Venomous Leopard Geckos!!!!! What!!!

[Deko Gecko]

This is an interesting comment that a girlfriend ask me about hatchlings...
she told me that high yellow hatchlings look like they are venomous!!!!! because of the bright black and yellow colours they have.... Maybe this is some type of camuflage that hatchlings have to survive that dificult period of their lifes? What do GF think about this?

* LEOPARD GECKOS ARE NOT VENOMOUS !!!! THIS IS A FACT.... BUT SOME PEOPLE THE FIRST TIME THEY SEE A HATCHLING CAN GET CONFUSED AND THINK THEY ARE BECAUSE THEY HAVE BRIGHT BLACK AND YELLOW COLOURS...:main_robin:

Julian, normale natural colouration would be an indicator.

a high yellow is linebreed over years to increse the colour of the gecko. a Wildcaught babie might not be that colourfull.

If a Leopardgecko is as colourfull like high yellow babies it could mean "I´m venomous" but as said it is linebreeding to get this colour ;-)
