Is this a leopard gecko or an african fat tailed?

Hi everyone,

I was on Yahoo Answers and came across a question that asked what kind of gecko this is: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/843/photo1lj.jpg/ . All the answers(4) said it was a leopard gecko, however, I've never seen this morph before (it is a pretty gecko though ^_^). So I thought, "Oh, it's an african fat tailed gecko." But then, I saw it's eyes and got confused because I don't think an african fat tailed gecko has those eyes (although, I don't have much experience with them). So then, I proceeded to try and find if there were any other leopard gecko look alike species and I came up with nothing that could match up to that picture. So I came here and wanted to know what you guys think

In my not even close to expert opinion, I say fat tail.

It's a very skinny, sickly looking gecko. Looks kind of like a striped fattail but I'm not sure. Whoever owns it, needs to get it off that substrate as soon as possible. Poor thing looks to be in bad shape. The tail is way too skinny and it's on a heat rock for god's sake! Horrible husbandry. *shakes head and closes page*

Looks like a dying fat tail to me

Thanks guys. And yeah, I feel really bad for the poor thing, but I have no idea how to contact the person. The guy on Y!A just used the pic as an example.

This is a stripe fat tail; they have a racer stripe from their head to tip of tail. This little juvenile needs to be on a slate tile (textured), and a few crevices and hides and ledges to climb. Take this guy to a reptile vet to make sure s/he is not impact, and for the love of Pete get this little guy fattened up. He is sickly looking and needs to have fat stored in the tail. small mealworms and 5 extra waxworms for the next 5 to 8 days to make him gain weight. they need daily feeding dust with calcium w/D3 2 to 3 times a week. Whoever owns this fella needs to be talked to.
