Brighten up your terrarium with a Tangerine Tail Assorted Morph Leopard Gecko, one of the most popular and visually striking lines in the reptile hobby. Selectively bred to showcase brilliant citrus orange coloration along the base and length of the tail, these geckos combine vivid sunset tones with a diverse array of body patterns—making every individual a breathtaking, high-contrast spectacle!

Key Features

• Vivid Tangerine Tail Accents: Features bright orange, apricot, or deep mandarin hues covering a significant portion of the tail, intensifying in saturation and contrast as the gecko matures.

• Assorted Morph Combinations: May incorporate various genetic variations like Super Hypo, Carrot Tail, Baldy, Mack Snow, or Tremper Albino, offering a unique mix of body spots, bands, or patternless backs paired with glowing citrus tails.

• Gentle & Beginner-Friendly: Famous for their docile, sweet-tempered nature and manageable speed. They tolerate routine handling exceptionally well, making them ideal companions for keepers of all experience levels.

• Charming Expression & Fat Tail: Displays movable eyelids, a pleasant "smiling" facial profile, and a plump, healthy tail that acts as a natural storage reserve for nutrients and hydration.

• Compact Adult Size: Grows to a manageable adult length of 7 to 10 inches (including tail), making them perfect for space-efficient, desktop, or apartment-friendly enclosures.

• Strictly Insectivorous Diet: Feeding is simple and interactive—thrives on gut-loaded live feeder insects like dubia roaches, crickets, and mealworms dusted with essential calcium and vitamin supplements.

Essential Care & Enclosure Needs

To keep your Tangerine Tail Leopard Gecko vibrant, active, and healthy, provide a properly outfitted terrestrial habitat:

• Terrarium Size: A single adult requires a minimum enclosure size of 20 gallons long (24x18x12 inches), though a 36x18x18 inch (40-gallon) habitat offers enhanced space for enrichment and thermal gradients.

• Basking & Thermal Gradient: Provide a warm-side belly-heat basking zone of 88°F–92°F (31°C–33°C) using a deep heat projector, halogen bulb, or under-tank heating pad regulated by a thermostat, alongside a cool end around 72°F–78°F (22°C–25°C).

• Essential Three-Hide System: Equip the habitat with three dedicated shelters: a Warm Hide over the heat source, a Cool Hide on the opposite end, and a Moist Hide lined with damp sphagnum moss or paper towels to ensure effortless, clean sheds.

• Low Ambient Humidity: Maintain low room humidity between 30% and 40%, keeping moisture localized inside the moist hide.

• Supplemental Low-Output UVB: A linear 2.4% to 6% Ferguson Zone 1 UVB light tube helps promote natural metabolic function, vitality, and strong bone composition.
