What morphs are my new duo?

I know they're probably way to tiny to tell exactly what they are. I am thinking one is a jungle Mack snow and I have no clue on the other. Anybody have any idea? Thanks for looking.

Hmmm, it's an nice looking animal for sure...:D
Hypo means 'reduced spotting'
And Tangerine's are the yellow colored animals...so I'd say a Hypo tangerine, with an unusual striped tail(?).
I'm quite curious how it turn's out, once it's fully grown!
Greetings,

Cindy

I thought hypo tangerines were born with bands that eventually disappear. Sprocket is my SHTCTB and she's still losing hers. I am puzzled with this little one. Nobody else has any idea?

Well, I think, until I am shown otherwise, that my little one may be a Hypo Tangerine Stripe (if there is such a thing). I saw a pic of a striped leo on lzrdgrl.com that reminds me of her (it's a bold stripe). Maybe she's a hypo bold stripe (sounds impossible really!)?
Here's the photo of the striped one I saw next to Neko:

I don't think there's a hypo tangerine stripe either but I'm not 100% sure she is a a hypo tangerine (no bands on her body, at this age, she'd definitely have banding).

She certainly is stunning, IMO, and hard to describe morphologically! Her head and the base of her tail are deeper orange than the rest of her body too, the pics don't do her justice in that respect.

Do you really want to know? :p I was on a meal-worm mission at the Petsmart down the street from me, and they didn't have anyone that could help me when I first got there and so I decided to check out the leos. They had just gotten in some new hatchlings (they called them juveniles, but there was really a mix of juvies and hatchlings of all different ages and sizes, unfortunate really- the perfect set up for stress and anorexia!), and so I asked to see them. Sure enough, there they were. There wasn't a single one similar to Neko at all, and only one more similar to the Mack Snow. They were on sale too, coincidentally, so I decided to take them home before they turned into tailless, toe-less juvies like my Athena (we got her from the same store a few weeks ago-she has a regen tail and is missing most her toes, poor baby- I have to help her shed on her toes now-she may have lost a limb had we not got her-makes me want to write a letter to the corporate headquarters).
But yeah, I got them at Petsmart.

ok well first off the orange looking one isnt a hypo its what they call a
" patternless stripe" that is NOT the same thing as a murphy's patternless.

a patternless stripe is when you breed a stripe to a reverse stripe you get some geckos that are showing both they are called patternless stripes or Rainbows. usualy they are het for the eclipse gene. because it is belived and proven that "patternless stripes" unlocked if you will the eye gene.

as for the mack that you have it looks like it could have come from the same project you can tell that it has stripe in its background.

the reason i asked where you got them from is cause some breeders sell this type of gecko off whole sale to pet stores.

there is nothing wrong with them thet the do that its just these type are more likely hets for something that someone dosent want them to know what they are het for so the sell them unlabled so they can be "lost in the shuffle"

if you have a boy and a girl i would breed them together. (if you want to breed them ) if not i would get a Raptor to breed to them. if i am corect these two are poss het tremper. any way they are a great find for a pet store.

here is a link of the patternless stripe stuff A&M Gecko

and here is a baby patternless stripe that i hatch about 2 weeks ago

See, I thought when I saw pictures of adult Rainbow stripes that Noodles gecko may be that but I did not seen any pictures of hatchlings.

Interesting and I learned something new today :)

I was coming to the same conclusion, actually. :Dlol. Right before reading this post I was about to post a pic of a patternless stripe and ask if maybe she was one of them! How cool.
I had always wondered how Petsmart and Petco occassionally got morphs other than normals, high-yellows and albinos. I do plan to breed them if they turn out to be a male and female. I would like to breed the male (Mack Snow) to my SHTCTB female as well, and possibly to my aberrant (poss. stripe-has a regen tail so i don't know). I guess I could get quite a range of morphs from this group. I am thinking about adding a RAPTOR or APTOR in the future as well.
It should be interesting to say the least. :D I am excited and can't wait to see the results next year.
Thanks so much for answering my question!
