I'm new here, but not new to the hobby. I bred normals/high yellows for fun when I was in high school, but kept a couple different morphs. During and directly after college, I gave up my collection to travel and study. Now that I'm stable and have a well-paying job, I've started building back up my love of leos (as well as my collection). Turns out, a lot has developed in the leopard gecko community since I took a leave of absence around 2002. Thus, I am asking your help in IDing a couple of my geckos.

I believe this female is a super hypo but the brownish spots on her head make me think she is one of the 3 albinos?

Is this male hypo, too? The weird black spots down his back made me think he was enigma, perhaps, but I've never noticed any weird behavior as described on various websites.

What about this female? She was sold as super hypo. I bought her because she so closely matches my male in terms of color and pattern (she even has a couple odd black spots on her tail), I thought it was intriguing.

Lastly, when I first got back into the hobby, I was at a show, and somebody had a big bin of not great looking "albino" babies for like $12...so I took one home due to feeling sorry for it. It's a strange maroon color. Any idea on what type of albino or anything else she is?

Any help at all will be much appreciated! All of this is in attempt to not "muddy the waters" with weird mixes/random hets, etc. Thank you in advance!

This is kind of a tricky group to ID. Pictures of the eyes would help a LOT. The first one is a SHT but reminds me of an Enigma for some reason (maybe Bell Enigma). Because of the Paradox spots on the second and third I would say Blizzard. On the last one I'd say Bell.

Wow... interesting points. Thanks for the helpful reply, Melody! I'll do my best to get some pictures of their eyes up here soon.

I wasn't sure if those spots were the same thing as Paradox spots. I will have to research more about the Blizzard morph.

Anybody else want to weigh in?

I absolutely agree with Mel 100%. Eye shots would help a lot, and I would normally say the last two are patternless, but the paradox spots makes me think blizzard.

Welcome to GF, by the way.
