Evolution of colors , shed after shed.

[Leopardgeckoz]

Correct me if I am wrong but it looks like she is growing more spots as she has been getting older. But it will probably stop duplicating when shes fully into the adult stage if she is not already.

 

[OffshoreMetal]

Atcually she dont have any new spots, As she's getting bigger the spots appear more small but stays the same size.
Here you can see that the spots didnt really changed
EDIT: Oh i noticed she as a couple more dots where the first stripe was , And of course the tail has more.
Shed 1:

Now ( shed 5 ):

I would imagine that she is done spotting. Maybe get some more orange in the tail or something, but she looks to be fully color developed IMO.

 

[OffshoreMetal]

K , Thats what i tought. I didnt saw alot of difference after 4th shed until 5th shed exept she got more orange on her tail. She also takes more time between each shed, At first she would shed every 1 weeks or so , Now between the 4th and 5th it took like 3 weeks. but she's still getting bigger

It is so cool to see the changes after each shed. I wish I had taken pictures after mine shed as he was changing pattern/color. I didn't think of that till after the majority of his color had changed. I do have pictures that show how different he looks from when I first got him and how he looks now. Its amazing how much they change.

Very drastic changes. Leos are so cool!

The orange on her tail is beautiful. It is such a vibrant orange!

Haha suck a major change !
I like how they grow fast and like you said , Change colos really fast.

Seeing the change in colour and pattern is amazing, although sometimes the changes aren't so obvious: my blizzard female mainly just got a few paradox spots. I'm not sure how much she weighed when I got her, but that is an egg carton top she's sitting on in the first pic, and in the second pic she weighs about 65g.

6Th shed this morning :biggrin:. She's also getting a little fatty Ill feed her a little less

 

[Captain Stitch-Mozart]

Do you think that the medium size cave is a good size or do you think she is out growing it? Im asking because I want to get one for my new gecko but I don't want him/her to outgrow it. Would you suggest getting a large? I can't really tell how well your gecko fits and moves around the medium size.

 

[OffshoreMetal]

She can fit well in the Medium cave , She sometimes sleep on the second floor wich is really small. This is because it is deep enough for her to turn around so she's fine for now. But i think that when she will reach adult size, Ill have to buy a large one. Not sure tho.
I suggest that you pay a little more and get a large one. you will be 100% sure he/she wont outgrow it.

 

[Captain Stitch-Mozart]

Thanks. I found it online but I cant find an option to buy it. Did you buy it in a store or online?

 

[OffshoreMetal]

I got it from a store. I just looked a site i buy most of my stuff ( i think they ship to Usa too ) And they dont have any.Teh cave is called Exo Terra Reptile Den ( just in case you dont have the exact name ) Ill try to find one , If i do ill Pm you.
Personally , I think they are really nice. My Gecko LOVES it and i really like to take a look once in a while so i can without disturbing her too much ( Depends on the light in my room ).

7Th shed, Colors didnt changed alot but she's still getting more Orange on her tail.



Cute face

[Captain Stitch-Mozart]

I dont know if it was your picture i saw but i already had one for my hermit crab. He was not using it so ive putted it in my gecko tank Sadly my gecko doesnt seem to like his hammock. Ive seen him on it 1 time. But since they are nocturnal she probably goes in it more often and i just dont see her.

How many gallons is your tank?

20 gallons aquarium.

 

[Allee Toler]

Yeah I posted a picture, and you mentioned having one laying around. Lol. GiGi loves her hammock.

 

[Kagome100]

High yellow with maybe some Hypo or tangerine in her.

Ok wasnt sure if it was you

High yellow with maybe some Hypo or tangerine in her.

Thanks , I have tought about this but you are the first to say it. I tought that because her tail has more orange than the High-Yellow and Normals i saw. She's still getting more orange after each shed. I wish her tail gets fully orange with the black stripes ( the black striped on her tail doesnt seem to get smaller neither bigger... Just stays the same ).
