What morph is my Leo?

[samthebigkid]

I picked him out because he seemed to have a liking to me the first time i saw him, never really found what morph he is though. Thanks

that's a subadult hypo tangerine? baldy. If the dots on the body decrease it could become a super hypo tangerine? baldy

I'm with Paul. Hypo Tang for me. :main_yes:

What does "hypo" mean?

 

[Zynx_Keekeio]

hypo means it has less than 12 I think spots on it (it's something along those lines...I think the number is lower though)

 

[amanda_ols]

Oh ok, so Jax, my tangerine, must be a hypo then. Thanks for clarifying.

Ive got a question, why would it be considered a tangerine when it has no tangerine in it?

I agree with you its a Hypo in my opinion. I don't see any orange in it whatsoever. It should definitely become a nice Super Hypo when it grows up.

Hypo is short for Hypomelanistic which means a reduction or lack of black pigment.

it's hard to see, but he DOES have some bright orange at the base of his tail i think i have a photo that shows this

It is a Tangerine there is a possibility it will develop a carrot tail with age when my gecko was a baby it had a very little bit of orange on its tail and now she has a beautiful carrot tail (can be seen on my Avatar)-SHTCT
