All I can hear is crickets over here in fat tail land. Doesn't anyone have any new ones or have something to say about these awesome geckos??:main_huh:

These things are gonna explode soon, I can't wait.

Well, here's something interesting about fat tails. I start my hatchlings out in racks and find that they get really light --lemon yellow and brown bands, with the color at the base of the tail and the head actually leaching out so they're almost translucent. I find that when I transfer them to display cages where there's more light and less humidity they get darker, though in general my fat tails (now from 2 different males and 3 different females) tend to stay light.

That's pretty cool Aliza! I'd like to see the lemon yellow ones!

Here they are as of late last month. They're still getting lighter (the one on the left is an amel):

I agree with Aliza's findings. I too notice that the fat tails we keep in racks tend to be much lighter than others that we do not. I'm curious to know if there is a biological or evolutionary reason behind it.

When I first saw the thread title, I thought I was at one of my bird watching sites!

lol

I don't have a new one but I'll agree about how awesome geckos are.

Be well

I'm going to put fresh batteries in my remote control to assure I won't miss the proper channel! And while I'm at it, I might break out the popcorn machine.

Thanks. Babies are all sold but one and are $40 for het amel and $60 for amel. Looking forward to next season already.

There is a dark colored one.. black/grey/brownish? I don't know their morphs, in the Petco (which has a surprisingly impressive reptile setup) near me. I think the same one has been there for a few months. I will admit I've been tempted. I don't have a cage for him/her at the moment though so the temptation has not been that pressing.

I believe the forums as a whole is chirp chirp chirp chirp. The fat tail section is just completely dead, and even all of the Leo forums are very very slow. Back in the summer I remember there being 20 times for activity, new pics every day, I don't know just a lot more fun. Anyone else feel the same?

 

[Desdemona]

I have been a little on and off the board myself so I don't really have much comparison. I was on here when I first got my Leo but phased out as I got busy... then got new Leos and came back, hehe. However, when I'm bored at work and want to talk Leo I am sad when there is nothing to respond too!
