I need help determining the morph and age of my Leo.

These are the only pictures I have on her on my computer. Excuse the blurriness of the first picture, the camera used to take it wouldn't focus for some odd reason.

I just got her from one of the better Petcos, but I wasn't provided with what age she was and had to determine her gender on my own. I still need to figure out what morph she is. To be honest, I'm leaning towards either Mack Snow or High Yellow Carrot Tail, but I'm no expert.

As for help determining the age, she is about 15 cm (a little less than 6 in.) long.

This looks JUST LIKE MY LEO!!! So cool! My leo is Sunstar and I'll give you a quick pic. I don't know what morph, but I know at least that they aren't albino or full colors. E.jpg

Wow, the similarities are uncanny! Sunstar is adorable, I bet she (i'm guessing Sunstar is female, correct me if i'm wrong) and my Leo; her name is Faryn; would be good pals!

Welcome to GU! Carrot tails have solid orange tails from the base to at least 30% of the tail, which I don't see in your picture. Mack snows start out black and white and yellow up as they mature. If you didn't have yours as a hatchling where you could see the black and white, there's no way to know now whether or not it's a Mack snow since it seems to have yellowed up. At the least, I'd say you could call her a high yellow, meaning a normal leopard gecko with less spotting so the yellow shows up more (10 or fewer body spots would make her a hypo). She's very cute. I have no idea how old she is. Once they get their adult pattern, they could honestly be any age.

Thanks! From what you said, she may just be a Mack Snow or a High Yellow. One of the reasons I thought she was a High Yellow Carrot Tail was actually because I could see some orange scales at the base of her tail that just appeared recently. Faryn is about to shed now, so we'll see what her pattern will be next when she does.

Welp. I'm pretty sure she's a Mack Snow. When I got her, there were High Yellow juveniles and she was the only gray and white leo I saw. And her yellow has been fading away lately.
