New and updated gecko pics. A few people have said w/y, jungle, normal, tangerine, baldy, hypo..... just looking for more advice and opinions! I included eye photos as well.
Also, these gecks are about 4.5-5 months old (I'm the 3rd owner and previous wasn't sure age but had them for 2 months and the first owner the same), as these babes are housed together, I really need to know if I'm dealing with opposite sexes, or two males. I'm new to geckos, but from all the obsessive reading I'm doing, I'm thinking I might have 2 males... I feel like I see pores but not sure. Let me know what you guys think! Thanks for the help!

Gecko #1 (Dots for now)

Also, is it just me or does anyone else feel bad for displaying their geckos junk all over the internet? :D

Thanks Again!

I'm not in anyway knowledgeable about Morphs, but I'm 99% sure that they are females. There aren't any bulges right before their tails, and that would be the easiest way to spot males. But if they are really that age, I'm not sure if there would be bulges yet or not. I know my male is tiny, so I assumed young, but his are clearly visible.

Hope this helps a little. :)

They're definitely too young to sex reliably.

You could call the first one aberrant(irregular pattern, but not jungle because the tail bands are intact) and it looks like it could be tangerine. Too early to tell about spotting. If it developes reduced spotting, than you can call it hypo tangerine and if it develops no spotting, you can call it a super hypo tangerine. It has spots on its head, so it isn't baldy.

The second one looks to be normal/possibly tangerine or high yellow. It is already developing some spotting, so you'll have to see how much spotting it gets.

The babies change so drastically as they grow up that you'll have to wait and see how they develop. =) Genetically, they are normals with some polygenic traits and unknown hets.

I agree that they're probably too young to sex yet. Just keep an eye on them.

I think they look like some type of tangerine, too. You'll be able to tell more as they age, but I would say some type of tang influence on both.
