did you get it at one of the "frowned apon" pet stores.
Because the tail is looking thin from the pictures, it could well be a blizzard, however the darkness would probably be an indicator of non healthy temps (i.e too cold)
Do you know roughly how old it should be + a weight.

Keep temps up nice and high on the hot side 90-92...and a nice healthy feeders, dusted..
Good luck.

Sounds all good then, i would say a blizzard but keep those temps up, other then that you've got yourself a blizzard there is no such genetic thing as a "midnight blizzard" its really all about temperatures (incubation & such & such)

it's a patternless. $60 that's a bit expensive but he looks healthy and i like to support the small mom and pops stores:)

I wasn't trying to put down the local stores, I find they are far the best around here.
I have seen blizzards that dark and still have yellow (such as my imput as of what the morph was), The pet shop was very shoddy and was reported to the RSPCA later that month.

No offence was meant :D

is one side of the take warm (90's) and the other side in the 70's?

if she is kept correctly, you feed her right with the correct vitamins and calcium. she will be terrific. she may never lighten up or she may, it all depends on how she is kept and her :)

so im confused is it a patternless.?
the store i got it from had lighting and everything and a couple other leopard geckos but they were all older but very healthy looking and fat. and i dont think its was too cold for the color to be like that. i looked up patternless on google and i cant find anything like mine
but just this one.

patternless can come in many shades of cream and yellow, dark and light. some patternless can look like blizzards and vice versa. i believe it is a patternless and if it was kept well at the pet store and you keep her well, she should keep this color

the left side is warm and the right is cool the water bowl is on the cool side and theres and hide on each side and a moisture hide a well makes its like three hinding places and i mist the moisture box with luke warm water every morning and same with the change of water. and of course no sand i got leopard gecko non chemical dirt and its in a 20 gallon tank

Patternless.

My Yasser is a patternless and he was nearly that dark when I got him.
He had been kept without correct temps and belly heat for 9 months
