Could be a yellow mack snow...I'm afraid I'm not really sure but I'd err towards normal. Mack snows hatch with no yellow, but I don't know if at 3 months the gecko could have developed this much. So, in a slightly unhelpful way, I'm afraid I don't really know ;-)

Had this little fella about a week. he is light brown and yellow with a bit of white on his tail (sorry bout dark picture didnt want to scare him with bright lights)

Breeder i got him from said this is his second tail as he had to be put into his own tank as another gecko he was being kept with bit him. So im still trying to fatten him up a little bit.

The breeder also said he was an albino but im not sure.

What breed?

Hello im looking to find out what breed my leopard gecko is. From all the info and pictures i have found, looks to be a either a normal, or jungle gecko.
Below are a few pictures, hopefully they help. And if anyone can help me determine the age too. The place i purchased it from didnt know the age.(Petco)

He is indeed albino can't be sure what strain from these photos though, need an eye shot

Looks like you have a normal aberrant there the bands on the tail aren't broken, so technically not jungle, s/he doesn't have a full stripe (so not a stripe).

Thank you so much, Is there a certain way to determine age?

broken rings on tail?

The rings are the blackish brown color right? if so i the rings are broken, they only go about half way down the side of the tail. Is it possible to have a cross breed morph? so in theory a 2nd generation morph?

Hi I am New here I have a young Leopard gecko I think from my research it is a Mack snow, I think is is currently to young to sex, I am not sure of its age here
If it is a Mack Snow what would be a nice Morph to mate it with in the future? Pic attached. Any help would be appreciated, Cheers.

No problem You can't be certain of the age unless you know the hatch date. However, length and weight should give you a good idea.

Yes, the black rings. Sorry I wasn't very clear, by not broken I mean uniform and parallel to each other along the top. They always disappear halfway down the side, as the underside of the tail is generally pale like the belly. A jungle's random patterning goes down the tail too as well as the body

Hi, and welcome Pretty sure your gecko is a normal, not mack snow. From the picture it definitely looks under a year old, length and weight will help give you a better estimate.

 

[TJ1984]

ok

thank you for clearing that up now i understand. As for age, if my gecko is 4 1/2-5 inches long around how old would it be? im not sure on weight, because i dont have a scale that will pick up that small of weight, any advice on what kind of scale to look for?

Thanks for the greeting, Yea I measured it today its just over 6 inches, do you know if its common for a normal to have a kink tail? I looked it up and most people think its a calcium issue yet I cover its food and leave a dish of calcium in its Viv. Related to thread as tail possibly linked to morph?

Hello everyone I need some help identifying this morph, I believe it's a tangerine but any confirmation or otherwise is appreciated.

Thanks

No the kink wouldn't be to do with the gecko's morph.

[Could be due to calcium deficiency, an injury or could have hatched like that. You mentioned calcium, but do you give multivitamins, minerals and D3? What is your supplement routine? You should be dusting around 2 x a week with plain calcium carbonate and once with D3 and multivitamins/minerals (for example). If you've had your gecko from very young and it's always been like it, and you supplement correctly I don't think there should be any reason to worry.] - Admin please move if this isn't appropriate in the morph thread

I suggest you write a thread in the main leo forum to get some more opinions if you're worried as this is the morph thread

You're welcome

[Hatchlings tend to be around 3 inches when they emerge from the egg so your gecko sounds pretty young.

Generally cooking scales are good as they measure relatively small weights, go for digital as they're much more accurate I bought mine in a kitchen shop. Have a look around, amazon etc would be a good place to start and may have them cheaper than a shop.]
- Again apologies to admin if this should be in a different place, please move if appropriate

I'm afraid I'm not sure on this one, but s/he has quite a lot of orange and greens, I'm wondering maybe emerine or similar? Anyone have any other opinions? :idea:

 

[geckogex]

maybe wild type gecko?

Hey!
I've had my gecko for a few weeks now and was curious what pattern her morph represented looked through all of the different types of morphs on the two websites that were recommended and nothing really came close except for the wild type so if someone could be let me know if I am right or what other type it could be! Also do you think the pattern will lighten as she gets older?
Thanks so much for the advice and opinions!

From the first photo your gecko could either be mack snow or normal, but I'm pretty sure it is mack snow Do you have a photo of her as a hatchling?

She will get 'lighter' as the spots will diffuse as she grows to become individual...if that makes sense :lol:

Yes that completely makes sense lol Thank you! I am curious to see how light she will get as she grows!?! I hope she is indeed a mack snow because that is what I originally wanted, I just love how they look! Either way though she is my little beauty!

Also no i don't have pictures of her as a hatchling, I wish I did! the middle picture was actually taken the second week I had her. She is my first Leopard Gecko and I am hooked!! absolutely love them!

Thanks again for your help!
