Baldy SHTCT :main_yes:
Patternless are more lemon-yellow; Tangs are more orangey. Tangs also have more of a carrot tail. Patternless generally have a white tail with very little orange just at the base of the tail right behind the vent. Tangs don't have white tails; they have brown spots and orange on them.

He does look to be a SHTCTB but is on the line of being that and a Super Hypo CT.
I think what you're seeing when it comes to the brown spots on the tail is the mixing of the orange and black. A gecko without any kind of albino genetics will have black spots. Some geckos colors will fade, especially after breeding. The color will change and start to look a dirty orangish, brownish, black; if you get what that means.

Look under her tail; is the underside entirely white? Here are pics of a Murphy Patternless from the leopard gecko wiki. The tail has to be all white with no spots, and mayby very little orange at the base. No brown dots whatsoever.
I still think you have a Tang. As you can see on those pics, they do have some dark spots in their carrot tails. They also have some color and dots under their tails; they are not entirely white.
Hm! Maybe post a whole body pic of your gecko? Where did you get it from; doesn't the breeder/store know what it is?

Her tail fades from orange to yellow to black/brown spots. The underside is white. In comparison to a patternless, all of them have a much whiter tail and are a paler yellow. She the gecko that got me hooked. I kind of inherited her from some that didn't know what they were getting into. So I have no idea what het she is. I think she was a petco baby. But three years later I still don't understand morphs and I'm still hooked.

SHTCTB=Super Hypo Tangerine Carrot Tail Baldy. That is indeed what you have. She's purty!
Baldy just means no spots on the head.

Murphy Patternless dont have spots (unless they are paradox spots). Those spots on the tail are a definite indicator its not a Murphy's Patternless.

I dunno, it looks like at least a 15% CT from the part we can see, and it has nice filled-in color to it...why not a CT?

Its supposed to be at least 15% of unbroken orange from base to the beginning of pattern. The carrot tail on that gecko, as seen more easily in the first picture, is broken after a very small distance.
