Hate to admit, but I don't know what I have. Maybe you do!

Well when I got Eggo I went with 2 expectations 1) Male 2) Orange. I got both, but I guess it may be important to know what he is. I got him at a show back in September. They said sunglow? But I don't know. I am still learning.

Help. Oh and the orange has been moving down his tail with every shed.

He is nice and bright alright. Wish I could help more with the morph but I'm still learning that aspect of the leo world.

 

[Euphillia]

Yea I figure I might need to know in case I decide to uh...expand......

Not a sunglow because with the black markings, he's not an albino. I'd say he's heading towards superhypo tang carrot tail.

Just looks like a tang to me.

I've been reluctant to think carrot tail. I got him for 50 bucks and I see carrot tails that are quite a bit more than that. I didn't want to get too excited about that.

http://leopardgeckowiki.com <-- you can go there to help with your morphs if you like browsing morphs. Don't use it as a bible, as it's not 100% accurate but it's 'helpful'.

Looks like a shtct to me.

It's not a great carrot tail, but I think it qualifies (or it's going to when he gets a little older).

[gothra]

Yup, I think super hypo tang as well!

 

[roger]

super hypo tangerine ,Its borderline carrotail though,

 

[fuzzylogix]

its probably as close to a carrot tail as you can get, but yeah i would say SHTCT, the carroting will probably spread more as the gecko gets older

What constitutes a "good" carrot tail? There is twice the amount of orange now than when I brought him home in September.

 

[acpart]

Three things make it a "good" carrot tail:

--how much of the tail is orange
--lack of any black spots or fading black spots in the carrot tail area
--how vibrant orange it is

The reason I said earlier that it's not a "good" carrot tail (which doesn't make it a "bad" carrot tail) is that, while it does cover some of the tail, it's not a really vibrant orange (at least in the picture) and you can still see some fading black spots in the carrot tail area.

That makes sense. It will be interesting to see how far it moves and if the color gets better.
