Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hi everybody I've been reading this board for a long time now...I just recently acquired a baby leopard gecko. I was down in Miami with my boyfriend to look at a greed tree python and this poor little guy was kept in a small cage that was filthy and full of feces, not only did it smell horrible but he had no water. I had to take him home. I've been reading up leo's, but its been a while. I just want to know what color he is considered. Thanks

Jen

"dont become classified. if you are nothing, then you can be anything."

Hypo doesn't necessarily mean they won't have any spots. That would be a "Super Hypo". Hypo is short for hypomelanistic, "hypo" means less than and "melanistic" means black. So anything with less-than-normal black pigmentation could be considered "hypo".

I would also consider it a hypo tangerine. The real dark spots on its' back probably won't go away completely, but may fade a little. Time will tell.
