My new obsession

[StonedFish]

Hey guy seen all ur great pics and thought id post mine to!
Heres the first gecko ive ever got i named her stutters lol i think shes just awesome looking but i was told shes just normal.. ive got no clue any idea? the pics i see of normals look nothing like this

Then 4 days later i went to the same breeder and got this lil girl. im told its a tangerine

I bought this female off a kijiji add from some idiot as an albino. she was housed in a 20 gal tank with a male since the guy had them as babies. her back left foot is missing 2 toes i can only imagine were from being picked on or the fact that there was no humid hide at all. i got both male female heat light UTH and the tank for 70 bucks lol even tho i dont know what they are the guy was shooting at the tank with a b.b. gun to make them move around more so i had to take them to safety lol. after a good shed and being alone for 2 weeks she went from pale white to yellow!

and a pic of my male.. was sold as an albino aswell and was pale as a ghost but again after a good shed just 2 days ago i cant help but feel as if he might be a murphys pattern

anyways any input on what u guys think the genetics might be would be really helpful.

Nice looking geckos.

You got three beautiful geckos there! The first one looks like a Mack Snow to me, not like a Normal. It has white, and almost no yellow, and absolutely amazing dark bands; so if this is a Normal, it's the prettiest Normal I've ever seen :main_thumbsup:

The Tangerine looks very nice, too. And your "Albino" is just missing two tiny toe tips, not her "toes," and that doesn't matter at all! She has a nice faded carrot tail which might become some more color when she gets warm and well fed.

You're right, your male is definitely a Murphy Patternless! A person who shoots at a gecko cage with a BB gun is really an idiot. Glad you got those gorgeous geckos! They must think they died and went to heaven :main_yes:

thought i'd give this to you for future reference

http://leopardgeckowiki.com/ <-- is a good site to go to help you learn the morphs. Don't use it as a bible as they're not 100% accurate with everything

Cute leos btw, love that snow.

She's pretty, but wouldn't be so quick to call her a Mack Snow... On occasion you will hatch a normal that develops like that from a yellow and black baby... In all honesty, who cares?! Just enjoy them!

Beautiful leos. Here is another great morph link to accompany what Pretty gave you. I found it extremely helpful being able to compare wiki with this one to find the true story since wiki is user donated info. it can sometimes be a lil inaccurate. http://www.paulsagereptiles.com/LeopardGenetics.htm

That's really a clever idea, an "organic" food dish, well done!
