Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

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.
