I picked her up from petco. She is about 2 years old. She is very pretty, healthy, and calm. But heres the question. What is she? Her name is Aurora.

She's gorgeous! I'd call her a High Yellow Hypo, but that's just me...

[LeopardGeckoMom52688]

Any one else have any input on what she is?

 

[Lottiz]

revers stripe? High yellow.

 

[Gazz]

I'd give her hypo the spots look to be influenced by the dorsal stripe .Spots tened to follow dorsal stripe down the spine.She may have some red stripe ancerstery ??.

Cute chunky monkey :main_thumbsup: .

Hmm that gecko looks very similar to one of males that I have over here. Will post pic later.

Wow, she's lovely and Aurora is a great name for her. Just curious as to why she was free - I'm assuming she was turned in by the previous owner and that's why she was an "adoptee" instead of for sale.

I don't kno why she was free. But I kno everyone in the petco I got her from and they all know she was going to a great home. So maybe thats why. they have seen most of my geckos and they kno I have an african fat tailed gecko and a crested. But other then that I don't kno why they adopted her to me for free

when petco does adoptions it's always free. was it an owner surrender? If so, that's why she was free. If they don't give money when someone brings them an animal, they can't sell it. for example, someone gets an animal from another petstore, and decides they don't want it, takes it to petco, and they can't give them money for it. Or, if someone does get an animal from petco, but waits till after their 15 days to give it back, then petco can't give them money for a return, so they adopt out the animal. Or, if they have a surplue of a certain animal, and no one is buying them, then thay can adopt them out; example being if they have tons of large rats and no one will buy them at 9.99 a piece, they can adopt them out for free. Another reason, they will adopt out an animal is if it's got something wrong with it and it'll be permenant damage; example being if an aft has an abcess on its mouth and after being medicated with two different meds and showing no improvement, they may adopt it out. could have been any number of reasons really...

she's very cute either way though.

she was a surrender to petco. The owner no longer wanted her.
