carrot tail isnt a morph it just refers to geckos with at least 15% of their tail orange. Lots of morphs can have carrot tails.

Sunglows and tangerines are a morph.

Sunglows are basically an albino shtct(i think?)

Tangs are not albino but just an orange(tangerine) colored gecko

Sunglows are a super hyo carrot tail albino witch is a morph.
Tangs are just a leo with more orange on its body.
carrot tails are a leo with a good amount of orange on its tail.

Pretty much everybody else already said it, but just for fun, I will say it again.

A carrot-tail in my opinion is a gecko with at least 40% carrot-tail. Other considers this 15% and there is nothing wrong with this. The carrot-tail trait is normal crossed with the tang trait.

A tangerine is just a gecko that has an orange, yellow, or red color, through out most of its body and head. It can also have a carrot-tail which my be a factor as why this is difficult to understand.

A sunglow is just an albino (normally tremper strain. The other strains are normally referred to as hybinos) It can be tang, and have a carrot-tail as well. The only difference is the albino gene.

Here are references to a carrot-tail, a tangerine, a tangerine carrot-tail, and a sunglow.

Carrot-tails (Most of the ones at the top of the page are carrot-tails, that I don’t consider tang)

Tangerine, these are tangs, without the 40% carrot-tail, which in my opinion makes a carrot-tail.

Tangerine Carrot-tail, as you can see they have a tang, color, most with great carrot-tails
