    Thanks wilsonthegecko.
    I'm feeding her gutloaded mealworms. It's imperative that you gutload your mealworms/crickets/or whatever feeder you decide to give your leo with nutritious feed. I buy my gutload from www.progeckos.com
    If your feeders are not properly gutloaded then your leo will not grow as fast or as strong as he/she is supposed to.
    I would also recommend a fecal exam for your leo to make sure it doesn't have any parasites. Parasites can cause the gecko to be really thin and not grow properly.

    Thanks wilson & shinerai :)

    Wilson:Thats good news your leo is settling in and eating great, that rules out parasites, a good sign indeed. She'll be fattened up in no time!

    Here's some more sleeping pics. She's such a doll. I know I post a lot of pics, but I can't help it!

    Looking good, looking good. If Laka's still only 2 months I'm going to hold out and say she might end up as as super hypo. I guess I'll have to wait and see. I really like the smiley face on her butt. :(

    Thanks again Wilson...and Fiche, I'm willin' to bet a few grand on her turning out to be super hypo, I definitely wouldn't bet on her becoming a carrot tail, the chances of that happening look pretty slim, but ya never know!
    Time will tell.

    I posted a video of Laka shedding in a seperate thread, I might as well post it here again as well. I figured Undone, The Sweater Song by Weezer was absolutely necessary for this video. :(

    And...some still pics of her after the shed.

    you never know you know that coud be a carrot tail. for it to be a carot tail it needs 15%+ of orrange on its tail. that has about 9 so we can only waight. yeh most probs a supper hypo lovely colours btw.
    just compare that pic to the first pic and how small it was. its increadable. good luck

    I love the random white bloches on her body. My leo(unnamed) has the same thing! They actually look really cool.

    Well it's been a few weeks, and I know that RR has been having some down time these past couple of days, so I think Laka is due for some pics.

    She's now almost 3 months old and 42 grams. She was chilling around my neck like this for about 2 hours last night, she's extremely docile. Although her colors aren't turning out to be the brightest, I love her just the same. ;)

    A shame that you're snowed in for now but I do enjoy seeing more pictures of Laka. :( She's cute and should grow up to be big and strong with all that calcium she eats. I'm glad to see that she's so docile too. I've heard of quite a few leos that never really take to people.

    i'm with fiche on this one - you being snowed in is nowt but good news for us :( laka is a great looking little gecko and this thread is a great example of how quickly they can grow big with the right care.... as for eating her calcium, it certainly seem to be working!
