What is this little guy??

So this little baby is our newest addition. We actually got him at Petsmart over the weekend during their Memorial Day sale (for $19.99). I know they don't have the best rep, but the stores around here are actually OK. Have employees that actually keep reptiles at home. LOL. Anyway, this little guy was one of their "fancy" leopard geckos. The girl working there took him out and let us look at him.. he was soo tiny but I had to have him when I saw him. She said that they had him almost a month, but he is a great eater. They gave him 4 crickets a day.

I think he's maybe around 3 1/2 inches long. I haven't weighed him yet, but I imagine he weighs very little. I think he's in shed? His head seems a little flaky, and it looks like maybe he has a sore on it? Other than that he seems very alert and healthy, He explored his 10 gallon after we placed him in there. He has pooped and this morning he ate 4 or 5 mealworms, as I'm waiting on my shipment of crickets/dubia.

So my main question is what is his morph? I thought he was a blizzard, that's why I wanted him so bad. But he has bright red eyes! I looked online and found that he looks like a Mack Snow Raptor or Diablo Blanco but him coming from Petsmart, I just thought that highly unlikely. What do you guys think?

He doesn't look the healthiest He looks pretty dehydrated, and thin.
Hopefully you can turn his health around! Hes lucky to have you lol.
About the morph...I don't know.

Yeah, my first priority is getting the little guy healthy. I'm going to try giving him some plain pedialyte through a syringe to rehydrate him. I've had one sickly skinny juvenile before, and was able to get her eating and fattened up, so when I saw this teeny little guy I wanted to try to help him if I could.

Looks like it might be a blizzard to me. I know I have seen them at the larger pet stores before.
