I have a hypo tangerine carrot tail female too - yours does not look full grown yet...is she? I think she needs to be a little older/bigger before you try to breed her.

Also, I wouldnt stray too far from her "genes" when you breed her. mixing morphs isnt always the greatest idea. Many people do it, but theres a lot of debate against it.

However, personally Id suggest mating her with another hypo. Maybe a baldie or a brighter tangerine. That way you keep the DNA pretty steady but youll also have some more "pure" and colorful babies =]
If you really really dont want to keep it "in the same family", then maybe a mack snow or a super snow. That bloodline is pretty pure (if you get from a good breeder) and the babies will have some interesting differences.

no she not an adult yet she wieghs around 36 - 38 grams atm not even thinking of breeding her until shes a good 50g or higher. iv had her for four months atm i may breed my other gecko aswell she is the same age but has always been larger and eaten more there is no bickering but shes a big girl lol shes a normal thinking about getting a bright hypo tangerine male

Awesome =]

Thats always the best idea to keep the morphs bred together. That way, if you sell any of the babies people will actually be getting an actual morph, not just some different morphs "thrown together" with unclear bloodline/genes.

Ive got a Super hypo baldie thats an unsexed juvie right now, so if it turns out to be a male Im definitely considering breeding it with my hypo tangerine. Both are hypos, but have different characteristics.
However if I end up with another female then I might purchase a male - but if Im going to breed him I'll definitely get a hypo. lol

Good luck with your geckos and your breeding adventures!
