Need ID on the morphs of my Leos
Here are two of my Leos, would appreciate any input on the morphs.
#1 Our first Leo (This was a X-mas present for my wife) I´m 99% sure it´s a normal though
#2 First one of our last two (This one I got for 14.02 )
Will post the 3rd one later, haven't taken a pic of it yet.

The first one is definitely a normal.
I don't know what the second one is, but whatever it is, I LOVE it. Holy smokes, its gorgeous! I'm super jealous!

Thanks Kathryn. I do love her colours! She's my baby, the other two are bigger (the normal being 2-3 y.o.)
Somebody suggested it could be Tremper Hybino. I should maybe take a pic of her eyes too? They don't look "standard".
Here's the third one. I though she was white, but apparently she was just getting ready for a shed (was last week).

The first is, like Kath said, a normal.
The second looks like a mid-stage SHTCTB, or super hypo tangerine carrot tail baldy.
The third is a blizzard.

Thanks
But..what means "mid-stage"? And what's the difference between a SHTCT and a SHTCTB?

Mid-stage as in the colors haven't finished changing. Also, the B is for baldy which means there's no spots on the head. In SHTCT, they have some spots on the top of the skull.

Thanks for clarifying what's a baldy

Your third one looks more like a Murphy Patternless than a blizzard, they can be very similar, possibly even another SHTCT.
The newest one is a Jungle Albino.

Re: Need ID on the morphs of my Leos
Is there a trait that distinguishes the 2 morphs (blizzard vs. murphy p.) at that size? I've heard it's easier to distinguish them as hatchlings.
Regarding the 3rd one, I guess it could be a Super Hypo, but aren't SHT's usually more orange? And I think there's no carroting in the tail base.

Blizzards are supposed to be white. Whilst they can possibly have a yellow tinge to them, its always clear that they are pinky white. And yes they are easier to tell apart at hatching.
SHT's can range from yellow to orange. Mind you the yellows ones are just Super Hypo's technically. But SHTCT is just used as more of a generic term nowadays.

Thanks Jordan!
So, if I decide to breed her once she grows enough. What morph male should I mate her with?
