 See through skin.

Okay so i just got a baby leopard gecko last week, shes a bell albino they say, i have her on a heat pad she has 3 hides, and a water dish i feed her about 5 crix a night, if she eats them all i give her more. there small. im starting to get worried though, along her spin is a more pale looking color, as well as on top of her head, almost like shes in a shed, but not as white and its been like that. I do have a moist hide, that she doesnt go in. You can see her organs through her belly, but i heard thats normal, and i just realized today, the first time ive picked her up since i go her that in her back feet you can see red veins, i dont no what this is and shes to small you cant see it in the picture, im worried.

No worries,

In fact, with a lot of Leo’s you can hold them up in the light, look at their bellies and see straight through their legs, see their organs and what not. Their skin is extremely thin which is why you see the veins. :-)

yea...thats totally normal... albinos probably have much thinner looking skin because of their lighter colored skin... so no need to worry...

what about the more white looking part on his spin and upper head? It looks like the very earliest stages of shed, but its been like that for like a week.


Thanks

i would but shes to tiny, you cant see it unless your close up. I dont have a awesome camera that shows good detail. Maybe its from not having a moist hide at the pet store, i dont know.

Could just be a spotch of color maybe? If it’s skin I’m sure she’ll shed it off soon. :-)
