No, I still don't want to. I like being able to just email off my reviews and let someone else do the uploading work for me. :)

I have to say, that gecko is awesome but something in the neck/head profile feels off. Like the dorsal line across the head -neck-back should be relatively continuous or something.
Of course, we can only currently compare our leopard and AFT with photos (PS what morph is your AFT? It's even paler than ours!)

I don't know for sure what morph my AFT is but I think it's probably just an "albino". I adopted him from a PetSmart about 7 years ago because he was deemed unsellable and had been there too long. Funny, PetSmart shoppers don't seem interested in buying a $100+ gecko. He's looking a little skinny in that picture unfortunately. He doesn't eat much in the winter and has only recently started eating again. He had a nice fat tail back in the fall. We'll plump him up again.  ^-^

I was going to say, that's the skinniest tail I've seen! I don't know the morphs well, but its very muted. My son has a Zulu of some form.

Next up, Chinese cave gecko...

It's not a very becoming picture of him and I debated even "showing him off" in this state. But it happens every year. Goes off food in the winter, eats again in the summer and plumps up. Here's a better picture of him from last summer although you still can't see his tail well. As you can probably tell he also has a regrown tail, he lost his original when he was still at PetSmart.



I'm not really a morph guy. I generally prefer wild type animals or naturally occurring locales.

EDIT: A Chinese cave gecko would be a dream come true for me.
