Orange dots on begining of tail ...

[crankypunk]

Well 1st time i tought it was the orange calci sand but more he/she grows and more dots keep comming. At the moment i can see about 4 - 5 orange dots.
I got this Leo @ a petshop is it possible its got a little mix in it ??
Or is it normal for a regular Leo to have orange dots apear even if not mixed ...

ill try to get pictures when he/she stops running around or hidding lol

Btw he/she is growing a lot :P i think its 6" now ill mesure when i get a chance ... at the moment i feed every day 6 crix but lately he/she eats only 4 of them and leave the others laying there ... does that mean i should start feeding every other day ?

its normal for some orange to appear. my normal male has some orange on his tail too.

yes, a little orange is normal... however if you suspect it might be something other than coloration, i.e., mites or something have it checked out. Your gecko sounds fine to me! My geckos both have a small amount of orange on them... post those pix soon, I look forward to seeing them!

pictures comming as soon as i can :P
also i got a 25 Gal today so once everything is transfered there ill have pix of the setup and gecko :D

Its normal my 2 hypos i got awhile back from crappy petco uhave grown dots. After awhile your leo may just grow carrot tail lie 1/3 of the tail will turn orange which is quite cool looking. also yellow dots are normal too.

It's a small portion of the trait "carrot tail" although it doesn't have nearly enough to be advertised as such.
