Looks like a Super Hypo (Hypomelanistic) to me. This morph is characterized by few to no spotting on the majority of the body. Could have some Tangerine influence as well.

I'd get it off that substrate, whatever it is (repti-bark?). Any loose substrate poses a risk of a fatal medical condition called impaction, which is a serious medical condition indicated by a obstruction in the gecko's intestinal tract caused by the accidental ingestion of loose substrate. I'd switch to paper towel, newspaper, or slate tiles.

Beautiful gecko by the way!

Not that it matter but isn't it more of just a Hypo tangerine.Kinda spotty(if shes young they may fade out though). In other matters I and the other members of this forum generally agree that loose substrate such as wood chips, sand, and bark can be very detrimental to the health of your gecko, ingestion may cause(in the case of wood, Will) impaction which can be fatal without surgery. I advise switching to slate tile, news paper or reptile carpet for the safety of your animal.

Hi thanks for your comments, as Ive said before I am new to this and am willing to learn. As a result of the advice I am going to replace the loose substrate for a carpet type to minimise any chance of damaging the geckos.

Thanks for the help.
