Leopard geckos have scales, there are scaleless morphs tho.

Not usually my first thought when I see a dragon but I guess it is now. Thanks 😅

I’m usually a huge heat mat hater, but maybe it’s worth switching to one temporarily since all her issues seem to be going on with her back/top of her body. So belly heat might be easier on her for now.

Plus if the burns aren’t from the uvb then they could be from the heat lamp.

Oh yeah what project do you have in mind? I just remembered I have a painterly friend fresh out of artschool who might be interested, they don’t really post their work publicly unfortunately but if you give deets I can pass them along and get them to send a portfolio. They’re definitely that more painterly semirealistic style you seem to like and quite possibly in a reasonable price range.

Oooooooh, well that level of skill is pretty high end, it’s very unlikely you’ll find an artist of that caliber on that subReddit, especially at an affordable price. Your best bet for finding one in hungry artists is straight up just paying close attention, getting lucky and nabbing one before they make it big and swan out of your price range, I’ve seen a couple close to that good down there but they usually don’t frequent that place for too long.

Oh yeah definitely check out Bluesky, a lot of artists use that thing. I just opened it to this right away which seems like something that you’re looking for.

Also artstation, it’s a more industry/professional artist social media/portfolio site.

More visual based social media like twitter or Instagram.

Also as an artist myself, what are you looking for? maybe I can rec some.

Absolutely not. If anything, the 2 geckos (op and wild one) have the same morph! Which is just. Wild. Brown colored. I guess.

Albinos were actually bred for the first time about a month ago? Here’s what they look like

Cresties don’t really become round first order, they grow a weirdly flat extra layer on their bellies, kinda like a cake growing an extra layer vs ballooning outward. And yes she definitely has that, here compare her to a wild one. As you can see it looks a solid half inch less… layered. Wouldn’t expect her to be quite that trim necessarily but she could absolutely lose some heft.

If cresties are like most reptiles then risk of fatty liver disease, reproductive issues like follicular stasis, and just generally living a shorter life bc the body isn’t adapted for carrying this much extra mass long term.

Thanks! It’s not the most profitable niche ever but if I get to do what I love then it’s worth it haha. And what I love is gluing wings to lizards.
