Stunted growth?

FlammySnake Feb 14, 2006 07:10 AM

I have an albino female that in april or so will be a year old. But she is without a doubt smaller than my other geckos by maybe an inch or two. What could have cause her to not be as large?

Bad husbandry, such as a lack of food.

Which type of Albino is it? I've seen where they say the Bell Albinos tend to be on the small side as compared to most other Leos.

how many grams is it? it could be lack or food and or improper temp..but if this is the only one...maybe a different strain ? I have a female like that which i think was effected by light and or temp variables...i put her through a cooling and dimmed the light..warmed her up and increased the light...she's gaining size finally
