I copied this thread to a new location so that I can keep the other thread for my pics.

The first picture is a head shot of an amel motley.
The 2nd & 3rd is a head shot of my sunkissed female, Ruth.
The 4th is Wulfgar, my normal male het ultra, possible het caramel and motley.
The 5th and 6th are pics of one of my normal motley females, Sade.

This is just going to get things started! Later tonight I will be posting a BUNCH more!

This is the only pic I am able to upload at the moment of my unknown albino morph, but will try to get more of her/him on here. I'm thinking reverse okeetee albino, but not too sure. We had an incident with duct tape while taking her out of her box when I first got her about 48hrs ago. Any ideas will be appreciated as wht I should do with the tape. Olive oil is going to be tried. It is stuck good and will not peel of by itself.

She's beautiful. I would probably just call her an amel (amelanistic = without melanin). I am not sure if her borders are wide enough for her to be considered a reverse okeetee. I would definitely try olive oil on the duct tape. Be very gentle working it off of her. The duct tape can damage her skin significantly.

Welcome to the forums!

Yeah, I added about four droppes of olive oil to her tape, and on the skin nearest the tape, and massaged it in the best I could and it did nothing. I tried to gently remove it and it wouldnt budge. I gave her a warm bath and tried in there too and it is stuck good. I put her back in her viv so she could calm down, she was getting restless. Is it a possiblility that it may just come off with her shed? I read that if injury occurs they go into a shed mode to heal themselves.

It would be best to get it off. She may not shed for a couple of weeks. Take a q-tip and douse it with olive oil, then run it back and forth along the edge of the tape. It may take quite a while to get it off, but it really needs to be gotten off as soon as possible.

Once again, I say she is an amel. Even amels have checkers on their bellies. Now...if her borders get better as she gets older, then my opinion may change.

Have you been able to get the duct tape off, yet?
