need help- are they hypos?

[strigoii]

Yesterday my first babies of the year (this seson) finally hatched

The mother on the photo - Hypomelanistic female Melania -

The father on the photo - Normal het Tremper male - Elfius -

Are the babies look like hypos, or like normal?

doesn't hypo mean they have less than like 11 spots?

I have hatched alot of hatchlings this year that started out like yours and as they grew and shed they developed spots. It is to early to tell if it is a hypo or not. I will attach a couple pics of when hatched and how they turned out. Top Pic just hatched Bottom pic 8 months later same leopard gecko.

okey - I understand - so it's too early

Hi-Yellow Lavender. That tail is all Lavender and not caused by low or high temp spikes during incubation. She hatched at 80 degrees. I have other pics but I can't find some of the hatchling pics and some adult pics.

Crash that is a super looking hi-yellow! That's the baby that hooked me years ago and still one of my favorite morphs! Call me old and set in my ways!

Thanks lamarr. There is nothing wrong with liking one of the first morphs thats be around along time. Not many people breed them anymore.

the top baby looks hypo to me. see how the banding is more reddish brown than the other's, which appears more black?

awesome geckos!

 

[strigoii]

thank you)

After 2-4 shedings compare then and now pics and ask then. It will be easier to say for sure then.

I'll do that,okey

okey - here we are after a month of living - glorious change in color and looks definately hypo - the first one (maybe he has some snow influence - what do you people think?)

the second (could it be tangerine?) -

The first one is definitely a hypo, and may be on its way to being superhypo if it loses all its spots. A gecko can't really have "snow influence", it either is a snow or is not. Unless it hatched with no yellow and only black and white stripes (which it didn't based on your pictures of it as a hatchling), it has no snow. It may turn out to be a very light yellow, though and be a pastel. I hatched some of those last year by breeding my Tremper albino to my tang. The second one definitely looks tang.
