She is definately a keeper. Hatched out a little early and had to be hand fed for over a month. She has grown so much since then and is now over 30 grams. She is a real Sweetie pie. But I don't know what she would be classified under. She has an almost jungle look to her but only one bar on the tail is actuall broken so I'd say aberrant for pattern, but her color is olive green and yellow with a dark hue to her entire body. Not sure if it was an incubation thing, or a fluke or what, but what would she be classified under? Anyone know.

Believe it or not her parents were a jungle male and a blizzard female. The thing I like best about her is her happy face on her head. the spots are actually outlined and not dark inside. 2 round eyes, a round nose and a smile. lol

Here are a couple from earlier this year.
She was starting to shed here so she's a little greyish. ;)

I'd say a Dark jungle you should breed her out and see if the dark carries through :)

The pic is pretty dark, do you have a better one of her?
She isnt anerythristic because this has to do with the red pigmentation...
She isnt axantic because we can still see yellow.
I can't say for sure until you get a brighter pic but she is either hypoxantic or regular.
Nice leo!! :)

Those pictures are fairly bright. She is that dark, if you look at the papertowel you will see it is white in with a bit of shadow but not enought to change her color. Also the ones she is on the black background are pretty acurate as well. I'll try to get more pictures later but that is pretty much what she looks like. I'm thinking of bringing her to the expo just for show. Not sure if I want to sell her yet. I don't want to breed her cuz I'm not crazy over dark leos, but she is a sweet girl.

I dont know about everyone else but I would call it a leopard gecko.....LOL A pretty one at that........

I agree with gregg, this looks like a regular leopard gecko. If you look in the leopard gecko manual you can see a pic of some WC animals, I think she looks like them :)

Thanks everyone, I just wasn't sure, I've seen the wc ones and seen how dark they were, I just hadn't noticed them being an olive green color like this girl, that's why I was curious. So I guess she's just a normal jungle. But sweet non the less. ;)

Yeah, I have some stripped leos with that sweet olive green in them....... I bought them because of the olive green patches.......
