I'll post pics of both of them explaining what I'm talking about later this evening. Just wanted to put this up to remind myself to do so.

General Tso's head is basically a perfect triangle with a very nice collection of spikes starting.
Mushu's head is more swept back and she lacks a lot of the spikiness of General Tso.

I doubt if she's anything other than a common beardie, but is it possible that she has some Rankin's blood or something that would make her look SO much different? General Tso is also starting to outpace her growth and bulk by a fair bit. She does have a VERY bright red coloration to her that continually gets brighter with each shed, so I assume this comes from beardie color strains. Her back is a lot smoother than his, and the ridge at the back of his head is a lot more prominent than hers along with the spikes on the side of his head and neck. Also, the spikes developing along their sides are very different. Hers are there, but nowhere near as "spikey" or numerous as his.

As I said, I'll try and take some pictures that explain this later.

opinions? Could she be a cross or something? I got her at a LFS, but they are a mom and pop shop that get theirs from a local breeder. Apparently, the breeder's contact info to try and get genetics is some sort of secret 'cause they're not budging. (I think they don't want me going straight there to buy)

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
