How nice of you to help this neglected gecko.This little Leo is a rescue. Believe it or not it is 1 year old and is about 3" long. The people who got it from Petco got bored with it. It had no supplemental heat and was rarely fed or watered. The substrate was back yard dirt. I have had it about a month and its doing great.
Probably ate a lot of dirt beforehand, I'm sure crickets taste much better!It eats like a pig!
Jungle, some folks might call this a high yellow jungle. Those spots look like they will be lavender on the back, then I would call it a high yellow lavender jungle. Very nice, and likely one of Bill Brant's leopards.The question is what would you call its color/pattern?
At that size it might be tough if you don't know what you are looking for. Just look for the usual stuff, presence (male) or abscence of (female) hemipenes. Sexually mature males have waxy exudate coming out of their femoral pores, which are bigger than those of females.And is there any way to tell its gender yet?
Likely a female, most big breeders don't use male temps.Obviously, I don't know what temp it was incubated at. Thanks, Cyndy
