from the pic I really cant tell. It could easilly be a tremper or rainwater. Possable even a bell. If you could get a good eye pic that would help alot. Lets see what others say

Thing is it doesn't really matter what morph they are when they are in that shape, The ONLY ONE that looks halfway decent is the left of the top pic, a normal tang, well under weight at best, the others are middle of photo very thin and left of photo showing bones on body and head.
They all need vet care very soon and should not be sold and who cares what morph they are until they are of good health.
Post #6 who knows, that albino is so thin and appears to be under a poor heat set up that it would be impossible to know what strain it is.
Get proper vet care, fecals and proper weight and housing on the leos then ask again.
If you need help PLEASE ask, eveyone is here to help you!

Well the Albino male is mine, the one in the first post, arent mine, he has picked up weight, he really is a working progress, he was very thin when I rescued him!
As of now, his set up is a 20L tank, with reptile carpet,humid hide,Leo Calcium Bowl,Water Dish, and Hide, with UTH, and an extra over head light, that makes the tank a little warmer, so their basking side is 90, and their cooler side is in the mid80s.
I purched wax worms,giant meal worms,large crickets,pheniox worms,small pinkies ( I have them always on hand for the Corn's) Anyway.. I was thinking about making the slurry for him, the female I got with him is in very nice shape, I will take a picture of her tonight and let everyone see, I've had him for about 2 months, and have had a terrible time getting weight on him, he has seen the vet, was Medium Dehydrated and thin, but didnt seem to be anything terribly wrong with him. Does anyone else have suggestions on how to put weight on him? The former owner of 2 years had these two on sand in a 10 gallon tank And gave them wax worms in a bowl. Now, he will not eat out of a bowl at ALL, I tweezer feed him.. The Normal female, eats off of a tweezer but eats ANYthing you put in front of her, Pinkies/Waxworms/Pheniox worms/Crickets/Meal Worms.. I weigh him on a weekly schedule.. He has picked up about 4 or 5 grams, however I do know thats not enough.. Please if anyone has suggestions as to what to feed/make/change in his enviorment, I'm all ears!
~Thank You!

My normal girl... How does everyone think she looks? I thought she was a bit on the chubby side, so I cut her down to min. Wax worms, and added the amount of crickets.

Your normal looks alright, although I wouldn't call her chubby yet. You could probably let her eat as much as she wants. As for putting weight on the male...
Do you have them housed together? I got a little confused in the housing explanation. A lot of times if a male is near a female they'll lose interest in food.

There in different tanks, same room, is that the problem maybe? Once he gains his appitite back, do you think he can be placed back with her? ( the former owner has has them together for almost 2 years now!
Thanks!
Thanks!

Since you have had him checked by the vet here are my suggestions:
The UTH needs to be 90-92 and the overhead light may be causing issues, is it red, blue or a regular bulb? They need belly heat not overhead heat. But a low watt blue or red is OK for viewing.
Once a leo has been on waxies for a long period of time it is hard to get them back on a good diet, just keep trying what you are trying with the varied diet and give him some time to get back to the good foods.
Put a dish of mealies or smaller supers in at all times (put a little calcium on them too), they eat at night so that will give him food while you may not be there or up to feed him by hand. Normally they will start eating when you leave a dish in all the time. Then you can throw in some crix a couple of times a week around dusk and just make sure he eats them before you go to bed, if he doesn't you will need to get them out.
You may also want to put in 2 humid hides and 2 cool hides since you have the space in the 20L.
