So i was at petco today buying mealie worms like i usually do ..
but i happend to look at the normal leopard geckos they had for 25 dollar's
anyways i picked one up she seemed healthy .. has a small tail ( could be bigger ) ill fix that lol
no sheds that i could see and shes pretty and i though i would take her home ,
so heres pictures i belive its female to early to tell about 3-4 weeks old i think

please help me with idenifying her ? i can come to the conculsion shes's a ? jungle ? carrot tail or tangerine of some sort .

That is a super hypo stripe. Some may call it aberrant, since there is no stripe on the tail. Good find from petco. Hope she is healthy. A fecal may be a good idea, its a must for me for all pet store buys. And of course quarantine!

Thank's
shes eatting great9 mealie worms tonight ..
ill get a stool as soon as she goes and send it to make sure .. thanks for the info

all i find is doral stripe ? is that the same thing ?
i cant even find a price for them .. ? any idea of what she is worth ? just wondering

becuase there was a few more like her

thanks again

The darker orange may fade as the animal ages. It might turn out to be just a super hypo, IMO. It has a nice CT starting as well, this may come down the tail a bit more in the future. Nice find.
Congrats!!!

they are all quarntined ...
i bought them all from the same store in the same cage there for i dont really see whats wrong ?? if one would be sick they would all be sickk ? aint i right
there all from the same place too
im going to get stools from them and send it in.... when i was at petco dont get me wrong but all poop looked healthy i checked toes head eye tail ... everything they seem super healthy .. anyway ..

heres my other two leos i bought . any ideas of idenity ? i think the other orange one is related some how to the first one i bought .

here are the three of them

Well, in an ideal world, each would be qauarantined individually. There is always a possibility that they came from two different places, or one was sick on arriving to petco, whereas the other two were not, and you dont really have any idea how long they were housed toghether there. Given the circumstances, though, and assuming you don't have the space to do each indiv, its a pretty good arrangment. I have gotten perfectly healthy leos from petco myself, but so far the odds have been about 50/50. The other two are another super hypo and the third looks normal, though some might call it pastel, or lavender. So9me may even call it hypo, but I'd call them wrong. It will be interesting to see how that one matures.

my first gecko i got from petco and shes perfectly healthy,
i have them in seprate 10 gallon tank's now
i just had to re arange thing's
sence they are my 14th 15th and 16th gecko ,
im really trying to rearange things in my home so i can get a few racks to house them all ..
hehe
thanks for your input ,
also the super hypo is that you mean a super hypo carrot tail ? or just a super hypo ? im still learning the gentics part

super hypo and carrot tail tend to go to together, but not neccesarily. Both are line bred traits, and I have super hypos with no carrot tail, some, or very little, and have seen some with close to 80-90% carrot tail. (Don't own one, though I'd love too!) I don't call them carrot tails if it's just a ring of orange around the base of the tail. If you're goind to call it one, the orange should at least go down to the second or third bumpy ring on the tail.
