#1 looks to be a Mack Snow, but it could be a Normal/High Yellow. The only way to know for sure was to see it as a hatchling, if it was white with black stripes it is a Mack Snow. The Albino looks like a Rainwater, maybe Tremper. I'm rusty at classifying Albinos so lets see what other people think.

The best way to beef him up is to consistently feed him, every day to every other, make sure he eats a decent amount of food. I wouldn't try fattening foods like wax worms, he could become addicted and not want anything else.

The second is for sure an albino gecko. Its very very dark, so i would say its patterning resembles that of a Bell, and the eyes of a Tremper, others will chime in soon and help more. The first could be a mack snow, but its hard to be certain whenever the pattern of it as a hatchling is unknown. Mack snows alone hatch out black&white, but develop yellow later, and resemble a normal, test breeding it to a mack snow would be the only true way to tell.

You would want to test breed it to a Normal, that way if it is Mack Snow you would get 50% Mack. If it was Normal you would get no Macks.

Either way work, breeding to a mack snow would produce 25% Super Snow, 50% mack snows, and 25% normals. It would still be a way to prove it, if you got a Super Snow. But your idea would be an easier way to tell.

Yeah, that would work too but as you said, breeding to a Normal would be easier to tell, with less confusion for the op.

Im on my phone so the pics are small but I see no albino?

Test breeding that mac should happen after it gains 30 grams lol.
