    One of my leos

    Here's my male tremper albino leopard gecko shot on my $100 fuji P&S
    Michelle wanted a pick of him, so I figured I'd post it too.

    Nice light falloff with that $100 fuji. I really like it.

    So, is the thick tail specific to the tremper albino leopard gecko, or is it specific to the male? I have little experience with geckos, and was just wondering.

    All HEALTHY leos have thick tails. That's where the fat reserve is I do believe.
    (Ron)Tremper albinos are one of 3 amelanistic strains, but his are the Giants of the bunch. My 2 albinos are 8-9 inches already at under 7 months.

    Re: One of my leos

    Nice blizzard there John.

    All my others wouldn't pose well, but my female tremper tangerine albino is way sweet looking.

    I'm going for another red-stripe and a few R.A.P.T.O.R.'s next.(red eyed, tremper albino, patternless, tangerine, orange tail)

    Re: One of my leos

    Beautiful specimen there, Paul.

    Still, you've got to love geckos/reptiles to put one on your pillow Perhaps its Michelle's?!

    Would love to see some more up close and personal.

    Re: One of my leos

    My daughter is a gymnast, so when I heard "leo" I thought we might see you wearing something interesting (and out of character.)

    The lizard is cool, though, too. Thanks for sharing.

    Re: One of my leos

    cool critter, leos are my first reptile love...then came the rest

    I only have one now, a male I hatched in 2000 that came back as an owner give-up...had severe metabolic bone disease, from which it is just now recovering...


    anyway, LETS SEE THE REST!!

    Erik, most of my leos are camera shy, but I'll try today.

    It's 11 grams and counting (born in november I think). It appears female(can't find pores), but time will tell.

    I only had blizzards and high yellows.

    I had a few normals in the begining, but I sold them soon after I found the morphs!

    Hows this? High yellow, produced by me in 2000, sorry for the crazy jaw but he came back to me with severe nutrition problems...just now recovering fully, still drags a little when he walks because his leg bones bent as he grew

    The second shot was cropped down to about 1200x1000 px, then resized - i wanted the whole eye rather than some of it, as a 100% crop would give me.

    Edit: Woke up in the morning, didn't like the editing job I did last night, so re-upped same filename with different editing version - warmed the image, cropped the eye closer in the second shot. otherwise the same.

    Sorry to hear about the mistreatment of this animal, but he is a real beauty nontheless. Very nice close up on the eye. Insanly beautiful..:thumbsup:
