Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Definitely reds.
Reds have more patterning on the head, and black spots in within the light eyespots on the back.
Yellows lack those characters and have a light streak along the spine.

Just so I understand.....is mine a red as well??? It very well could be, I adopted it from an 'iffy' friend who told me she was a 'yellow'; she (I think) didn't get enough food so I took it on. If it is, I would like to know so I can take proper care of it.

I see the lack of color and what appears to be a light streak.

Your ackies look to be yellows. The lack dark spots in the ocelli (yours only has faint spots in some), the lack of pattern on the head, and the smaller tail whorls point to yours being the "yellow" line of ackies. The ackie at the top is still a juvie and already has quite intense tail whorls relative to the yellow pictured below. Also the ocelli contain much darker spots.

Seems I cannot edit my post to correct my grammar! Oops.
Let me try that again!
Your ackie looks to be a yellow. The lack of dark spots in the ocelli (your lizard only has faint spots in some of the ocelli and not the expected dark spots), the lack of pattern on the head, and the smaller tail whorls point to your lizard being the yellow line of ackie. The ackie at the top is still a juvenile and already has the intense tail whorls, patterned head, and dark spots in the ocelli that you'd expect in a red. Typically the yellows also have a more subdued color though this will vary in some lines.

Thanks Joey......Interestingly enough, I called proexotics.com today inquiring about a trio of "yellow" Ackies. A trio and a single are going up tomorrow. Since the breeding of these guys in the states have been so over done, they list them as 'PE' and wont list as red or yellow anymore.
