Hello. I bought this leo a few months back. He was 20$ and an unknown morph. I looked around and thought he was possibly a SHTCT. Then i found more pics and though maybe sunglow or hybino....Now i was wondering if he is a SHTCT. Now correct me if im wrong but u heard crossing a tremper albino with a SHTCT makes a sunglow....true? He bred with my tremper albino female and i really want to know if they could make a sunglow. Even if not i would still love to know his morph. Here is his pic-

Also he has since lost the little purple spots and is a little darker with more faded striping. Thank you.

From my limited knowledge, I would say the best way to tell is by the eye. Now if the eye is the one in your avatar, then I would say yeah, its a sunglow. A nice one at that. And for $20? Nice grab. But if that eye pic in your avatar doesn't belong to this particular gecko, could we get an eye pic?

Also, if he isn't an albino, since you crossed them with a tremper, then yes, you should have some sunglow babies.

Actually, now that I think about it, even if he is an albino, you should get sunglow babies...(anyone else?)

Judging by the lack of BLACK pigment.. that's a (tremper?)albino.

Mating a tremper to it will give you tangerine trempers with a hypo influence, but not completely hypo animals necessarily.

To be honest it doesn't look like either a sunglow/hybino....... It looks to me like a super hypo tangerine carrot tail baldy, but then again it could just be a normal Super Hypo.

Good buy for $20 dollars though :D

id have to agree with paul the tail makes it look like its got albino in it to me. altho the eyes would be the biggest giveaway.

I'm thinking albino since there is no black pigment. An eye conformation would help a lot.

I have a brother with brown hair and one who's blonde, but we are all brothers ;)

They are both tremper albinos with different genetics, but still tremper albinos.

I would say the darker one looks more like a tang albino (which is why it's darker) and the other one looks like a regular albino.

Also, I'm confused about why the person with the original question is different from the person posting the eye shots.
