Looks like a nice find if she is healthy, she is pretty. You can occassionally find nice animals there, though they often need vet care, and infections sometimes aren't apparent for months. Be sure to quarantine her for at least 3 months and if I were you I would get a fecal done right away. If you find anything within 15 days you can get Petco to cover the vet bills.

I think she is to young to say for sure. What does she weigh? I got a leo at petco once that was bright dark orange like yours and when it grew up it was a reduced spotting golden yellow, not a tang, and not very brightly colored. So don't be too disappointed if that happens to yours. However another I bought at the same time, that was not as orange when young, turned out to be a het albino superhypo tang w/ about 15-20% carrottail, so you never know. If it keeps that color it will be a tang, if it doesn't it could be a normal, golden or...just wait and see. Also, wait and see what happens with the spots, it could go hypo ...or not. But since you probably only paid $30 I'd guess it may be a worthwhile gamble. Do get a fecal, and do quarantine.
