What am I?

[garner63080]

Ok i have had Jub-Jub about a week now. he is 4-5 weeks old. Looking past the fact that he is skinny (we are working on that) I noticed that he has NO yellow coloring on him at all. Is this just cause he is a baby and the color will come with his age? Also when we got him all his dark patches werent that dark. Is there something wrong or is this just how they go for a while till the shed?

Maybe a Mack. Is there something wrong with the head? Scars?

Well, Im not sure i think he is just a sickly lizard. We are going to just take him back.

You should post a wanted ad in the classifieds. Maybe there is a breeder near you so you get a quality animal and save on shipping. Or I'd say pay shipping. It's worth it in the end when you buy from a trusted breeder.

Is it possibly a AFT leopard crossbreed? He has alot of AFT coloring. I heard they can crossbreed but the offspring either doesn't hatch or live long if they do.

We took him back and got a better looking one elsewehere. I thinks its a standard.but not sure. Any help ob this would be appreciated. Why he looks like and why

Looks hypo or jungle. Hard to tell @ this age. P.S. this one looks a lot healthier, where is from?
(and by standard did you mean normal?)

 

[garner63080]

I actually got him at petsmart. We have gotten 2 there now.that look good and healthy. Two or three times now Petco has had.some.dingy looking lizards.
Why would you say hypo or jungle. Im new at this and still trying to get all my terms correct. I didn't think jungles had a set tail pattern. He has the rings.

You are right, he's not jungle, but aberrant. Probably too soon to know hypo or not. Very pretty!

 

[garner63080]

What do you mean by hypo? I've never been clear on that one

hypo means 10 or few spots in the banded area after they are devoloped..
super hypo means NO spots on back

 

[brillobee]

A hypo has very few spots on the body. I hope you disinfected the tank and everything before putting your new gecko in where the sick one was.

 

[JeepFreak81]

hypomelanistic - meaning they can't generate black pigment so they don't have the black spots like many other morphs

 

[garner63080]

I guess it is too young to tell at the moment. What are the chances of him being a morph?

Well its not a banded normal so it is a morph.. just not sure which one at this point..
thats the downfall of buying a pet store gecko..

 

[kadabraz]

just out of curiosity are you in Dallas? that gecko looks familiar lol
