No problem, anytime

What a great looking leo! He looks like he's got a ton of personality (if leos have personality, LOL)

He's definitely a hypo tangerine. He's almost super-hypo and some people would argue he is. This is because he's got such minimal spotting on his body and reduced spotting on his head. A leo with no spotting on the head is called a "baldy". He is not, but it looks like he's quite close. He also has a nice amount of orange on the base of his tail. If it was solid orange without the broken spotting, he would be a Carrot-tail too, by most accounts.

So many labels, huh? He's definitely a Hypo Tang. Some will say he's arguably a super-hypo, (he's extremely close, it looks like), and he's got some nice carrot tail in his genes. A very nice looking gecko that looks like he's got some great genetics!
