Got this little gal ( I think) and it was rusty red/ brown Very dark . Her tail was SO dark red..

It started getting lighter and two weeks after a shed, it's really bright with hints of green.. My best guess is a Tangerine hypo?

It's such a blast watching these guys change as they grow!

The spots on the body are not black any more but purple, if they stay will it be a super hypo? or does it matter the color of the spots? Any chance the spots on the head will go away? They are still a black like color.

The spots on her head will probably stay based on my experience, but if the spots on her back fade into solid orange you could call her a SHTCT (Super hypo tangerine carrot tail) :)

OK I was just wondering if the spots where not black if is mattered as it says Black spots on Wiki but I guess any spots would count, Yeah I'm going to guess the spots will stay on the head, bummer.

Thanks!

Most of the spots on mine that start turning purple disappear in time. Some stick around until they're a year or two old so you may not know 100% if they'll go away soon but my guess would be they probably will. If they are there, purple or not she's technically not a super hypo.
