Purchased him at pet-smart as a 'fancy' variety (the employees are not knowledgeable on what his morph is etc)

Is he a citrus tiger?

Features:
Leatherback
Orange ear vents
Dark nails
Yellow-y head (head is more yellow and brighter than the rest of his body)
Orange 'circles' on his back
Black 'stripes' on his back

I enhanced/edited the pictures to match his colours in real life since the camera washed it out a bit

Omg thanks guys!
When I went to go get him, I had no knowledge about beardies. He was like an impulse purchase, to be honest
But yeah, I didn't know about colours and morphs so I just chose the liveliest one, and he was it!

funny, i was just in Petsmart a couple of days ago, and noticed they had one baby beardie by itself in a tank labeled "fancy" bearded dragon. i too asked what was "fancy"? they did not know! i couldn't see the baby, just his head, so have no idea- but thought it was funny the employee i asked said she really didn't know anything about bearded dragons.
yours is very very nice, though! i wouldn't worry too much about what specific morph it is, those are just words, anyway :)

I know he's a leather back, I wanted to know "what" he is
Like how there are citrus tigers, sand fires..etc

There is no way to know what morph he is without knowing his parents bloodlines. A "fancy" dragon is simply one that has some color or some other trait that makes them look prettier then a plain grey one.
I would call yours a orange leatherback.

Our PetSmart will have "fancy" beardies, as well. The main thing I notice about them is thus far, they have all been leather backs, and to varying degrees, more colorful than normal.

The petsmart I went to had leatherbacks and regulars in the "fancy" cage. To be honest the dragons in fancy side and non fancy side look exactly the same to me

Those colors are simply terms coined by individual breeders. When you talk about morph you're talking about whether it's a silky, lb, reduced, hypo, etc. It's impossible to know the color name without knowing its genealogy

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
