Leeloo looks like a Hypo Tangerine to me. You can post his/her picture in the morphs and genetics section on here to get more opinions.

Welcome to GeckoForums.net, Maria!!! Your FBT enclosure is great! LeeLoo looks like a tangerine, possibly a hypo-tangerine... and I think it might be old/big enough to sex ;)

awesome tank! The only thing I would have to say is that I recommend using belly heat rather than a lamp. If you are going to use a lamp, get a red bulb. Leos are nochturnal and the white light can stress them out. Other than that, you've got everything looking great! If they are together, make sure they are both females. A male won't hesitate to breed a young female, and two males can fight and cause damage to each other. Good luck! Hope that helps a bit. Hopefully you can look at our site soon. :D It should be going soon....

Thanks guys! I do have a UTH but I thought I would give them a basking light, I liked the fixture because it has a control for dimming, ..Leeloo seems to like it and has been lying inbetween the driftwood and hot hide all day..I do have a red light but it's an LED, I don't know the sex of em' yet I want to sex them but Leeloo was sheding the other night and now mooshu is hanging out in the shed hide so i will wait till they are more settled in before doing the flipping over

the frogs love the paludarium and bark all day ;)
