"High Color" typically is used in place of "High Yellow" to get more attention. The High Yellow morph is just a regular leopard gecko thats a lot more yellow then typical.
However, that juvie does not look like its a High Yellow. It looks like it might be a Hypo of sorts? Im not quite sure..
But I can say it is pretty healthy looking! It's color is vibrant, it looks to be developing right, and its tail hasn't ever fallen off and its a great fat-size for its age!

Ok, so it pretty much means "brighter" 
. Sure is cute though.
I was considering getting it tomorrow or saturday. Haven't decided for sure though, I need another UTH. And I'd have to make a top for the 30 gallon tank I have outside. And it'll probably be sold before I get everything together. This is a new pet store, just opened in May, and this is the first leo they've had.

If you can get everything ready in the next few days maybe ask if you can buy it but have it on hold at the store or something until you can bring it home.

I don't think I'm going to get him. I need to conserve money this month for my (much needed, my job sucks!) vacation at the end of the month. The gecko is $40, but I don't have another UTH. If I hadn't moved my toads to my empty 10 gallon, I could swing if I stuck him with a lamp for heat, but I don't want to do that. Maybe he could live in the roach bin! :biggrin:

The one in the picture is not a Super Hypo, super hypos have no spots in the body, it's a hypo, meaning it has very little spots, if yours don't have spots, then it's a super hypo

He's still at the pet store. I was asking about him and they said he's a sweetie. I asked if he liked being held. They said "he loves to be held but keeps his mouth open the whole time". Um, I think this means he does NOT like that. But whatever. If he's still there next month, I'll get him.

He is very interesting picture my gecko he is nig he is 41grams and is very fat large by comparison. why he does not have spots? it is a good lizard probably just check to see if he having teeth so it will not bite your blood. he is somewhat looks like nig but nig is large.

Incorrect. Super Hypo is 'still little to no spots'. Super Hypos often have one or even two spots in random places and are still considered Super Hypo.

Its a Super Hypo, as it only has 2 spots, in my opinion, having studied the matter deeply because my Eos is a Hypo.

There are different morphs of leopard geckos. Nig is larger because he is older. You mean bite your hand? Or to draw blood? Leos don't really have teeth and it would have to be really pissed to bite hard enough to draw blood, if that is possible, I am not sure. I have only been bit by a baby and thats because I was being silly and she wasnt used to me or me her

I have had them draw blood once, though really just like a paper cut so not deep, and it only really cut because I was stupid and jerked when hand when she first bit.

Thanks! Good to know, That's almost a knee-jerk reaction though, to pull back, I do it when mine arches up her body like a pissed cat. Even though she hasn't hissed or bit me since the first few days of me having her.
