Carrot Tails are a relatively new addition to the leopard gecko scene. There is a great debate as to whether this is a recessive trait, or a selectively bred trait, but we won't get into that. There is also a great debate about what actually constitutes a carrot tail, and what does not. In my opinion, all the animals pictured below are carrot tails, although obviously some are more so than others. For me, as long as the animal has orange at the base of the tail of at least 10%, with little to no black spotting interrupting the orange, it is a carrot tail. Others have different opinions, and that's fine too. Carrot tails are generally born with only a small amount of orange on their tails, which later starts to grow and cover more of the tail.
