Morph question

Ok so back in december I purchased 7 leopard geckos from a guy at a reptile show. The group was...
1.1 blizzard (Proven)
0.1 SHTCTB (Proven)
0.1 Normal (Proven)
0.1 Mack Snow
0.0.1 Jungle Tremper Albino
and 0.1 That he called a Tornado something or other. (Proven) I dont remember exactly what it was. But anyways I havent been able to find any info on a leo morph with Tornado in the name. Does one exist? She is a gorgeous orange color. (About the same shade of orange of a carrot tail) only its on her whole body. I am just curious about her morph.

Thank you for the link. I knew she was a gorgeous leo but I didnt know she was from a special line. Pretty good deal considering that I got her for $45.

It's hard to believe that someone would sell a real Tangerine Tornado for $45. I'd say it's more likely a Tang that was just labeled a Tornado.

I had already bought 4 of the leos at the previous show. He gave me the tangerine Tornado, female Blizzard and the SHTCT all for $140. We made an agreement that i would give him a good deal on my hatchling corns from this season, which I planned on anyways Because Im gonna have a couple hundred hatchlings from the corns alone to try and move.

I wouldnt believe that you got a true Tangerine Tornado for $45... Did you look at Urban geckos website? They sell them for $300-700 each. More than likely a nice SHT... sorry

Some breeders yes do sell Hypo tangs and try to pass them off as Tornados.they need to have the deep burnt orange colour to them for them to be true Tornados.IMO

I will put up pics as soon as I can. But anyways he isnt a breeder. Him and his girlfriend bought them to breed but they were always so busy with the snakes and crested geckos that they kept missing the leo eggs until they were dried up.
