Default Coleonyx ID help...

I bought this gecko as a Tucson, Coleonyx V. Bogerti, but all the Bogertis I've seen are more yellow, with brown markings. To me this one looks more like Coleonyx V. Variegatus. I know that each individual looks unique, so I suppose I could have a very light colored Bogerti, but what do you think? I'm looking to start a breeding project with this little guy, but I'd like to make sure I pick up females of the same sub-species, and breed pure.

Since it is a male, you can look at the pre-anal pore. Eight or more is bogerti, seven or less is variegatus. For more details go to:
