Morph of Adoptable Gecko?

So I was looking for geckos for adoption in my area, and I found this one down in Maryland. I can't afford another gecko right now so don't plan on adopting him unless maybe he's there later when I have more money, then maybe, but I still can't get over how beautiful he is. I saw older pictures of him and he came in very burnt, so I don't know if that affected his pattern or that's just how it is naturally. Any ideas on morph? Or is all the white healed burns? I'm just very curious.

Sasobek has some geckos that have some similar patterning but are marble eyed geckos. Im not too sure on the burnt possibility, though. Ive never seen a gecko thats been burnt. :p

Looks like scar tissue.

Okay, thanks. I suspected as much, since I've never seen a gecko with white like that. Any ideas on what his morph actually is then?

For reference, here are older pictures (or I assume they're older - they don't explicitly say so, but I doubt he went to the rescue and then acquired the burns): http://lunashouse.org/images/reptiles/cedric2.jpg

Oh my god, the poor thing! I've heard of belly burns but how'd he get it on his back?? I agree the white is probably scaring. As for the morph I'd probably just say patternless, but it's so hard to tell from the old picture. He looks like rubber in it

I know, right? I so wish I could take him. My guess would probably be some kind of uncontrolled overhead heat. Like someone put a way too strong light or CHE on him and didn't give him anywhere to hide from it.

His eyes look albino. My sunglow male has white scar tissue in a couple places where he healed from bites from females while breeding that look kind of similarly white and smooth - but nothing even remotely that extensive! Poor guy! Amazing that he healed from such extensive burns though!

I'd take him in a heart beat if I were local. What part of Pennsylvania? My sister lives in Harrisburg.

He's in Edgewood, Maryland, just a bit south of the border. I'm all the way up near the NY border and it's 4 hours for me, so it's probably not too terribly far from Harrisburg.
