What is this? (pic)***

LatinaBarbieDoll Aug 09, 2004 10:24 PM

It seems that with every shed she keeps getting more and more orange. Someone told me that she may be a hypo tang and possibly super hypo tang. I though she might be a tangerine abberant.
Anyone have any idea what she is, and how she may look as an adult. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Currently I would say she is a tangerine abberant. If the black spots fade to less then 10 total on the body she will be a hypo. Either way she's a great color!!

OK looking over the pics I have determined that I do not win I like the abberant better (I think it's just a much cooler looking pattern).

Thanks Brian, I think mine is more bright orange and your's looks very very bright yellow... Yours is a beauty!

I agree that for now she is a tangerine abberant... I'll post some pics in about a month so that we can see how much she has changed.

You're right, that is a crappy pic lol, but i can tell that there is so much more color in that leo than it shows in that pic! I can see that the orange on his/her tail is almost red just like mine!

Mine hates being handled, and when she is in shed, whenever I put my hand in there to change the water she hisses at me and tries to bite me, she's the feistiest nastiest little gecko but I still think she is just a tad cuter than yours lol

Seriously though, thank you for posting the pic

Thanks Bloodyalbino, her color is insane, and on her tail she has some orange that is sooooo bright it almost looks red.

It will be interesting to see how she develops.
