Can anyone help identify these morphs?

[tylerray1132]

I have two female leopard geckos. I believe they're both albinos(unsure of which line) and I know they're hypo s due to the lack of spots. But any other morph possibilities? One is yellowish where the other is a more lavender color.

They do both look albino. I think the second picture is a bit washed out and may not represent the colors accurately. There's really no way to know what strain albino they are which is a good reason not to breed them.

If I was to breed them together and get albino then they would be the same strain so I could at least figure out if they're from the same strain of albinism. And really any breeding I do is more for myself I think its cool and I have the ways to care for more leos so why not get a couple free ones and watch them grow up.

If you're planning to keep the offspring it's not problem. The problem is when you breed them together and you don't get albinos. Now you have geckos het for 2 albino strains and you don't know which ones. When these geckos breed it becomes really confusing, so if you're willing to keep offspring and not breed them if they're not albino, it's worth doing. Otherwise, it will just further muddy the gene pool.

Another question I would have would be how much should they cost? Being the strain of albinism isn't known, and no other morphs are known. That would bring the price down substantially would it not?

Yes but the offspring would be pets only and not viable for breeding either. It's best to breed when you know the exact genetics of the animals.

No one is likely to buy geckos from you that are het for two strains of albinos. You could probably sell them very cheap as pets, but there are so many leopard geckos circulating that you might have issues selling them. Why not just get geckos with known genetics if you want to breed? breeding costs money, buying the breeders is only part of it.
