How do you identify one? I think it has something to do with the eyes, but I'm not sure. I just got my second leo today and I was reading on another geko fourm and they basically said their body pattern was more so blotches then spots. So, I was wondering if they are an engima... here's a link to a video of them. They show no signs of engima syndrome, I might add. Any help is appreciated.

Not seeing any Enigma in that geckos, just looks like a SHTCT to me. enigmas will often have irregular blotches of color scattered around their bodies.

Here are some info on Enigmas.

And here are some examples of Tangerine Enigmas from Urban Gecko.

As you can see, they just have a weird, unique appearance to them. I find that almost every morph does when combined with the Enigma gene.

Thanks, and I read the wiki article already, it confused me more lol
But again, thanks~ I was thinking it was a SHTCT too, and it was labeled as a blizzard... but thats why I come here~ to clarify stuff.

That gecko was labeled as a Blizzard??? People these days... XD I mean, you'd think even without knowing what a Blizzard gecko would look like that it would be um... white! XD
Naw, you have a nice SHTCTB on your hands.

I know right? I called them up to see if they had a SHTCT being I remembered it was orange, and they're like "We have a blizzard" and I'm all o_O It's not white... and I then looked it up on google and I got suspicious xD and didn't believe them.
I'm really hoping it's a male. At some point I'd like to breed it with my other leo, Neara.
