Mystery Gecko

I recently acquired a leopard gecko and am unsure of what kind of morph she is. The people I acquired her from did not keep her in good health. They said she was a banded sunglow but I haven’t had much luck finding a morph with that description. I know it can be difficult to say what kind she is without knowing the parents. She is not very healthy (the thin tail and faded pattern.) I have a vet appointment on Thursday for her. I’m not very familiar with Leo morphs so I could use some assistant in identifying her. Thanks all and keep your fingers crossed the vet goes well.

Looks to me like a SHTCH (Super Hypo Tangerine Carrot Head).
but I'm not 100% sure. She's beautiful though

Daniel, I think the gecko is a sunglow. Carrothead is an ambiguous "morph" that really only describes hatchlings, adults rarely keep the red head.

That gecko is closing its eyes in bright light, which is a dead giveaway for albinism in leopard geckos. Albinos have sensitive eyes. The gecko is a super hypo... I'll leave the tangerine part out of it until you fatten her up and she gets her normal color back. Sickly geckos tend to either go dark or get pale. With proper feeding I think she'll be back up to speed in no time, just be sure to keep a bottlecap filled with calcium powder in the cage at all times so she can lap it up when she needs it.
