Any ideas or opinions appreciated.

Thanks

looks too yellow to be a tangerine. and it has too many spots on its body to be a super hypo. It might pass for hypo though. id say its a high yellow variation..

Thanks, kinda what I was thinking too.
Was going to buy her, not sure now.

What's the approximate value

i dont think id pay more than 40-50 for that animal.. but the value essentially is whatever someone is willing to pay. to give u an idea, i bought a juvenille albino for 55 from a pet store and 3 shtct juveniles for between 65-80 each from a breeder. i got a high yellow hatchling for between 20-25 (cant remember) at a pet store.

I'd say thats a def hypo, not SH. Might have some tang in it, its hard to tell good color from the pic. I think I may see some aberrant markings too, but again, not the best pic. As for value, as a hobby breeder I'd sell that animal for 40-60 retail, or 20-40 wholesale.
