Local gal wants to sell this leo. She's had it 2-3 weeks. Says it's about 6-7 inches long. She describes it as "white." It looks tangerine to me. Any idea what it is and what it might be worth?

It's a albino patternless as to price your best bet is look at kingsnake.com classifieds in (leopard geckos) to give you a rough idea .

Thanks, Gazz. I thought "albino" too. But do you see that small black spot on its tail? Is that what passes for "albino" in the gecko world?

It's not just a standed albino it's a (albino patternless) that's why there are no spots on the tail .

I think it is just a nice patternless. The eyes look way to dark for it to be albino. They eyes should be light silver with red veins.

Yes, This is patternless because albino have other eyes and tangerines are orange on body and not have spots on legs.

Looks like a high yellow blizzard lizard to me, could be patternless but the blue over the eyes, and the dark purple/blue spot on the tail are well known amongst blizzards.

That spot on the tail looks to be just substrate from the hides, not a mark on the tail.

I agree it's a Patternless, non albino and not a blizzard. You can see the faint pattern that a patternless has as a baby on it's back

As far as the spot being substrate, that sure as hell doesn't look like blue sand on his tail to me, so there goes that for a reason. Also, I have seen many blizzards with the blue spots that look exactly like that, usually on the tail, sometimes near the limbs.

As far as pattern on body/back, I don't see anything at all resembling the pattern on young "patternless" animals, maybe you might have a point with regards to the rectangle looking shape on top of the head, but the picture is definitely not good enough to tell either way.

Lastly, the best evidence I can see that you could argue in favor of being patternless is the amount of orange at the base of the tail, and on the back. Hard to tell if it's the camera or not creating that color, but orange that color doesn't occur on blizzards normally, so who knows you could be correct.

I was thinking that spot was loose substrate from a moist hide not the sand. The picture isn't all that great to see it or the marking on the back but they are there and faint.
