I wanted to post some more pictures because I'm having a little bit of a problem.
I'm not sure on his species, Like I know for sure that he's a Leopard Gecko
but not what kind..
I thought for a while that he was an Albino Snow Leopard Gecko but now I'm a little not so sure..
I'v been watching some videos from personal breeders and such, and one of the breeders had a clutch that was super high tangerine mac snow's that looked a lot like Ghost

Ghost and his siblings are about 4 months old now
What do you guys think?

What a cute little guy! Is he old enough to know his gender for sure? I have a little one of my own (a super hypo tangerine carrot tail) and it was torture waiting for him to grow up enough to tell! His name is Dexter, and he looks pretty similar to Ghost, but with only one or two head spots and darker tail spots.

According to this guide, Ghost looks to perhaps be a sunglow (hybino).
If you want a sure answer, I'd try registering on the Geckos Unlimited forums and posting a picture in their leo Morph ID thread. There's plenty of experts there who can help you out, and it's really a great forum to get advice/ideas on care and stuff too. I used it to do all my research before purchasing my little one. ^-^

Also, you may already know this, but all leos are of the species Eublepharis macularius (other than rarer subspecies which aren't common in the pet trade). The color variations are usually referred to as morphs, and they're just that - different genetics within the same species leading to different coloration.
Woo, science!
Woo, science!
Yeah, he's old enough, everything down their shows really well, haha
Yeah, I saw that! Dexter is soo cute.
I'd say a Sunglow or maybe a Tangerine, because I know his siblings (when I first got him) looked a lot like these dudes: http://www.paulsagereptiles.com/ima.....hs/SHTCTB3.jpg Even the newer ones I saw at the pet store looked like that
The only thing that was different about him to the others is he had no dark spots on him at all, he was a tiny thing too
I'll probably do that, I like being sure on that, haha
Oh wow, I knew a little bit of that, but not all of that

Thanks! I just added a new pic of Dex, I really need to get a full-body one of him. He's so huge now compared to the old picture!
I can't tell too well from these pics, but if there's no black pigment on his tail, only brown, then he definitely has some sort of albino in him and is likely a sunglow (which can have tangerine siblings still). But if he has any black on him anywhere, then he's probably a super hypo tangerine. Super hypo just means there are no spots on the body. :3
Baby gecks are SOO

aw DANG I wasn't ready to send that yet
ANYWAY
Baby gecks are SOO tiny ahhh. Especially the ones at pet shops, at least in my experience. They always seem kind of thin and frail... I was originally going to get my bab at a shop down the street but all the babies they had looked so unhealthy that I was afraid they wouldn't make it longer than a day. The employees got a talking to from me. I hate bad animal care in pet stores. :c
I love reptiles so much. I really want to get a ball python but my dad refuses to have a snake in his house, so that will have to wait till I have my own place~

Awww, he's so cute
He has only white and brown on his tail, and orange coloring around the base of it. I'd say the darkest spot on him would be his head markings, which were non-existent when I first got him. He's got pretty sandy brown eyes too.
Yeah probably, and, oh my gosh, I know! When I got him, he was like the size of my middle finger. He was second smallest compared to his other four siblings. And he was sleeping. He's so quiet too, one of his brothers was screaming when the pet store employee moved him to get Ghost. Ghost did't care at all, as long as he got to sleep in his box they gave me
Oh gosh, Ghost clutch was tiny, all of them were pretty skinny, though not too unhealthy looking, thank god. It seems common sadly, that that happens. I go back to the pet shop and go see his siblings once in a while (mostly to restock his mealies) and even my mum has commented that Ghost looks a lot healthier than his siblings, and how he used to look
Haha, my grandma is terrified of reptiles, but I really like them. Specially since they are one of the types of animals that I'm not allergic too
And good idea haha

The light eyes are a huge pointer toward some sort of albino. So my final guess would be a sunglow, which again is a super hypo combined with an albino.
When I got Dexter, he was the only one who /wasn't/ sleeping, hehe. He was right up by the glass cruising around, and he put up a fight of tiny fury when the pet store lady picked him up to put him in the cup he came home in. When I picked him up at home to put him in his tank, he made one tiny screech and that's the only time he's ever made a noise. x3
He's super chill now though!
Aw man, sorry to hear about your allergies. :C I'm lucky enough not to be allergic to most animals. Cats make me sneeze and get all itchy but I'll totally cuddle them anyway and then complain, haha.

Yeah, and I would say so too
Haha, I have actually never heard Ghost screech. He's so calm..
We got Ghost around 8pm, and before that, we went to dinner and then we stepped over to the pet shop and were just looking around bored, and I saw him. He was gorgeous.
Yeah, I'v had a lot of different kinda of animals around me, and any of them that had hair, I had allergies around. So I thought I'd take another approach. Also, fish never work out.
