I've heard some spout that 10 spot thing before. I'll just make a correction for you, because that isn't right.

ANY spots on the body, in a reduced pattern, means hypo.
NO spots on the body with spots ONLY on the head or tail means super hypo.
NO Spots AT ALL means super hypo baldy.

so that is shtctB. a bit white on the body is counted as spots too? or spots just means for dark or black color ?

def baldy

mhh the breeder told me less than 10 spots on body is a super hypo more ! and i mean the black spots!

Hypo means “hypo melanistic”, or reduction of black coloration (spotting). Tangerine just means orange coloration. Super hypo tangerine just signifies an exceptional hypo tangerine. Unfortunately, the definition of a super hypo tangerine varies between breeders. My classification of a super hypo tangerine is a bright tangerine bodied gecko, with no spots on the body, and a reduction of spotting on the head (if not a “baldy” with a completely spotless head). Carrot tail in its basic meaning refers to any amount of orange-red coloration in the tail, which can be observed on many morphs, including albinos, patternless, and hypo tangerines.

so that is confusing if every breeder does his own thing !

Yeah, that sounds to me like someone who's breeding hypos and wants more money; so they say 10 or less is super hypo. Money grabbing, really. A real super hypo has no spots, period.

all our tangering we got form him have no spoting on there bodys at all ,2 baldys and one only has 3 spots on her head !

he went out of buissnes ,he said he is getting to old! we got all super hypo tangeringes and baldies for 40 ,- dollars ! so i know he didnt say that to me because he wanted more money!

and i belive him he did that for many many years he knows what he is talking about!

I'm not trying to call your breeder friend a liar. I'm just stating what my personal and te general consensus opinion of what constitutes super hypo.

The 10 spots rule is regarding the difference between High Yellow and Hypo.

High Yellow gecko's are gecko's with reduced spotting.
Hypo's are gecko's with less than 10 spots on the body.
(more than 10 spots is High Yellow)

Super Hypo's are no spots on the body.

Where does tangerine come in to play? I have been calling Echo a Hypo Tangerine, but according to the 10 spot rule, he would not be Hypo, but he still isn't all that spotty. Is he still Tangerine, or would he be considered High Yellow?





Editing to add another photo, this one is his true coloring, my other camera over saturates and I tried to fix it, but still left him too orange , this one is from last august, when he was just 6 months old or so.

Tangerine is whether or not a gecko portrays orange colouring.
So if a gecko constitutes as a Hypo and also has Tangerine colouring, then its a Hypo Tangerine.

I'd say your gecko can be called a Hypo. Some may call it a High Yellow.
The 10 spots rule is not fact, its an opinion based thing, the number varies from around 10 - 25.
