Better pic of the band on the neck sorry so blurry

Could you please type out all the words in your post? I'm very confused as to what you were asking because of all the abbreviations and such. We have members here from all across the world and sometimes it is hard to translate what looks a lot like english or american but doesn't make sense.

I think you are asking if your gecko is a jungle or a normal. Well, the old definition of jungle was any aberrant pattern... horizontal stripes usually fading to spots... any thing not regular horizontal stripes like balloon shapes, random dots of color, or irregular/ broken bands were all considered jungle. Your pictures show an interrupted band below the neck, so by the old definition, it would be a jungle.

I emphasize that this is the old definition of jungle, as I keep seeing jungle used in the strangest ways in the last year to identify what I would consider "normal" patterns. Maybe someone can dispute or confirm my "old timers" definition... but I would tell you in the meantime, that you can safely say it is a normal color phase jungle pattern, IMHO.

Since it's a PetCo purchase, it's not a 'true' jungle. I'll bet that it turns out a hypo (reduced spotting on the torso) with a little bit of carroting on the tail.

The white band is something that almost all hatchlings will have, and it will not stay solid for long. It will end up turning yellow, as the grey bands will, with black/dk brown spotting.

I was thinking the same thing. It's a little hard to tell from the picture. But from what I can tell, it appears to look like a Hypo.I've seen the abberant pattern in Hypo & Tangerine hatchlings, but eventually the pattern will fade into spots.
Personally, what I look for in a jungle along with abberant/striped pattern in the body is striping in the tail.
I've also found it hard to predict what a hatchling jungle will look like as an adult. As to weather or not the pattern will fade to spots, stay bold, or in some cases fade away completely altogether. That is just another reason why Jungles/Stripes are one of my favorites.
