as he/she grows. It is only a juvenile right now. My baby

 

[CSMGecko]

I would definitely have to say that she is a high yellow. I have a female that looks just like her. There isn't a lot of spotting which is the difference between Normal, High Yellow, and Hypo.

I have staged pictures of all my hatchlings on my iherp page, www.iherp.com/csmgecko. It is really neat to see them in the different stages of development and how there patterns and colors change.

 

[OffshoreMetal]

Thanks. This is the 5th shed since i had her. I do not know how hold she is, They didnt told me when i bought it. Anyone can tell by the pics how hold she can be ? Like someone said previously shes for sure over 3 months old and less than a year.

 

[CSMGecko]

If she is just getting color and weighs in at 20 grams then I would have to guess based on the growth of my babies that she is anywhere between 3-4 months.

 

[OffshoreMetal]

Ok. Im not sure how much she weight cuz i have nothing to weight her. It will probably be the next thing i buy.

 

[OffshoreMetal]

you said earlier

There isn't a lot of spotting which is the difference between Normal, High Yellow, and Hypo.

Does that mean she will have less black dots when she will be Adult ?

 

[CSMGecko]

She will probably keep the spotting she has. Maybe a little less or so but if you look at my iherp page,iHerp : Online Husbandry, Community, Tracking, Reptiles, Photos, Tracking, Breeding, Snakes, and More!, because I don't have pics on the PC I am using now and look at the difference between CSM-005 and CSM-010. CSM-010 has a ton more spotting than CSM-005. And yours looks a lot like my adult female High Yellow. Same type of pattern and spotting. She is also on my iherp page.

 

[CSMGecko]

Hypos are considered when there is less than 10 black spots on the body.

 

[OffshoreMetal]

Oh i clearly see the difference now. In the High yellow , there is spots only where the bands were when he was a hatchling, But the Normal develops black spots where there wasnt any black at all as a hatchling.
Thanks.
