what is this, i think its a normal, given to me as hypo tangerine. definitely not hypo tangerine.
all help appreciated, thanks,

looks like a skinny normal with what looks to me like a regenerated tail. Get some fat on that girl my friend. She's very dark, although she may lighten as she gains weight and becomes used to her new home.

That looks like a sick, skinny, stressed out hypo tang to me.... You seriously need to put some weight on those leos you have.... Have they been in your care long or did you buy them like that..... In all honesty, they look horrible.... Sorry, but I call it how I see it....

BTW, that tail is not regenerated.... That is wat the tail of a sickly leo looks like....

Also, get them off the wood chips.... If you did alittle research before getting leos, you would most likely have some healthy looking leos instead of leos that look like they are at deaths door...

also seperate them ASAP, the chances of them having parasites is high and now, most likly, they both have the parasites. You should get a fecal done on both of them and treat them. Also definently get them off of the wood chips and fatten those guys up. Please don't repost here saying that you didnt come here to get lectured on how to keep your leos, i've seen it to many times and it just doesnt end up good, take our advice.

thanks for your help...

btw, the pic is from the person i recd them from. i have them on calci sand and im feeding them 1/2 dusted and with vitamins every other day.

they're not in the best of conditions right now so calcium sand isnt the best thing for them to be on right now, put them on paper towels until they get bigger.

I just wounder my leo are that skinny but alot fater tail should i be worried i feed them tons food. i just want my leos are heathy. i though was ok because such fat tails.

>>Also, get them off the wood chips.... If you did alittle research before getting leos, you would most likely have some healthy looking leos instead of leos that look like they are at deaths door...

Those wood ships are probably about the worst possible size for leos. They're small enough that the leos will eat them, yet big enough to get stuck in digestive system... and all those sharp edges... Poor guys.
