Her color has come back, and she has gained about 7 grams since I found her. She at 40 grams now, and I have not bred her yet...am hoping she gains another 5 grams fast!

Lost her last November, found her a month and half or so ago, in the kitchen, near the stove, when I went downstairs to get a glass of water in the kitchen at 3am or so. There she was, staring up at me, right by the garbage can. I think she has been living under the stove or the fridge where it was warm, or maybe she had been lured in there by the cricket that got loose in there and was chirping for a couple days until suddenly- it stopped!
She had lost some weight but really didn't look too bad considering.
I was extremely happy to find her safe and healthy, especially since she is the best tang albino I have ever produced (or seen anywhere, for that matter). I thought after that long, she must have crawled into a heating vent and into the furnace or something, but no, she was just fine.
It sounds amazing, but I don't know of one person here who has lost a gecko and not found it alive eventually. One person told me that they lost a hatchling and found a full grown gecko almost a year later. They can be more resilient than we think. They are survivalists...they are from the desert, after all.

Those colors are intense!
I was just curious to see how Lola recovered, and by the looks of it everything has been going very well with her.
I bet you cant wait until she puts on a little bit more size and is ready to breed!

not like the ones Ive seen promoted on Classified as tang albino's. She is a stunner, would make beautiful hatchlings.
