Leopard gecko or AFrican fat tailed gecko?
Hello,
I just got this guy today after keeping corn snakes for 2 years. I figured a reptile with 4 legs would be a nice addition. They marked him as a Leo but I cant give an AFT the proper temp requirements. I need to make sure he's a leo. What do you say?

Definitely a leo, and considerably younger than 2 months too (probably around half that).
Just out of interest - if you can't provide an AFT with the temperatures it requires, how can you do so for a leo?

From the Info I was given AFT's cant handle the lower temps that Leos can. I also heard that AFTs need a warmer hot side. I've only taken the time to read books on Leos not AFTs. I wouldn't be surprised if I was wrong about them.

id say about 2months, ive got a 10 week old and they are an absolute spit bodyshape wise, obviously thats presuming fed well and brought up in optimal condions which i know mine was, and ive got a 4month old thats starting to round out her tail if you no what i mean, as i said im new to them and going of research more than experience, also id say leos can take the colder temps but can understand afts coping higher temps

fat tails require more humidity but the temperatures are the same. it's a lovely leo you've got there
