    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I don't know about the orange spot,lol, But I have one with one of those weird black spots,or blotches in her case.
 
i have a couple of geckos with the black spots and i hjave two or three hypos with the orange marks/spots.... i have seen it before in other peoples collections too...... i dont think its rare by any means but its not common either
just my opinions
 
odd pigmentation

what i found bizzarre about the black spot is that it is really dark. one spot on her back and its solid black. normally theyre faded... its almost as if the melanin is fighting to shine through on her.

whats strange about the spot on yours is where its located like the orange spot on my geckos elbow.

the really strange thing to me is that they both occur on the same gecko!!!

pretty cool stuff.

p.s. nice color in that tangerine hypo!
