carrot head chart?

[boutiquegecko]

Is there a chart with the carrot/orange head like the nifty carrot tail one? I've seen variouse geckos as carrot head but all have different amounts of orange/baldness to them.

there is a carrot tail chart?

Gazz posted a chart here under "carrotting or not" it's pretty neat. Has the diff ratings of carrot tails, so I was wondering if there was one for the head as well.

I find carrot heads not worth reconizing as you only get them in albino form pretty much all APTOR/RAPTOR and APTOR/RAPTOR offspiring are what you would call carrot headed but no one ever reconizes or names them as such.All it is really it a tangerine strain albino type that is't a chocolate tangerine that's all.Look at the non chocolate and chocolate albino APTOR/RAPTOR's you'll see what i mean.

Chocolate type Raptor no carrothead.

Typical APTOR coloring we all know and love with with what is considered carrot heading so what the point thay have carrot head coz they are tangerine albino types.

I didn't say had to be RAPTOR line but they are what would be considered carrot heads.Very nice leo you have but the color of you leo head just goes with the color of the rest of it coz it's a tangerine type albino giveing it a nice bright orange head markings.I have a hybino with a lovely orange head color that would be considered carrot head.Sorry just what i think but ofcourse this does mean just coz i say so that it meen's it doesn't exsist it's just how i feel after all i'm not the great and powerful OZ :main_laugh: .I just find it a name not worth nameing as a super hypo baldy leo's has a better orange head color than that in both albino and NON albino forms.

There are nonalbino carrotheads. I lean towards the idea that carrothead albinos have underlying orange head patterning in the nonalbino form. If the albanism removes black patterning you're left with white/lavender/chocolate base color depending on the albino involved. If there's orange patterning expressed on the head or covered by black in the nonalbino form, then you have a carrot head. For argument's sake this would apply to adults because you get those changes from juvie to adult when the patterning is developing and just about anything can happen. Then again, I may be totally off. The first pic is a nonalbino Redstripe, the second is a Firewater in shed. As far as % of carrothead, good luck. That would make an intense tang baldy a 100% carrothead ??

Here's what I was wondering - would the baldy be a 100% carrothead ? And, the carrothead Firewater not in shed - notice that the Firewater even wonders as evidenced by the question mark on his nose...

I would think you definately do not need the albino form seeing that redstripe head. I was thinking maybe the intesnity of the orange not the coverage?
I would call any of those three pictured Dan as having carroting, even though it doesn't exactly follow the tail chart regarding the solidness of the carrot. So the redstripe could be what 90% carrot, the fw 100% and the baldy a 100% baldy carrot head instead of just baldy.
