Yet another "What Am I?" Thread

[Fuzzy]

Hey everyone,

This is Boba. He was purchased in early August from a local pet store (and was absolutely TINY), and was sold on "consignment" from a local breeder. They told me he was a Tangerine, but I hoped somebody could give me specifics. I do not believe he has fully matured yet, and I apologize for the pictures- He is going to shed in a few days and is kind of "dull" right now. His eyes are a kind of emerald with a few crazy swirls.

Thank you so much!

Also- I just bought a new baby yesterday from the same store, she was sold as a "Snow Leopard Gecko". Gee, thanks for the specifics Pet Store People. -_-; I'll put pictures of her up later, she is absolutely tiny and very new and I'd rather not stress her out with a camera flash just yet =) She is bluegray with dark blueish spots though.

She's a pretty Normal (High yellow)

 

[MrLeoGecko]

yes she's a normal but dont be upset about the word normal i think there just a pretty

 

[Fuzzy]

So Boba is a high yellow normal? Wow. He was advertised as a Tangerine.

Any clue on what Echo might be? (The baby I mentioned, no pictures of it yet.)

 

[MrLeoGecko]

im not sure but i dont think theres such thing as a high yellow normal i think its just one or the other but shes defo not a tang

 

[Fuzzy]

When he sheds, he is extremely vibrate. He's really dull right now and will shed soon. The orange and yellow are very pronounced when he is "fresh"

A high yellow normal is a normal with a large amount of yellow, no? Like a hypo tang is a tang with low spotting.

 

[Fuzzy]

Regardless of what he is, I love him to pieces. He's so sweet. I am wondering if he would render interesting offspring if I were to breed him to a Snow?

 

[MrLeoGecko]

the thing u said at the start of the thread He is going to shed in a few days and is kind of "dull" right now

i still dont now how to quote lol


i realli dont think u can tell that early when there going into shed u usally see sign's the day there going into shed i.e.the white slowly creeping up there legs lol

 

[MrLeoGecko]

A high yellow normal is a normal with a large amount of yellow, no?
well i just thought they were 2 diffent morphs but the high yellow with more vibrant colours

 

[MrLeoGecko]

if i were u id learn about the species atleast for a year and get them up 2 weight before u consider breeding

 

[Fuzzy]

Boba is most vibrant the week or so after a shed, and then close to when he sheds again he sort of "dulls". That or he's been rolling in his calcium. Jus' sayin'.

Edit: Of course, I'm going to do a ton more research and give my geckos a few years before I would even consider breeding. I'm not irresponsible, just curious.

 

[MrLeoGecko]

im not saying ure wrong but i carnt tell untill the day they shed

 

[Fuzzy]

Thank you for your help! I kept seeing Tangerines and wondering why mine didn't look like that. I figured he probably wasn't one, and I got jipped at the store. It's alright, he's amazing.

 

[Enigmatic_Reptiles]

[MrLeoGecko]

[Fuzzy]

While you guys are in here I might as well ask, what Gram Scale do you use? I'm about to buy one.

 

[MrLeoGecko]

[Fuzzy]

Cool. Thanks for your help:main_thumbsup:
