Thanks for your kind comments!?
For your info that is not normal color as all of the wild loes I have seen are much darker! Besides the photo doesn't do him justice!!!!!!!!!!

while, he didn't have to sound so offended by it, he is sorta right. the gecko is not a carrot-tail, though does have orange on the tail. many geckos get it, its very common, so its sorta normal. if you take normal as meaning wild type, well then no, its not, but it is normal for what is seen in captivity.

quite healthy! I will agree that he appears high yellow, maybe some reduced patterning. He has nice colored tang on his tail, but not enough to be a carrottail. (not to say he doesn't have any in him -I've produced animals from CTs w/o carrot - but he is not displaying carrot)Pretty animal.

I don't have a scale. So I can't answer that. He is the biggest I have ever seen or had.
