Hypo Monkey Tailed Skink?, (Pic)

[lostwithin]

Hey everyone, I don’t think I have ever posted on this site although I do browse the forms from time to see what’s going on, Now I know MTS are still fairly uncommon in the reptile hobby , I am wondering If anyone else has anything like this. I have a wide variety in my MTS collection, Yellow heads, black heads, greens and browns, but I call them all normal, this girl is special far from normal. Note the white head and how the "black spots" are actually gray and ghost like. not to mention those beautiful blue highlights.

You want to see a Picture of her cage is that what you mean? If so here's one I snapped during building/setting it up. She resides with her group in the section closest to the window.

Well I was really hoping for more feedback, I guess MTS are even less popular then I thought.

devon,

they are pretty rare.

I have actually sold yellow MTS's so I don't know if that one would be hypo. I have seen light greens with whitish heads also but I don't know if it would be hypo or not. I'm not much help I guess...killer looking animal though!

I am also not sure if she’s actually "hypo" I call her that because of her color, I have a couple more who have yellow heads and pale green bodies but nothing like her, Got to love a species where every animals in ever group looks unique.

I read that there are 2 subspecies that have been identified, but I can't find much more than that on the web.

man i have wanted some of these for awhile... the one in the link is very unusaul!

love them all though!!!!

Kimber, I have quite a few that look like yours as well, and that first set of pic's just looks like a normal one in shed.

Tammy, I have seen that site, babies can have some VERY strange traits but I would bet that same animal looks completely normal now. I have a young one who had a pink/red head, but now looks like a completely normal bright green banded individual.

I haven't seen too many babies, we had some little ones at NERD a while back, but they were all pretty normal looking. The thing that strikes me the most about the one in the link is the crazy red eyes!
