Hey all,
I recently picked up this Leopard gecko from a lady because it was her late husband's (she didn't really know how to take care of it)
Now I am curious about the morph (the ad said Hypo Tangerine) It is definitely not as bright orange as some of the normal tangerines i have had in the past, and the stripe on the tail has me wondering if something else might be at play here.
I haven't seen a stripe like that on any of the leos I have had (maybe I am just exaggerating things in my head)
anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated
btw, its about 6 months old
thanx
Mikey T

It can't be a hypo it has plenty of black pigment

definitely NOT a tangerine to yellow. High yellow albino?

It's a normal aberrant.

And it is DEFINITELY not an albino. Albinos don't have any blacks on them whatsoever. Leopard Gecko Wiki (http://www.leopardgeckowiki.com)

no he is for sure tang... the color is washed out a little in the pics, he also has a bright orange band on his tail, (Hard to see in the pic).
i'm still most curious about the stripe

Take a picture without the flash so we can see his color. The pattern (stripe on the tail) is what's called an aberrant.
