are the urban geckos as bright orange in person as they look in the pics?

They have some really nice looking geckos but if IM going to be paying that much money for a gecko it should be really orange. So I just wanted to know from all you people who have bought from the urban gecko how do you rate the color of your gecko IM looking into buying the 5 star stock. thanks for the info.

I have a 5-star male SHCT from Urban Gecko and yes, they are really that bright.

They are outsanding animals. I do not know if they are as glowing as the pics, but they are definately orange.

I'm not sure how he takes his pics, but mine are taken indoors with normal room light and a camera flash.

I just wanted to say that if urban gecko takes pictures under flourescent lighting or outside the coloration may appear brighter as a normal incandescent bulb only shows 56% of the color spectrum. So the geckos may really be that bright but you can't see all of the colors.
