Here is Leopolda. She is about 6 or 7 months old. I got her at Petco and she has been wonderful.

another pic

Check out that fat tail

Isn't she cute??

What morph is she, and how much bigger will she get? Thanks guys.

She's a cutie! Kinda reminds me of my PetCo gal.

To me, she looks like a very nice reduced spotting possibly even high yellow.

She is very pretty, and I'd say she is a high yellow reduced spotting, almost a hypo. Shes pretty much fully grown by the look of the pics, might get a bit bigger. Is she gravid? She kinda looks like it as she has the pinkish look on her belly but i could be wrong.

I don't think she is gravid. She's never been around any other leos since I got her. Can they be gravid without being with a male leo? Her eggs would definately now be fertile if she had any.

If she hasn't been around any other leo's, then the eggs cannot be fertile. But yes, leo's can be gravid without laying, but the eggs will not develop. Just like chicken eggs that we cook with.

Hold on... misspelling.

Yes she can be gravid but the eggs will not be fertile is what I meant to say.

She looks tang to me.... most the carrot tails people post are called "tangs" and they are the same color as this girl...so i guess they must be high yellows as well....IMO she is a tang, maybe not as bright as some tangs but deffinatly not a high yellow....

She's a reduced spotting high yellow. 3 years ago she'd probably be hypo.

Also...I'm kinda juding her based on my very similar female. She's actually a yellow-brown, but cameras make her look more tang then brown.

And my carrot tail is brighter colored than that, but no where near tang. She's just a high yellow super hypo to me.
Then again... the leo on the left here was sold to me as a $25 tang...she has a lot more orange than the $225 carrot tail on the right, lol. That carrot tail also faded a good deal from when that pic was taken. This was as close to true color as I could get the image. (Slight contrast and brightness change)

Perception always varies from person to person tho. So my opinion is High yellow with reduced spotting. She could be a tang...but I don't know how her true colors look.

i dont consider carrot-tails like yours tangerine either. it's not orange on the body, it's a bright beautiful yellow. i personally like the bright yellow carrot-tails more then an orangy carrot-tail. there are so many labels to sell more, but to me, if its a beautiful animal, its a beautiful animal, no need for it to be called tangerine if it isnt. by the way, that is one of the most beautiful carrot-tails ive ever seen!

your head will collapse, but there's nothing in it, and you'll ask yourself, "where is my mind"

Like I said tho...she lightened up a lot since her juvie colors.
She's still a really nice high yellow. Still has that nice lemon color. The darker bands turned to the lemon, but now with pale orange where her bright orange CT was. I need to get some updated pics of her ^_^
They're both from Garrick at CrestedGecko.com some of his girls from last year.

It looks to me like a high-yellow. I say this because she doesnt look to have any tang influence or any tang colors, just a vibrant yellow.
