Is he a Sunglow?? (pics)

[VeeDubLove]

I just picked him and a tank mate who I believe to be a murphy's patternless.

And yes, I know he has no toes... I'm pretty sure it was due to retained shed but the lady didnt even mention them. She said he has a hard time seeing... yeah, I'm just about 100% certain he is blind. Slow pupil contraction and he has a hard time know where he is/going. Doesnt notice crickets... I have to hold them right up to his mouth until hes licked it a few times and chomps down. He doesnt walk around too much. when he does he holds his tail curved to either side and his back legs kinda splay out like hes using his tail as a walking stick. Its strange.

His eyes are grey. His tail is orange and his body is yellow/orange. Pink feet.

Here's a picture of him with my SHTC female (shes non receptive right now) as comparision. He occasionally vibrates his tail near her, but she has to touch him for him to know where she is. He bit her tail when I first introduced them but she bit him right back and he cried and let go. Ever since then he will only vibrate. No more attempts. She wants nothing to do with him.

WOAHHHHH I just noticed this! Is this normal??? His pupils dilate independently depending on which side light is on!

I dont see any red vein on the eyes from the picture.
If you can see it, then it definitely a sunglow.
WOW for the carrot tail. its like 100%. No matter if he is a SHTCT or Sunglow, he will pass on great CT gene.

Sunglow? Arnt they supposed to have albino eyes? His looke pretty normal to me. Is it possible that hes just a SHTCTB a really nice one? Im so sorry to hear about his toes. At least hes in your care now. The loss of his claws will make climbing a little difficult i believe, so keep an eye on him. I would NOT have put him in the same container as the other leo though, be sure to keep him and the Murphys separate from everyone for a few months.

EDIT**** Cant rely on a tiny phone screen lol.. A VERY nice SHTCTB He appears to have a rather short tail too.. And agreed with lillith, you gotta watch for hets as well!

He's a rather nice SHCTB, although his tail is a little on the short side.
What size tank is that you have him in, it looks like a 5g? And yes, please separate them for quarantine. Or to prevent eggs, at least. He's trying to mate with her.

Not an albino, but if he's a CL pickup, you have no idea if he's got hets.
Does your other tangerine have hets?

Okay I should do some clarifying.

I got the two (male and female murphy's) in one 10gal together. The lady who had them before me housed them together (even though the poor little girl was only 8 months old!). She said she never saw them mate.
The tank was dirty! I mean the glass was smudged and just nasty. They were only on repti carpet and had a silver water bowl. Thats it. She gave me a clamp lamp (with no bulb) as well.
Obviously a ten gallon is ridiculously too small, and a 2yr old male should not be housed with such a young female.

Now that I disinfected the 10 gal, the male is housed in it on paper towels. He doesnt have any climbing options that offer a far fall if he missteps with those little "paws" of his. Surprisingly they do not stop him from trying with all his power to climb (which he eventually does). He has a rock, a little hide, a larger fake rock looking hide (he only uses for climbing - seems he doesnt like to be in hides), a water dish with a low water level, an UTH, and a low watt moonlight bulb from above.

I put the female in my SHCTB females 12x12x12 exo terra (I just sold her - she was a bit of a rescue as well - gorgeous too). It has slate tile flooring, an UTH, low watt moonlight bulb from above, water dish, rock hide, and climbing wood. I will move her to a 10gal soon.

And dont worry, I havent forgotten about the moist hides. I will get some cheap tupperware after work. Sounds like they've both had poor sheds. The female actually has a little stuck on her tail.

Do you guys think his toes are from birth? I've noticed his "toes" are much fatter than my females (if they were lopped off at the same length). Theyre the same age and relatively the same size, although he could stand to gain some weight.

So SHCTB?

Know whats funny - she thought he was a Sunset (I knew he wasnt since I think only one breeder has them at the moment? and he's not even close to the same coloration). I thought maybe sunglow since its close to sounding like sunset. She was told by some petstore breeder or something that he was a Sunset and he paid 1500 for him when he was a juvi. HAH
She also thought the female (a DARK murphy's) was a HIGH YELLOW. Hahahaha I never even looked at her before I went to pick the 2 up since she was only $10 more. I laughed inside when I saw her.

Murphy's patternless?

More of SHCTB

*scramble*

Heres his walking stick tail thing

Looks like MP to me. And BTW that is TOTALLY a Sunglow. Those eyes have albino written all over them.

 

[ZombiGecko]

Ok like my original thought, albino eyes lol

Haha cool, yeah I didnt notice the red tint to the veins until I snapped a few pictures. What kind of Sunglow?
