The top one falls into the SHT category IMO, and the second is a "regular" SH. Not quite CT`s technically, but they may have a little bit of CT in them. Hence the term "carroting" (for the non-solid orange on their tails.)

What all of that means can be summed up by the acronym SHTCTB, and a little explanation. It stands for Super Hypo Tangerine CarrotTail Baldy. There are varying degrees of each of those traits, and some gex can have some of those traits without having the others. Like a SHT or SHCT. Baldies have no spots on the head, Superhypos have no spots(or very few) spots on the body. Tangerine is a body color, and aside from being somewhat self-explanatory(lol), it was allready mentioned what a CT is. I hope this helps you, since you are kind of new to Leos.:main_thumbsup:

Looking good aside from the bad shed. If you do not have a humid hide, it is probably needed for that one. Or at least, a good misting from time to time, especially when "she"(just a guess) is about to shed. When they get too dry, their sheds tend to crack like that and not come off whole.

Enjoy!

thank you.

I do have a humid hide for her and believe it or not right after I took these pictures I caught her in there eating her shed..so she has shed out completely now.

im kind of confused on which side to place the humid hide though? Do I place it on the hot side where the UTH is or do I place it on the cool side, or does it not matter?

Thank you everyone for your replies.

Nice leos.
Different people have different opinions on which side the humid hide goes on.
In fact, there is a poll floating around on here somewhere just about which side the moist hide goes on. I would find that and read what everyone says just to get a good review of everyones opinions, and then you can decide for yourself =] Here is the link to that thread
