Q: What color morph is this?
Posted By:

Hi all!

Soooo I hatched this baby a few months ago and figured it was just a pretty jungle.  It was accidentally incubated a little warm, or had a temp spike, something, while it was in the incubator and hatched out a little "special".  It was born with a nub tail and has 4 toes on one foot, but otherwise is pretty gorgeous and healthy.

Now that it's starting to look like a grown up gecko, the colors on it are changing big time.  I have no idea what it could be so I submit to you, iherpers, what is this?

Mom was an APTOR, dad was probably a jungle albino. Mom was housed with my male Red Stripe for about a week before popping out a couple eggs, but after several months of all my females being with the Red Stripe and no eggs, I figured he was infertile.  They all became gravid after I housed them with my albino snow (this baby was born before I had the snow).

What do you think?  I've included a picture from today, and a picture from when it hatched.

He does show some possible red stripe traits, i'd say he' a red stripe, from his pattern, coloration, and how his spots are defusing. Either way, he's beautiful :) and shows a lot of tangerine traits, it looks like he has a little carrot tail as well

Hmm.  I guess my red stripe isn't infertile after all.  Sonovabeetch.
