waldo Aug 08, 2004 12:17 AM

I'm new to the world of leo morphs,is there a good web site with picture of all the color morphs in their adult and baby stages?I still can't figure out what my baby is,maybe a tangerine carrot tail,maybe a hypo tangerine,its all too confusing to me.I've been to a jillion web sites and I still don't know one morph from another.HELP!

This is one of the more comprehensive sites i've seen, but it doesn't include baby pictures. post here and we'll tell you what it is.

He/she is definitly abberant.

Carrot-tail is generally over 10% of the tail, so he's not likely this. Hypo is less than 10 spots on the main body, so it doesn't qualify for that either. Could be tangerine if the base color is as bright as the tail or really deep orange. A light yellow would just be high yellow (the yellow is hard to see in the pic).

I touched up one of my pictures,its still not bright enough but it is alot better.

It's still a little hard to tell from the pic if it's tangerine or not. Maybe this will help:

Super Hypo Tangerine Carrot-tail Baldy (notice how her color kind of blends into her tail):

And now compare this one (notice it's much more yellow and the color doesn't blend, this one is just a high-yellow) [sorry it's kind of small]:

Not the best examples but you get the idea.
