High yellow. If i unterstand it correct a hypo has only points between the panted pattern. And this one has points all over the body.

remember hypo melanism is the reduction of dark pigmentation, his gecko is hypo. compare his gecko to a wild type geckos and you will see the lack of melanin his has, thus it being a hypo . maybe not a super hypo but still a hypo

You know they need to have a world wide definition that seperates hypos and high yellows. Cause some say hypo others say high yellow.

Robins right compared to wild leos and normals, ones like mine are technically hypo. But if you really want to get technical the Abyssinians are really the only true hypomelanistic I can think of cause a true hypoM is gonna be able to have any color on it but black, cause being a hypo the body can't make black pigment. But yet they have normal colored eyes.

The hypos and super hypo leos when have are really not a true hypo cause they are still able to produce black pigmant.
