I think the going rate is 10% orange for the minimum. There should also be a solid band of orange at the base of the tail before calling it a CT. Many normal geckos will show nice orange on their tails, but are not considered carrottailed.

that it was 30% awhile ago, but some CT on albeys site have 10%, so its probably 10%. It has to be solid too, because most leos have orange on their tails, CT or not.
