How old is she? If she's a hatchling it looks fine, otherwise I'd say she's got a really skinny tail.

[Dark_Angel_x322]

it does look a little thin.. how old/big is she? could it be because of her age... also how long have you had her? She is beautiful tho. Where can i get one like her and how much will I have to save? :D

I'm not a Gecko person but it looks good to me.

A little skinny, but have you bred her this year? She may just need some extra feedings and calcium/D3 to get her tail in shape again. Try to give her well gut loaded crix using lots of carrots, romaine lettuce and high quality fish food flakes for protein. And maybe a pinky and some waxies.

Though some leos just never get a huge tail like others do.:D

Her tail does look a little on the skinny side, unless she's a hatchling... I'm sure you'll get her fattened up in no time though :D

[Colonel SB]

Geez I forgot...She was born in late June early July as of yesterday she weights 10.7g :) Sorry about not putting more info in the original post...LOL Tim she is a little young to breed he he he.

[Colonel SB]

Oh Erika Call Teresa from the Tarzets she has the best geckos IMO and they usually run $80-100 CND :)

[Emily-Fisher]

Well she's young so I'm sure that she'll be fine :) She looks a bit like a banana blizzard to me. I'm no one to talk to about blizzard morphs though because when it comes to them, I'm totally clueless. However, she is very yellow for a normal blizzard...

[CDN-Cresties]

She looks a bit thin, but im sure that she'll be fatting up soon. Good Luck :thumbsup:

[Emily-Fisher]

It's good to worry. You're no dork either! You're just a responsible parent who wants to make sure that their child is safe!

and another normal patternless born on May 22, she is about 14 grams.

So 10 grams is great for her age. ;)

Wow zookeeper that amel patternless is awsome....But flake is a blizzard :p she is just really dark right now I donno why.

[damzookeeper]

Oh Duh! I just went back and read that. lol, That will teach me for staying up past my bedtime!! lol.
I wondered why she was showing so much yellow at a young age! Boy I feel stupid now. lol.
Anyway, she is really cute! That is what counts the most. :D
She may be dark, then, just because she is a blizzard, little buggers, they like to keep you guessing! J/k.
I would definately check the temps, temps are one of the main keys to a healthy, hungry leo imo. I think they also factor in on the shade the lizard is too to some extent. But I wouldn't worry, I have a few that get dark from time to time and then a couple hours later I will check on them and they are as bright as ever.
But I didn find my babies got more of an appetite at 90 degrees than at 85. May sound funny to some but that is just my experience. For example I just fed out around 1000 mealies last night for about 30 babies and their dishes are pretty much empty this morning. I go through at least 20 000 mealies a month, not including the crickets!
Here is my blizzard momma. :D
She was always dark in her last enclosure (it had dark walls to it), now in a rubbermaid rack system she is lightening up considerably. She has been in there for almost 2 weeks.

Thanks I keep all my leos at 88 degrees, they are in a reack systems. She is usually dark during the day time but at night she looks like a normal blizzard. I like to checkin on them seeing as they are noctural I don't wanna miss nothin he he he :)

My baby was born May 18 and weighs 20 grams, so a baby born in June or July at more than 10 grams sounds good to me.
