Need Confirmation On Morph

My leo Autumn (pictured in my avatar), passed away last week. It was totally unexpected, but I'm thinking it was due to stress from her tail loss that could have shocked her system. I was heartbroken, and the following day my fiance picked up this little guy/girl for me.

Now I'm no expert on morphs by any means, but I'm supposing this is an aberrant patterned hypo tangerine? Or is it just a normal yellow hypo?
She's really young at 4 grams, so it's hard to tell what she really will turn out to be yet, but I know there's some expert breeders on this site that may be able to tell a lot sooner.

She's kind of young yet to tell, but I say sh'e an aberrant (stripe?) hypo, and may develp more orange coloration as she grows. Sweet little thing...

I second that! :main_no:

Aww, but she's just a baby ;) the little ones tend to all look like that.

I'm no expert on morph guessing, especially since the abberants/hypos/tangerines are capable of such change as they grow. Good luck with the new little one!

Yeah, she is a little teeny, skinny little thing, but I'm guessing thats because she's 2 weeks old or less. You wouldn't think such a tiny thing would eat so much though, she just downed 8 small mealworms!!
In just one day I've noticed her body getting bigger, and her tail ever so SLIGHTLY getting a wee bit bigger as well. :D

Here's how tiny she is, only 4 grams!!!

Forgot to add, my fiance originally named her or him "Sigur Ros" after his favorite music band from Iceland. I've decided to change her name to Pocahontas. Tomorrow I'll be getting a SHTCT Baldy from Frank's Geckos and I've already got his name picked, it's going to be Columbus, seeing I'm getting him tomorrow, the day after Columbus day. I have this pioneer name thing going on, I don't know what it is ;) I'll post pics of him when I get him tomorrow.

And here's some clearer pictures of her, since my camera's batteries were running out, the first top pics were blurry.

Ooooh! I hope she super hypo's out!! That would be excellent. Even if she doesn't, I'll love her just the same. ;)

Ok, in the first pics she looked to skinny even for a baby leo to me ;) , but sound's like she's on a good way. :)

She's getting more plump by the day (maybe even by the hour!).
I took these pics tonight during feeding time. The tail is filling great compared to how skinny it was 4 days ago.
