I was at petco today getting crickets and I noticed a baby leopard gecko which was aberrant patterned with intense tangerine color. I know petco usually doesn't carry high class geckos so is this just a brightly colored hatchling which will fade or could it actually be a tangerine? Do tangerine hatchlings usually have such bright colors?

It is a possibility. I purchased my tang from petco for 30 bucks just over a year ago. As for intensity of color, she's not as orange as she looked when she was a baby, nonetheless still a tang and healthy as ever!

Questions? Drop me a line

they are different colored but even baby normals are real yellow and tangerrines are real colorfull 2 but more orage but not totaly orange. it would help if u could get a pic of 1 that looked like 1. i got a patternless leopard at petco so sometimes they do get nice 1's in and if u kno the right people u can get thrm to hold them for u!

i got a hypo tang at petco...i figured it was just an orange-colored baby but one year later shes as orange and spotless as ever

Do you (or anybody else) have a pic you could share? I will try and find a pic of what it looks like.

I was @ petco the other day and they had about 20 or more babies in the same enclosure with a juvenile tangerine. First off, there were wayyy to many babies in there, and the enclosure sucked. The tangerine juvi was really nice looking though, and it was still priced as a baby for $29.99....I thought about it, but I really have no room right now.

i just got a normal from petco that has a white stripe right down the center of his back to base of tail...pretty neat looking

The one at petco looks a lot like this, maybe even MORE intense.

I don't know someone might call that a tang but I think it's just a high yellow.

Can you show me a pic of a tang hatchling?

Check out my new website: DreamGecko.com

and they (Bill Brant) is responsible for lots of tangerines and hypo tangerines we have today. They apparently produce quite a few each year, but have taken down their reptile website (tgrreptiles.com). Lots of the top breeders got their tangerines from TGR years ago. It's not surprising some of the nice ones will get sent to Petco if he's producing that many.

Just my guess.
