Pics (a follow-up from weight post)

Sunfox Feb 08, 2007 03:59 PM

I was wondering if any of you can tell me if this is a healthy gecko. I took as many pics as I could. Is his body shape ok?

Also, what morph is he? He looks like a buckskin but he's yellow.

Thanks for your help.

Looks like he could use a little bit of a weight gain, but overall looks like a healthy gecko. As for morph, looks like a buckskin, possibly tiger.

It could be a brindle, I think that's when the tiger striping continues down the gecko's sides.

the best way to see if he is in good health is yo open his mouth and check his calcium sac's if they are bulging then he is good if not you would need to add extra calcium to his food and keep an eye on him to make sure he does not crash. also you could take a fecal sample to a vet and have it examined but from the pics he looks good. could be fattened up a bit though

check calciumsacks of a male?

and why to hell are only fat cresteds healthy? they live longer and healthier if they are kept on the slim side.

Looks to be a healthy crested gecko to me. Buckskin brindle or tiger pattern.
