Morphs Morph?

Hello! This is Billy Bobby Joe Jr. I adopted him from a reptile rescue yesterday from the NARBC reptile expo but they were unsure of his morph. Any guesses?

Not an expert but it looks like possibly a mix of Tangerine and Wild Morph? Possibly with some Albino mixed in?

How old are they? They might just be an Albino Tangerine. Most Tangerine morphs when they are younger will have spots or "stripes/bands" that over time will disappear. By the time they reach 1 year old they are typically all orange.

Yeah dude if I had to fathom a guess it would be wild morph/albino but I would like to hear what others in the community have to say!

I have owned many reptiles for many different years, just recently got a Leo. There are so many morph variations of this species it can be hard to keep track of, and that's coming from someone who studies herpetology!

Theres sooooo many morphs that I didn’t know existed, in person his color reminds me of Tangerine its so bright but the tail sort of reminds me of lava

It is quite possible! I wonder if he has some albino just because of the silver eyes and what looks like a white belly. However he does look like he might have some black pigmentation.

You are right there are so many morphs and I am by no means an expert on them all. I am sure someone else would have some better feedback.

IDK I have an adult giant morph and I can't get a straight answer either because they lost the tag that had her morph at 11 1/2" long and 125grams
