Just curious. I think he's a high yellow, but I wanted to get the expert opinion. He's got some orange that kind of hangs out over the yellow, but for the most part he just blazes yellow in the sunlight.

Anyway, this is the closest I could get to his actual colors:

I say he is a High Yellow, but I don't know if the orange adds that he is tang or something... I have always been confused by that... I have a female that looks very similar to your, but I don't think she has as much orange in her tail as yours does...

Looks like a High yellow to me. As far as tang, to the best of my understanding, it's not tang until it's all orange, but yours could very well be on it's way to becoming one. It is also a reduced pattern, not hypo, but reduced. He actually looks a lot like my girl Jak. you can see an orange circle starting to appear on her back and around all of her black spots she has orange highlight, and more orange spots are starting to appear, I hope she turns all orange =)

Petco Leo? I have a petco leo that looks EXACTLY like your little girl, except he's bigger and has a regenerated tail tip.

No, I actually got him at a small local petstore. The guy there told me that it was from a local breeder who had sold the leos to them. I really don't know anything other than that, but they're a very respectable pet store that takes good care of their herps.

The Petco here is pretty crappy...they sell their leos for 50% off when then get sick...and they're always sick.
