Leopard Geckos Pattern Evolution

I am still fascinated by how much my baby leopard geckos colors and patterns have changed as they grow into adulthood.

Valor on 4-22-14 and agian on 6-15-14

Siren on 4-6-14 and again on 6-15-14

 

Photoshop and Lizards

 

A few photos manipulated in photoshop. Lizard art is next hot thing. Seriously. :)

 

Sock Monkey Blu

I made this sock monkey for a very sweet cousin of mine. The socks you use to create a sock monkey really determine your sock monkey's overall appearance. Everytime I look at a pair of socks I envision how they would look turned into a sock monkey!

 

 

The first photo is a comparision photo with the first day I got them on 4-7-14 and today 6-2-14. You can see how dramatically the patterns change. In Siren's case the body has almost completely lost the bands and quite a bit of darker ornage has emerged on the tail. With Valor you can see the black bands turning grey and the solid patch on her head breaking up into stripes and spots.

These guys have been so much fun to care for! I have found them to be a lovely pet in regards to temperment, ease of care, and how fun they are to watch. I can't wait to see how much they change as they grow into adulthood.

 

Gecko Monday

More leopard gecko photos. I really love these little guys and find them to be the best pets due to their docile nature and beautiful appearance.

 

Photos in May

Taking more photographs now then ever before. Staying relatively simple by using subject matter from my environment such as my pet leopard geckos and the animals, plants, and flowers where I work. It has proven to be rather addictive. :)

Leopard Geckos Growing Up

Siren and Valor have grown quite a bit in the last couple of weeks. Siren's dark brown bands are fading and is starting to show some spots on her tail. Valor is slightly smaller and has not shown any dramtic changes except for the aapearence of a few black spots here and there. Both are shedding and eating well. I have really come to adore these little guys!
