Tripod...what morph?

[WulfSC]

I just got this little fella today. I'm not sure of the sex, considering it's only 4grams. The guy I got it from just completely neglected the little guy. If you look at the pics, you'll see that its left rear foot (from knee down) is missing. Due to the fact, I named him Tripod.

Tripod was in a cardboard box, with sand as a substrate and one hide which was also made of cardboard. Also, there was no heater, or heat source of any kind. A neighbor told me about this guy, so I went over to look at his "new" leopard gecko. This is what I found... I told him, if he didn't give me the gecko, that I was gonna call animal control and report him. Lucky for me, I have a friend on the force. He's a client of mine, and I've done lots of tattoo work for him. So, lucky for Tripod, and me... I was victorious.

Anyway, here's some pics. And, since I have NO info on genetics, do you guys/girls know what morph this is? And, if you had to guess, how old do you think he/she might be? I'm not sure if it's too early to really tell or not. Thanks in advance...

poor little baby! glad you got him/her and looks like a beautiful little mack snow honestly. did the dumb@$$ that you got it from say how it lost its leg?

No, he didn't. But, honestly, I was pretty pi$$3d off with the guy when I saw the state this poor creature was in. So, I probably didn't ask all the questions that I should have. The guys was in his late 20's, and I wanted to punch him so bad. It might have been different if it was a young kid that bought the Leo on impulse (which I still don't condone), but this guy is old enough that he should know better.

I've seen other geckos that have lost toes, etc. due to dry shed... but, honestly, I don't know how Tripod lost his foot. It's just sad, really. But, good for him, it doesn't slow him down. And, (s)he appears healthy, otherwise. I'm gonna take him/her to the vet on Friday. Just to get him checked out...and then I'll keep a close eye on him for now on.

Oh, and I was thinking Mack Snow as well. Thanks.

good save man, before my daughter was born 95 percent of the boid's and the ig were all either from rescue's, or found on craigslist or the newspaper in surpisingly bad shape. found a burm with "a slight respritory infection" on cl for 150 and the dude was surprised he still had it after a week so he took the 50 i offered. 4 days later after a 400+ vet bill and 3 injections he still passed away, that slight infection was actually on the verge of death infection. and he gave this guy up to breed retic's. same story though, in his late 20's early 30's. it's always good to see when someone finds an animal and get's it out of the hands of some of these people with no respect for another living thing.

Poor little one! It's hard to say what it is since it is malnourished and neglected. Once it has been on proper heat and gets a few good meals, it may color up. At this point, it could be a Mack Snow or just about anything. Post another pic in a few weeks.
