My little rugrats, morph IDing, and a couple questions..

[Merriweather]

I have two little leos, Analogue Static which I got on 10-4, and Astroman Ginger which I got on 10-11. I would have pegged them about a 4-6 weeks old when I purchased them, they both were pretty tiny.

I'd like to know what morphs they are, and I some quirks that confuse me.

Taken late Nov, early Dec:

Astroman, my heat-loving carrot-tailed[?] slightly vision-challenged gecko. Bright lights make it squint, or close its eyes completely. When it went to the vet, it ran around angrily on the paper towel with its eyes closed the whole time. :u

Astroman looking creepy

Analogue, who will eat a wax worm treat anytime, but crickets might not be taken unless they are handfed. Prissy.

Taken tonight:

Forgot to turn off the flash. Blind geckos. They are both in the feeding container, I feed them separately because Astroman I'm pretty sure has some vision problems.

Analogue is getting more yellow.

Astroman has a bump on it's left wrist, it developed about a month after I got it. I took it to the vet and he was stumped, he said it wasnt a build up because the gecko was so young (5 grams) and since it was pliable it wasnt a cyst or something built onto the bone. We concluded it had to be an infection of sorts, and onto Bytril Astro went. I did the two weeks of treatments, and while the redness went down, the soft bump remains. I dont know how an infection would have happened, cricket bites are unlikely as I monitor their feeding in a separate bin.
Has anyone else had this happen to them? Anyone have any clue whats up with it? Should I just not worry about it unless it changes again? It doesnt bother the gecko, it walks fine and if you touch the bump it doesnt seem to discomfort it. I was hoping the antibiotics would make it disappear. Does it just have poopy genetics?

Cute geckos!
Astroman isn't a carrot tail. Maybe a Murphys Patternless? Enigma? Some geckos, especially albinos, are sensitive to the light.

Analogue looks like a Mack Snow, generally black and white and yellowing with age.

 

[Kristi23]

Your first one is an albino which is why he's light sensitive. I'd say albino murphy patternless.

They're both really cute! I have no idea about the bump though.

 

[Mel&Keith]

I've never seen a bump like that either but you've definitely got a Patternless Albino and a Mack Snow.

 

[LZRDGRL]

Yes, you have a Murphy Patternless and a Mack Snow. They're very pretty! :main_thumbsup: Could the bump be gout? Then, you're lucky it's just in one place. Otherwise, both geckos look very healthy, good tail and all.

Good luck with them!

Astroman isn't a carrot tail. .

Oh! Okay, I was thinking it had some of that, because in comparison to Analogue, it's tail is a bit shorter and doesn't have that graceful flow that you want to see in a leo's tail. I heard some of the albino morphs had that in their genes, so I thought maybe that was the explanation.
*Edit-I just looked it up. Derp nvm.

Thank you! Theys mah babies. I heard gout was more in the joints, and this is definitely not attached to the bone, and its soft and squishy, almost like a sac of fluid. It went down a bit with the antibiotics with the first week, and then with the second week of antibiotics there was no change. Everything else on that gecko seems fine, oh! I forgot, that foot with the little growth is slightly turned inward, the vet said he thinks the bones have been/are growing so that front foot will have a slight inward turn. Peculiar...

Thanks everyone for the ID-ing! I was pretty sure Analogue was a mack snow[of some type], but I was stumped on Astroman.

I tot thats a Patternless Rainwater Albino?? @@

I looked up both morphs, Murphys and Rainwater... I'm leaning a bit towards rainwater but I guess time will tell when it gets older. Either way I'm happy to have some direction.

This really has nothing to do with your LG with the bump, but it does at the same time. I get sists on my wrist that I can move around my wrist (pretty nasty.) Mine I have to pop (applying pressure) or else they start to effect my mobility. I was told that if I can't pop it or it doesn't go away on its own, then I have to have to go to the doctor so they can take the liquid out, but maybe that's what's wrong with your LG. Kinda going out on a really far limb there. :/
