i picked this one up and wondering the approximate age.


also wondering the morph. the pic makes her? look darker its really orange when fired up.

thanks

If it goes orange, than I agree, orange dalmation.  If not then it looks like a buckskin dalmation.  As far as age, it is a little longer than two egg cups STV, which makes it about 3" STV.  I would guess 2 to 3mos., closer to 2mos. if it was feeding well.

It's hard to tell the age.  Some could feed more and have them bigger faster, and some will feed slower and grow slower.  I have one that's 2 months old and only an inch long stv,  I've been starting them off on cgd from their first feeding (after their first shed) and only offer crickets once a month so they may grow a little slower than someone that feeds crickets every week.

Your post makes more sense than mine.  I meant STV, but gave the age based on Snout to tail length of about 3" at 3mos.  That gecko is probably closer to 5 or 6mos. Sorry for any confustion.

I agree, 5-6 months would be a good guess, but asking the breeder is always best.  Most breeders will keep records of the hatch date.

Awwww, it's a cutie, lol. I've found that it's sometimes hard to guess on the age if the breeder doesn't have the hatch date since depending upon what they're fed they'll grow at different rates.
