Yes you can have a gecko with a carrot tail and be of 'normal' colouration (ie yellow and black spots). However, if there are just a few spots of orange on the tail, it can't be called a 'carrot tail' as there needs to be more orange present. The amount varies between owners but it think at least 15% of the tail needs to be orange.

And the one with brown spots is also normal :) so there's no need to worry. You can also get albinos which have brown spots. Could your leo be an ablino?
