Carrot Tail
Carrot Tail is a leopard gecko color trait describing orange pigmentation on the tail, usually starting near the base. Some breeders use informal percentage language to describe how much of the tail is orange, but standards vary. The trait is commonly associated with tangerine, hypo, albino, and related projects, and is generally treated as line-bred color rather than one simple gene.
A Carrot Tail leopard gecko should be assessed first as a healthy gecko: clear eyes, good weight, steady feeding, clean sheds, and a tail that reflects condition rather than obesity. Tail color may intensify or fade with age and breeding background. For breeding, parent photos, hatch dates, and notes on color development help separate stable selection from temporary juvenile brightness or marketing language.
