Color Morphs

I'm a little new to Leos, I've had one big male for several months, but never had him as a juvie (someone gave him up due to lack of time), so I've got some questions about a juvie I just picked up.

I put him on Paper Towels with a moist hide box and a second hide. Water and such as well. He ate 5 small crickets yesterday, so i'm not too worried about him eating, and he shows great interest in eating. I got him from among a bunch of standard and albino leos, but I'm not sure what morph he might be, I'd never seen one like him before. Not that I've looked really hard yet. I was going to get an older albino, but the pattern called to me.

This is the new little guy

This is my older male

The little one is a patternless. He/she will loose that pattern as it gets older. go to different websites and you can see some pics of adults. You can also go to the classifieds on kingsnake.

Thanks

I did see patternless while I was looking around the last few days, but very few websites include a hatchling or juvie pic.

Its a very bright patternless, the spots fade as they mature and the body is usually a light yellow. Later
