Help me ID my leopard gecko’s morphs

This is Jalapeño, we got him in November and he’s grown quite a bit. We were thinking of maybe breeding him a few years down the line, and we’re 100% sure he’s a hypo, be we were wondering if there were any other morphs you guys could identify.

Hello!
Jalapeno looks like a healthy little cutie. He would qualify as a super hypo in my opinion.
If this was 15-20 years ago I’d say he was tangerine, but now this color is more of a pet quality tangerine. The breeder quality just far surpasses this now.

I’m not one to breed animals with unknown genetics and I don’t recommend it. He could be carrying unknown hets for albino and there’s 3 incompatible lines of it in leopard geckos.
If you still want to go through with it, breeding for color or pattern would be best. Or if you do want to work with a recessive down the line, work with Murphy’s Patternless or Blizzard. I would avoid albino.

He is sooooo sweet! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I will say, that picture definitely dulls his colors, he’s much yellower in person and the base of his tail is pretty orange. Thanks for the reply! This was super helpful.
