High yellow?

punker055 Feb 08, 2003 06:18 PM

Is there such thing as a hypo high yellow? I have shown pics to people of my high yellow that has little amounts of spots and they say it is a high yellow. But if hypo means reduced spotting then would she not be considered hypo high yellow?

Here is a pic of one of my High Yellows Males, he has too many spots to be considered Hypo.
"Trouble"

This is one of my female High Yellows, again too many spots to be Hypo but darn close
"Jellybean"

If yours has less than 10 spots on the body than it's Hypo. Spots on the head and tail don't count. At least that is my understanding.

Nice Geckos by the way. Guess mine isn't a hypo because she doesn't have less then 10 spots, more like 15 or 20.

A high yellow is a gecko with little spots. The standards for the leopard gecko have been greatly raised. A gecko with spots with a very nice yellow is no longer considered "high yellow". I believe a true high yellow is an animal with no more then 10 spots and very vivid coloration. A hypo would be consonsidered non-2 body spots, but spots on the head and a few on the neck. A super hypo is a gecko with no body spots, and very little head spots. And last there is the super hypo-baldy which has no spots except some on the tail.

Hi there,

Can you please take the time to report the buggy glitch you encountered over on the Feedback Forum. This way the techs will be made aware of the problem and hopefully be able to fix it to keep it from happening again.

Thanks.

Hi there,

I've removed the multiple posts that seemed to have crop up.

Can you please take the time to report the buggy glitch you encountered over on the Feedback Forum. This way the techs will be made aware of the problem and hopefully be able to fix it to keep it from happening again.
