Is she a normal?

[Phoenix1115]

Hey there, I rescued this litter girl about two months ago. She's put on a little weight and is starting to change color. I thought she was just a cool looking normal but now her head is getting white and her yellow is fading, so I thought I may as well check. She does have a broken band on the last third of her tail. I know that's a jungle trait but I wasn't sure if it's seen in normals either. What do you guys think? (both taken without flash)

When I got her:

Looks like a higher-yellow-jungly leo to me. Nice candy shot

HIgh yellow.

Not a jungle as her tails have bands

High Yellows are basically just pretty normals right? Or is it like a hereditary trait?

Yes they are like normals.
A TRUE normal is more rare than a high yellow, most regulars are high yellows now a days.

That's interesting to know!

"High yellow" means basically a lot of yellow which would occur when there's little enough spotting so you really notice the yellow but not so little that you could call it a hypo. I think technically this gecko could be called a jungle because the end of the tail has broken bands. My understanding of jungle is that at least one of the bands (not all) must be broken in both the tail and the body.

Thanks. Yeah, I wasn't sure if it had to be all the bands are broken or just one or some of them. Now, is jungle technically a morph or just a trait?

Flipped her over, and non of the bands go all the way around, as you can kind of see in these pictures
