Can someone help me with the color of this gecko? Mom was a sht and dad I would consider a normal or high yellow. Anyhow we were wanting to prove mom out but this is the only surviving baby and she's just weird colored. Super pale yellow that seems to be fading to white with light lavendar head and bands that are going away with very little spotting. Is she normal? Ghost? Some kind of hypo? Thanks.

I had several of these, that I called pastel from my tremper albino x hypo tang cross. They started out getting whiter and whiter but did darken somewhat as they got older. The pictures below are of the same gecko but about 7 weeks apart.

Whats acpart pics? Just hatched she was dark yellow with purple/black banding. I'll try to find a pic, she just keeps getting paler and paler with each shed.

The one I posted above with the 2 pictures is actually a nice lemony color; the picture makes her out darker than she really is. She also got lighter and lighter with each shed --you can see her at her lightest in the 13 gram picture which was taken 11/4. Then she started to get more spotty and darken up a bit, but is very different in color from the non-pastel ones from the same parents.

I'm still trying to find one-I think it's on the pc that isn't working right now. Just hatched she looked just like a hi yellow hatchling from the 1st gecko manual and I thought she would look like her dad, but then all the black on her turned lavendar and then both yellow/lav started to pale up. She's a few months old now and the slowest grower of them all. I'll get a pic in a few weeks to compare. I guess right now I could call her a pastel maybe until we see what he color does??

I say a hypo high yellow, I would say lavendar too, but its not big enough to know when the color change will stop.
