Is it normal for my leopard gecko to have white toes, pale tongue, or yellow urates?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

is it normal for a leopard gecko to have white toes? and no it's not because of her shedding, she's had white toes for months and I am wondering if she is sick or if it's normal for a gecko to have white toes. edit: she has a few toes that are yellow and spotted while others are just pure white. also her tongue is pale white too with maybe a little pinkish red tint to it yet she's a active girl. also when I feed her vitamins she always gets yellow urates, so should I hold back vitamins?

They can have white toes. If she is a lighter or "hypo" morph, the toes may be very white. This would explain the light colored tongue as well. The vitamins can color the urates. This is normal and no cause for concern if she is bright, alert and active. If she is a juvenile, continue to supplement with a multivitamin and calcium/D3 daily. An adult can be supplemented every other day.
