This is my new tokay gecko. I don't know what kind of this morph. Is it Hypo tokay gecko? Pls help e to take a look it.

Hypo is short for hypomelanistic which means reduced black pigment. So, I wouldn't consider this a hypo. It is high red though and very nice looking.

Tks for your reply. But as you know the tokay gecko alway change their skin color so i can't detect which color is correct.



he alway bring this color or lighter.

If can. Can you show me the hypo tokay gecko picture as example.

Nobody want to answer me? so said

I answered your question already. He's way to dark in pigment to be considered hypo. He's a nice big looking animal though. I don't think I'd really consider him a "morph" of any type though. Just a good looking example of a normal.

But they also have this listed as a hypo and it looks nothing like the other one:





Again, like I said in the other post, you can call something anything you want, but it's the genetics that count. The meaning of hypomelanistic is reduced black pigment. So you have to ask yourself, "Does that term really fit that animal" and then secondly, can that be reproduced through breeding.
