As leopard geckos grow and mature, they can develop more orange at the base of their tails. However, this gecko will not be a carrot-tail because it has so much black pigment on it's tail and body.

Yea, I just think its cool that petsmart had him mark as a normal, which he is but the orange on his tail makes him look real nice. They actually said he was a high yellow.

they also sell blizzards as leucistics :p but you can get some nice finds at the petstores sometimes for sure. ive seen ppl walk away with super hypos for the price of a normal before. and the petsmart here occasionally will have a hypo or something but they're never in good shape usually :-/ dont know how many times im gonna have to complain to them about their care.

Yup he's normal. But he's a little fattie fat fat. :D But a normal none the less. At least if I breed him with a Carrot than it wont be as bad of an out breed later on to strengthen some gene pools.
