what morph is my leopard gecko?

[abby]

I recently got a leopard gecko from a man who didn't want the gecko anymore, he said himself he didn't really look after it since he's into snakes.
The gecko is really skinny and small and I'm guessing it's a juvi but I can't really tell. She's yellow bodied with a white tail with black spots on it, and I just noticed faint grey bands across the body. I have no idea what morph it is, so if anybody recognises please help me, if you want I can take pics too

Ok I just found this pic which looks like my gecko - http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ28Qj-bEhPaKrTeg392-5JTQkFyzAtEEwdamehXCT_rIXlOJ2A5A&t=1
except mine is waaaaaaaaaaaay skinnier and without the orange pigmentation.

Probably a Hypo or Super Hypo, although I'd need an actual picture of the gecko to really tell.

(the white stuff is calcium - accidentally tipped over some whilst opening the seal of the tub)

poor baby. i'm thinking Super Hypo Tangerine Carrot Tail Baldy, or SHTCTB. I bet once you get it healthy, that orange will be very bright. keep us updated

I agree. It's not in too bad a shape; I've seen worse. You're right, it's still a juvie. Just fatten it up, and it should develop into a beautiful gecko with quite a bit of carrot tail! :main_yes:

im not an expert, so correct me if im wrong. i thought SHTCTB and super hypo had no black spots at all? :main_huh:

No black spots on the body makes it super hypo, and its a baldy because it has not spots on the head

I would say SHTB (Super Hypo Tangerine Baldy).

The Super Hypos have no spots on the body, while SHTCTBs have no spots on the body or head. The OPs gecko has no spots on the body or head, and has a Tangerine color, therefore making it a Super Hypo Tangerine Baldy. I don't think it has enough solid orange on the tail to be considered a Carrot Tail.

Noob question but can some SHTB exist without the carrot tail? All the pictures I've seen have a carrot tail.

I think the carrot tail will return once the color comes back.

Yeah, but their not that common. As Janece said, the Carrot Tail may come back as it gains color.
