Morph identification help?

[GeckoDoom]

I recently got two Leopard Geckos, age around 5-6 months old. They're small and quite thin for their age, especially the girl, but putting on weight right now and eating like crazy.

Male is the bigger, better looking one, female is thinner with white stripes.
Now, will anyone help me tell what morphs are those two?
Because they definitely don't look like Wild Types to me. Is the male a very good looking High Yellow?...
The stripes on female are in real snow white.
I'll be grateful for any help!

I think the fact that they are not in the best condition makes it pretty hard to guess morphs. It definitely looks to me like their colors are dulled due to poor health. They don't look terrible, but I think once they have a bit more meat on their bones their colors will be brighter.

My guesses right now, which won't be super reliable because of the dulled colors, is that the top one is possibly a mack snow and the bottom is a wild type/high yellow.

So my advice is to give them lots of food and good care and see how they change as they get into better health. =)

One more thing... Where did you get them from? If they came from a petstore, I might be worried the female might have something going on like parasites. She looks awfully thin and her tail has a look to it I don't like.

In any case, I would definitely recommend keeping them separate to provide the best, stress free environment to get healthier. Also if the female has something going on that the male doesn't, you wouldn't want her to transfer it to him.

That's what I thought about morphs, too, glad to see I still know something about them, haha. I'm more of a snake person, though.

They are separated, of course. Been from the very first day they arrived to me, though earlier they were being kept together. They're from the "mix" from a breeder, not from a store, actually.
Yes, I know the female is very thin because, according to the previous owner, she was hiding under the tank's decoration for 3 months, and he couldn't dig her out since she was behind the desert-decoration wall. She most likely didn't eat anything during that time.
I have seen them earlier though, as I know the owner. She was just fine before that 3 months event.
She looks much better than 4 days ago, though. And both are eating like crazy.

Glad to hear that she is recovering okay. =) Poor girl. Good luck with them.

Thank you I'm getting another two tomorrow from the same guy, so I hope you won't mind helping me out with telling their morphs as well, if I have any doubts!

 

[Neon Aurora]

We're always here for those questions, and we love pictures!

I do have to ask, though. If these guys are coming from a breeder, than why isn't he able to tell you their morphs?

 

[GeckoDoom]

No, no, they aren't coming DIRECTLY from a BREEDER.
They are coming from the dude I know - and he only buys and sells animals, various animals. The breeder I don't know personally. Neither do I have any contact with him. The geckos are being sold as "mix". Which I find pretty stupid and funny, because he sells Wild Types for the same price he sells Super Hypos, Tangerines, Baldys, etc... Talk about breeding animals you know nothing about color variations of...
I got - through my friend, like this time - a BEAUTIFUL SHTCT male with really gorgeous coloring, which he sold for the same price he sells Wild Types, hehehe. He isn't even from my country and the dude I got them from knows nothing about Leopard gecko morphs...

Here are the other two!
Female on top, male on bottom. I guess the male is Mack Snow, he's close to being totally only shades of black and white, with no colors ar all, but the light shade of purple, but the female?

I'm not the best with all the morphs especially seeing they change so much as they grow. The breeder sounds a bit shady though, all the breeders I've talked to and asked questions of have known the genetic history several generations back. Calling them a mix makes it sound as if he just threw a few pet quality geckos together to make some quick money. As long as you're not looking for good breeders they'll still make excellent pets.

I agree with Russ.

They both look like snows to me. That female also looks washed out due to malnutrition to me. The male looks pretty good though.

 

[GeckoDoom]

Ya, the breeder is pretty awful to me, too. And no, I'm not going to breed them anyways.
The female not only does look horribly thin, she also has such a lack of calcium, her bones are literally like WARM RUBBER. Stuffing her with extra calcium currently.
I'm going to breed, but not those. Once I find a bunch of really good looking Blizzards/ Blazing Blizzards or Stripes/ Bold Stripes/ Bandit, etc, - definitely NOT from this dude - I'll make a harem and breed them.

Thank you for helping me out with the morphs, guys!

I would also guess three snows and a normal (all unknown hets). These are just guesses based off the current pictures. Snows are pretty easy to ID when they are young because they hatch black and white. Once they get older, they often times look like a normal because they yellow out a lot.
