Second opinion(s) on morph description

lbonachea Dec 11, 2003 10:09 AM

I picked up this little girl as a juvie a few months ago. Her colors have come in nicely! I'd like to see what people think a fitting description is and an estimate of worth. I'm still really new to these hypo-type morphs. Thanks for taking the time!

From my novice experience, I'd have to say that would be a super hypo tangerine.

Looks to be a hypo (few spots) tangerine(orange, not yellow) slight carrot tail (orange on the tail) baldy(no head spots) a super hypo would have no back spots- yours may fade...

Thanks, that's what I thought too. I expect those spots on her back to disappear completely based on how much they've lightened over then last few months.

. . . just kidding. It's worth a lot more in my opinion. That is one very nice leopard Gecko. I have NO problem calling that a Super-Hypo Baldy Carrottail. It has a nice intense tangerine to it - very attractive.

The thing that sets her apart from other SHCT is her body color. That, in my opinion, makes it a very valuable leopard geckos.

Thanks for all the great responses. I don't have an earlier picture, sorry. I got her from a friend for $70. A good steal I almost feel bad for, but I really had no idea what she was worth.

Anyway, I'll be breeding her to my big male (patternless from hypo-tang lines. he's the only patternless I've seen with orange still peeking through on the tail). I'll post baby pics for sure!

Thanks again all!
