Your animal is Nephrurus levis pilbarensis. My opinion is based on
experience of this color morph, because realistically we should consider
the scalation of the gular, rostral and other areas to make an accurate
identity. A few scalation characters are all that separates the two
sub-species. The tendency with the morph of pilbarensis that you have is
to become more yellowish as age sets in. Younger animals are more vibrant,
wine-red colored.
Now all you need is a female.

Subject: [Gecko] Nephurus levis pilbarensis vs Nephurus levis occidentalis
<< File: DCP00784.JPG >> Ok, Im having a problem figuring out what exactly
I have here. The pictures
that I have seen of pilbarensis look far to red to be my geckos and the
pictures of occidentalis are the same colour, but my geckos were sold to me
as pilbarensis. I have attached a picture of my male any opinions? The
attached picture makes him look a little orange but he is normaly bannana
yellow.
Thanks
