Eclipse or Hypo? You be the judge!!!!

Tell me guys what you think? She's 56g and by far the largest leo I have, I had to seperate her cause she would go after my 20g SHTCT. But she's great to handle and is real calm. Her eyes are normally solid black but as you see from the pics they have that crazy "Lord of the Rings" crazy large eye look. And what would be some good projects that I could try with her? She seems to have a lil lav banding, its very light and small amount of carrot-tail

she looks like a normal hypo to me. maybe i am not seeing it but i see no eclipse eyes.

I'd say no eclipse, too. I don't see the white nose at all.

+1 not an eclipse
also just some advice dont house leos together that have a big weight difference

Doesn't look Eclipse to me, there's no sign of it in the eyes, no white nose, and she doesn't have the fine speckling on her tail that Eclipses usually have.

So hypo it is

I don't see solid black eyes. Must be my monitor.

It's a hypo. You're seeing black eyes normally because you're normally looking at the gecko in low light. In the picture, you're right by the window, so the pupil is constricted, whereas it's normally dialated when you're looking at it, giving the "eclipse" appearance.

As far as projects go, you could go for another hypo, or something recessive, such as raptor or tremper albino, to make normals het for whatever recessive gene you choose.

Or you could go for mack snow and make more mack snows...

I like both ideas, I've seen a lot of nice macks and starting with normal hets might give me a few surprises, and no your moniter is fine lol
