she's changing...

[nikki9093]

My leo Idril apparently molted…her tail has orange to it and the spots on her body are fading. the banding on her head is changing too…hmmm…i know she's over a year old and that her previous owner did not give her the proper housing and care. she's gained weight and now her spots are fading. should i be worried?


Before(when i first got her)

After (possible molt)

No, that's what is supposed to happen when these guys grow to adulthood. Their bands continue to break up and fade until they reach their full size. That's why folks say you really can't know how spotted a gecko will be until it is an adult.
