Bring home a versatile powerhouse of genetics and beauty with the Tangerine het Eclipse 66% het Bell Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis macularius). Visually, this gecko showcases the attractive, warm apricot and tangerine tones that make tangerine lines a fan favorite, complemented by movable eyelids, a robust terrestrial build, and the famously calm, docile demeanor of the species. Genetically, it carries an incredible pedigree: 100% het for Eclipse (responsible for solid black “snake” eyes and solid-eyed variations) and 66% probable het for Bell Albino (the stunning recessive strain that produces soft pinkish-brown eyes and lavender-and-brown patterning). Whether you are looking to build a high-end breeding project or simply want a gorgeous, hardy pet with elite lineage, this gecko delivers.

Key Features & Care Requirements

Vibrant Tangerine Coloration: Displays attractive warm orange, peach, and yellow skin tones that provide a bright, eye-catching aesthetic.
Elite Recessive Genetics: Carries 100% het Eclipse and 66% het Bell Albino status, offering massive potential for producing visual morphs in future pairings.
Legendary Docile Temperament: Inherits the famously calm, gentle, and slow-paced personality that makes leopard geckos exceptionally safe, friendly, and rewarding to handle.
Spacious Terrestrial Enclosure: Requires a wide, horizontal terrarium (minimum 20 to 40 gallons for an adult) equipped with multiple secure hiding spots on both the warm and cool sides, plus a moist hide box to assist with shedding.
Precision Floor Heat Gradient: Thrives with a proper thermal gradient, ranging from an ambient cool side of 75°F up to a warm basking floor temperature of 88°F to 92°F, safely maintained via a regulated under-tank heating mat or overhead deep heat projector.
Strictly Insectivorous Diet: An insect-eating diet consisting of live, gut-loaded crickets, dubia roaches, and mealworms, dusted regularly with calcium, minerals, and vitamin D3 supplements.

Important Note: Leopard geckos store energy and fat reserves in their tails, which should always remain plump and healthy. With proper care and gentle, daily interaction, they easily live 15 to 20 years as remarkably friendly and engaging companions.
