What morph is my gecko?

So I got myself my first gecko from the local petstore. He/she doesn't look all that normal to me compared to what else was in the cage and I am wondering if he/she is maybe a high yellow instead of just a regular normal.

Nothing has really changed since I got he/she besides a bit of purple fading. Will he/she maybe get anymore spotting besides what is already there?

Looks like a hypo tang to me and should be losing a few more spots before it's full grown. Very nice looking gecko :)

Really, i picked a hypo tang out of a pet store bunch?? :O

And he/she will lose the spots? Do you think some will remain on the head...and if he/she is a tang will the tail go more orangey?

It looks big enough to be about fully grown now. I think you're right that it's a high yellow normal. It might have wound up at the petstore because it's "imperfect" by breeder's coloration standards, though it looks gorgeous to me.

Judging by the smaller size of the geckos rear legs, his "thighs" if you will, the smaller size of his head, and the white band around the neck that usually fades with age, i'd say the gecko isn't yet full grown...but getting there. I'd agree that it's a high yellow, since it's body is more of a yellow color rather than orange. It's not a hypo since it has more than 5 or 10 spots on it's body. I'm not sure there is such a thing as a hypo hi yellow. I'm pretty sure they're just called hi yellows and they all have various degrees of solid color or spots. Anyway, your gecko is quite the looker! :)

looks like a very nice hypo high yellow. Some of the chain pet stores by me sell shtct, m. pattys, and sometimes various albinos. never top quality but still look very nice.

Well thanks guys! I am guessing he for sure is a high-yellow then by what most of you said.

Would you say he is a nice one compared to others? :) And yea, there is no way he/she is full grown..I am still not even sure on the sex yet and he/she is rather small.
