Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Need Help Identifying Morph
I got this gecko at a reptile expo. I never had a gecko before and always wanted one then when I saw her at the show I couldn't resist myself. I was busy asking questions about their caring needs that I forgot to ask what morph she is. I paid $35 for her.. good, bad, decent price? I should say that these pictures of her were about a month ago. She shed now, her body is way yellow or brighter and the blue up by her eyes is more blue and dusted with black specks.

Eclipse
Looks like some sort of eclipse to me. Probably a hypo eclipse. The black eyes and tiny freckles on the tail indicate eclipse.
Really looks like it could use some meals...I'm sure you've corrected that by now though. I always cringe when I go to shows and see geckos that look like they haven't eaten in weeks.
Just make sure it has plenty of fresh water and good quality food available and it'll do fine.

Alright, cool.
Yeah I noticed she was kind of skinny too. I don't think it's normal to be able to see their spine like that. I've been trying to beef her up. I have a bowl of meal worms and I offer crickets every day but she doesn't always eat them. At night I've seen her scoping out her dish with the worms and sometimes they'll be fewer in the dish the next day but I haven't actually seen her eat them. I offer wax worms sometimes too and leave them in her dish over night. She's only ate one of those a long time ago. She poops though so she must be eating but she's just not getting nice and plump and healthy looking like the others I see for some reason

Hi Steph,
Beautiful eclipse you've got there. Looks like she's got 100% black in both eyes! A skinny tail could also indicate dehydration. You're not keeping her on sand, are you? Always offer a water bowl, a calcium dish, and I've used Reptibark or paper towels with great success.
If she's eating and pooping regularly, I wouldn't worry too much. She might be putting all her calories into growth right now. She's at an awkward juvenile stage, so it may take her a bit longer to get chunky than an older gecko.
$35 for an eclipse is a good price, especially with two completely black eyes! Too bad she's so skinny, but that'll change with some proper feeding and time. ;-)

Calcium sand is terrible stuff. Don't use it. If you want a natural looking substrate, use aspen shavings, Reptibark, or cocohusk. Papertowels or fake grass are fine too.

"Best" has a fairly subjective definition. I use paper towels in my racks, but they're hardly attractive. If you have a display cage, then you'll want something that is functional and pretty. I would probably use ReptiBark in that situation, since it's pretty, easy to clean, and harmless to your gecko. The chips are large enough that the gecko will not swallow them by accident. However, you may have to use a feeding dish so that crickets can't hide, and mealworms and roaches can't burrow and get away from your gecko.
