What morph is my Leopard Gecko?

sorazme Jan 27, 2010 03:39 PM

I'm trying to figure out what morph my Leopard Gecko is. She's 15 months old and I've seen many morphs, but I don't want to call it something its not. It was sold to me as a Hi Yellow from someone who guessed. If you need more information to make a clear answer I can give it or if you want a pic of a certain part just message.

Looks like you've got a Super Hypo Tangerine Carrot Tail. You'll often see just SHTCT or SHTCTB (B for Baldy meaning NO black pigmentation on top of the head.)

She was sold to me as a Hi Yellow, but they said it was only a guess. I bought him for $20, so was that a good deal???

Don't think it's a super hypo, (can't have spots on torso). I think, and I can be wrong, in order to be considered a hypo the torso can't have more than 12 spots.

Hi Yellows, SHTCT and SHTCTB's are fairly common. And $20 isn't a bad deal, depending on a lot of things (like the gecko's health.)
