This thread has given me a headache. I have LOTS of geckos to cake care of and IMO they are more important than arguing over how many spots makes a 'hypo'. :wall:

im trying to show you that afganicus isnt the only kind of leo we have. Afghanicus is what ppl see more as normals, those ones AM has are hypos but are 100% w/c so as you can see that one isnt too far off from a wild caught leo.

Bad bonce back :behead: :p .
Knowing weather you have a hypo or normal.Is not as important as the heath & care of the leo but all the same plays a part.If it didn't then there wouldn't be a price differant between your normal & hypo tangering.They'd be the same price '?as the amount of spot a leo has don't matter'? till it suits you '.It's important to some one that want's to breed there leo to know what they have.so they know what to breed it with.Some people just like to know what they have etc'etc.

I know there are variations in sub'sp and i do beleave that the hybriding between the variations sub'sp.In captivity in the early days is one of the main reasons why normals look so differant from each other.But if your going down that road that would make TUG & Albey's line bred snow nothing more than normals.as they started of with the more whiter examples sub'sp (FASCIOLATUS) that was WC witch seem fairly common in the wild by the look of the stock i've seen in the last couple of year.And that's the main reason i'm asking where the line is between a reduced spotted and a hypo.

This is getting out of hand. Plain and simple its what anyone personally thinks a hypo should be. When it comes to pricing if you call something a hypo and put a bigger price tag on it and other people don't think its a hypo then they won't pay so what is the big deal. If you are getting mad that people are calling hypos things that shouldn't be called hypos then dont buy the gecko. All in all who cares this is just a thread that is getting way out of hand because no matter what anyone says Gazz is going to argue. Just end it and everyone think what you want to think PERIOD.

Exactly! It is all subjective. If a gecko doesn't meet YOUR standards of what a 'hypo' is, then don't buy it and find one that does. Simple.

Agreed. Apparently, whatever the opinion is of those of us who have been around for 12+ years doesn't have any gravity.

Questing a top dog is't arguing there just questions that's all.you have had reptiles 12 odd year bully for you Same here.The only difference is your wallet bigger than mine.That's all so you have more leo's than me with a nice little web site.

This is the second time you have made comments like this, and one of them was to Kelli.

I think there is a big difference is what YOU contribute to this site and to the Leopard Gecko community compared to what Kelli and I, and most others here, have to contribute.... and it has nothing to do with the 'size of someone's wallet' or 'having more geckos than you'.

I am going to close this useless thread, Gazz. Not because you may think you have won any popularity contests, but because it's comments like the ones you make that bring this website down a notch.
