    morph or just light normal?

    I am planning on getting this seemingly female leopard gecko from a family friend. Unknown history, age and weight but seems to be a tad on the slender side her current enclosure has no heat and I feel bad for the poor girl...Anyways I took a quick crummy pic of her... she seems a tad brighter than a normal with lighter spots/ stripes. Could she be a hypo with some striping or will the stripes probably dissipate into little average spots when older?

    Yes, she is a morph. Leopard geckos have black spots on a high yellow base. Let me do some digging to double-check my thoughts and I'll repost here in a moment.

    Edit: What color/pattern are her eyes, by the way?

    Edit Edit:

    She's definitely reminding me of an Albino, since their patterns can vary. Tremper Albino or Rainwater Albino. But knowing the color of her eyes will definitely help.

    Re: morph or just light normal?

    Looks like a hybino (hypo albino) to me. I'm fairly new to leopard geckos so hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in. There's 3 types of albinos that i know of: bell, rainwater or las Vegas, and tremper. I've never seen a rainwater in person. Bells tend to be more pinkish and trempers tend to be more white and yellow. So I'm leaning toward a bell for that one. But please someone with more experience correct me.
    Come see what's new with us at https://www.facebook.com/BFEPetsandSupply

    Happy Herping!!!!
