WHAT MORPH?

leo_lover07 May 04, 2008 08:36 AM

I recently bought this baby as a normal. I bought it for its unique orange coloration and its gray bands. But ive had it for about 3 weeks and the colors seem to be changing. I know that the bands are lost as they grow but the colors are crazy. The dark grey bands have turned a vivid purple and the black stripes on the tail have turned grey. Any black on the face is now purple or light brown. Its starting to look like a darker tangerine albino. What do you guys think???

I believe what you have there is a SHTB. you will have to give it time to grow and change color you will have a better idea what she will be at about 4-5 months. That is what mine looked like when i bought it. now she is beautiful. I breed her to a tremper albino and her babies look alot like that and lighten up as they age.These are pics of her, my albino and 2 of their babies from last year.
