We reciently bought a young leopard gecko from our local Petco. We are thinking of getting a playmate but dont know what type of leopard and its sex. Please help.

Welcome to Geckos Unlimited to you and your new leopard gecko!
I would advise against getting another one, unless you have another tank. They really aren't a social species and don't need "playmates." Also if they both turn out to be male and are sharing the same tank, they will fight (often to the death) over territory.
Here's Elizabeth's (one of the Moderators on here) care sheet for leopard geckos. It's in my opinion the best out there.

Good luck with your new little friend!!

Hello BareElva ~

A hearty welcome to Geckos Unlimited! Enjoy the ride.

If you scroll down in the care sheet Kelly has linked to subsequent posts I've added, you will find some morph calculators. Pehaps someone else on GU could assist?

Yea, i was just looking at one of the links on the care sheet and the closet i can come to is a "tremper hybino" but if im wrong please let us know. But what ever 5he little fella is we love him all the same

Not a hybino...hybino is a hypo albino. That is not an albino. Very pretty gecko. Look @ hypomelanistic on whatever morph guide you are using. With some morphs you have to wait and see how the bands break up to be 100% sure, if you don't know the genetics. I'm going hypo on this one!! Just my 2 cents....Good luck!!
