My First Ever Leo's

I finally jumped on the Leo wagon after many years of having just Boid snakes and a couple of Beardies.

I traded one of my sub-adult Dumerils boas for some Leo's. I ended up with a large male possible Super Hypo Tangerine, a male possible Snake Eyes Bell Albino & a gravid female Reverse Stripe. I was hoping to get some clarification on the two males. They were both about to shed when I picked them up. The former owner wasn't sure on the actual morph names (and neither am I).

Pleas let me know your opinions on the 2 males. The Albino is responsible for the eggs in the Reverse Stripe female.

After digging through lots of leopard geckos sites and pics. I agree that the first male is a SHTCTB.:main_yes:

Man what a long name. Almost ran out of breath tryin' to repeat it.

:main_laugh: Yeah, that name is long- like a tongue twister almost. But he's got a LOT of carrot tail- looks like 95+%

They all look fat and happy- give the gravid girl a lay box, though, so you don't end up with her egg-bound.

He has 1 orange band at the base of the tail and another about halfway down the tail. I wish I could put a mate with him, but I can't because he will kill it (I was told he is considered a "hot" leo:main_huh:). I'd love to see what he would produce if put with another SHTCTB.

Ultrakd, I am not sure about the female being a Red Stripe, I have looked at other photos of Red Stripes, and I don't think she fits the bill, BUT I could be wrong.

Thank You Everyone for your compliments!!! I think I got a pretty good trade on these guys & girl.:main_thumbsup:

Ok, maybe I am wrong about the whole Red Stripe thing (not first time I have been wrong, & won't be the last either:main_yes:).

The pics I found make them look more albinoish. BUT your girl & mine look about the same.

I think your albino may be a Tremper. It looks like one of those Trempers that almost looks like a Bell. I think an eye pic would confirm either way.

I wouldn't call the female a reverse stripe or a red stripe. A reverse stripe is one solid line down the back, and a red stripe should atleast have stripes that are orange/red.

Your not the first person to question the Albino. He looks like a Bell, but he has 2 black eyes (possibly "snake eyes"). I need to get a good head shot of him for ya'll to see. As far as the Stripe goes, I am confused with her. As far as her pattern goes, she looks like the Red Stripe in the other pic. But her sides are yellow.

These aren't the best pics either. I plan on getting some better pics this weekend.
