You might want to take a fecal sample to the vet. Her tail looks very skinny, but her midsection doesn't (though it's an odd angle). If that's the case, though, that could be indicative of internal parasites, which could kill her if not treated.

She's still very young though. I've seen pictures of young leo. geckos and their tails are still plumping up. And how she was tilt on her water bowl flattened her stomach. She is very health. I just honestly wanted to know the morph, nothing else.

It's skinny even for a young leo. But it was just a suggestion to make sure your leo is healthy and will live a long life. So sue me.

Hello,
It looks like a Tremper since that is what you asked.
That said, it's tail does appear very skinny. You stated that it came from a pet store so it may not be as healthy as you think it appears. To be on the safe side you may want to have it checked out and a fecal sample done to rule out parasites. If that comes back negative then you can be sure that excellent care and good food will fatten it up and you will have a nice healthy gecko.
I have a couple of 3-4 month olds that are vet checked parasite free who go through growth spurts and have skinnier tails during that time, but none of them have ever gotten quite that skinny.
We take all of our geckos to the vet regardless of whether I think they "need" it for checkups just like we do all of our other pets. It will save you more money than it will cost in the long run.
Enjoy your new pet!
