This is pic of a leo that someone wanted to trade me. It came to me in a "paint" file. It looks as though they colored it in with purple coloring? They said no, just thought I would share! No I did not trade for it, too wierd looking ya think?

why would anyone paint it like that. it looks like a very normal gecko to me. anyway, its good to steer clear eith signs as obvious as it being a paint file.

your head will collapse, but there's nothing in it, and you'll ask yourself, "where is my mind"

if you have AIM, IM me at chichandoCONrosa

I don't think it was painted purple. The contrast's just been decreased, and that tends to make the colors funky. It's not suspicious, just a bad quality photo.

Lovin' would be easy if your colors were like my dreams...

I don’t think the animal was changed, as far as painting or dying goes. It is just a poor photo of a normal gecko. The tiles around him have the same tainted color.

That picture hasn't been altered. What happens when you blow up a very grainy photo like that is that the dialated pixels "soften" or smear... so you get overlaps of that type. I work on digital graphics with quite a few programs. That picture was taken with a very poor quality camera and lighting.. The colors are probably washed out due to low contrast and a too dark area.. The lavender color is probably just "visible" because of the low quality. And it will smear when the size is increased enough.
