Please help me identify this LEO!!!!

[Mike Cavanaugh]

I am SO excited! I have my very first Leo hatching!!! I thought for sure the eggs were dead so I lost track of what mom it came from...

The parents:

Tangerine mom.

or

Tremper albino inverted stripe het for raptor.

Dad is a Tremper albino Rapter.

I don't really know squat about LEO genetics... can anyone tell what this is?

[Mike Cavanaugh]

A web search shows it might just be a high yellow? Does that mean the tangerine is the mom? and because of the dad it is officially het for Raptor?

I think you are under the wrong section. Might get some replies here http://ball-pythons.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=80 .

Hi,

Moved to leopard gecko morphs for you.

If it doesn't get replied to PM me and we'll try the general leo forum instead.

Yup! You got it, Tangerine is the mom so this one has a good chance of ending up looking like her, and yeah, would be het for RAPTOR as well.

Congrats on your first hatchling!

Never was good with genetics so can't help you there. It's so hard to tell what a wee baby will look like as an adult.
This little fella's eyes are really different thought, they appear to have a blue-ish 'ring' around the pupil? Pretty neat if they stay that way and probably a trait from dad (I would think).
Congrats on the little guy

Whats got me confused is it looks nothing like the tangerine... different colors and the tangerine doesn't even have any stripes.

It's really cute! No idea on genetics, but I'm looking for pages about the genetics of leos or especially AFTs, so I can study up on it.

Congrats on hatching your first leo!!! Gotta be exciting! So tiny!

The stripes won't be there for long. If it came from the other mom, it'd be an albino.

Raptor dad X Albino mom = all albinos.

Yeah what Kom@tose said. The babies have stripes, but they will probably fade out as it gets older.

Edit: Also if you want a great place for leopard geckos, have you ever checked out Geckoforums.net? Awesome place! Lots of helpful people with great info.
