Morph ID for my new Juvenile?

I got this little guy (or girl) yesterday for free with an exo-terra cage and furnishings from someone I found on craigslist. I have since covered the sand with napkins and found out he had never supplied calcium or any sort of supplement. He was feeding him XL crickets, even though by my guess the gecko is just 3-4 months old (the PO got him for a christmas gift). I started him on calcium dusted crickets along with a small bowl of it in his cage.

I'm curious on what morph he may be. I've never owned a juvi so I don't know how their color change normally works (light to darker or darker to lighter). My other leo is a 2yr old female super hypo tangerine.

Since I took these pictures yesterday he has become VERY opaque and is close to shedding. I'm excited to see more vibrance!

Anyone got an educated guess??

Enclosure once I got him set up a bit better (he had only that small hide on the left before because the PO said if the big hide was in there you don't see him much - :roll: yeeeah, and I collected that driftwood on monday from the beach [yes I baked it thoroughly])

Looks like a hypo of sorts but don't take my word for it. I can be bad at guessing morphs. Yours does look a bit like my hypo girl... Beautiful gecko regardless.

I was kind of thinking hypo as well, but I didn't know if juveniles get darker or lighter. I feel like they get lighter some places and lose spots, while in other places they get darker/more spots.

How can you tell the sex at 4mo?

At four months old you won't be able to sex it. Wait untill about 8 months old and then you may be able to accurately sex it. Either way you have one gorgeous gecko. It also looks like it could use a little fattening up.
