Re: i have a question for experienced leo owners

Leopard Geckos change as they mature with each shed, it also depends on the morph.

Herro is supposed to be a high yellow and I didn't think they got orange on them.

Re: i have a question for experienced leo owners

YOu probably have a SHCT. THe orange of the tail is carrot tail. Its a trait, more than 25% of the tail has to be cover to be a carrot tail. A pic would help more on the morph, but it sounds more like a SHCT or something like that.

Re: i have a question for experienced leo owners

Yeah, It doesnt look like a SHCT. I would say he is a High-yellow with some color coming in.

We have high-yellows that have the orange aswell.
