Bell albino Mack snow leopard gecko

Eblepharis macularius

Description:

The gecko's eyes are tan in color with red marbled markings. The belly is completely white with no markings. She has several very small spots and line patterns that are dark brown to black in color.

Habitat:

Desert

Notes:

This is my female leopard gecko named Nip, she is approximately 2 years old and weighs 43.2 grams. She is only 6 1/2 inches long because of her Crooked tail. Her tail is crooked because a male gecko nipped her tail (wile attempting to mate) causing the skin to break and regrow in a zig-zag fashion. ( gecko tails can break off and regrow just like several other types of lizards- this is a defense mechanism and does not hurt the lizard though because this is also were they store their fat if your pet loses its tail one way or another, it's weight should be monitored until the tail fully regrows just in case. ) sometimes gecko tails have been known to break off partially causing an entire new tail to grow along with the old tale that remains causing a two-tailed effect, as well as with Nips and breaks the tail can regrow back in a different way than natural causing bumps or abnormalities.
