Hi Everyone!
We just got our first few leopard geckos and could use some help ID'ing sexes and morphs.

First is our boy. We know for a fact he is a male, he is 56 grams. We need some help on his morph please! He has some amazing looking eyes!


Next is our female. Pretty sure she is a female. She is 32 grams. Need some help with her morph!


Next are our 2 little ones, not sure of sex or morph of either.
1) Only 5 grams!


2) Only 10 grams. Seems to have a "translucent" stomach. Does that mean anything?


Thank You !

All but the one with the dark black bands looks albino. The first looks like it might be a snow as well or it could just be really light colored. It is difficult if not impossible to say which kind of albino they are or if they are more than one kind without knowing what the parents were. They all look female to me except the one you said was 10g with the translucent stomach could potentially be male. It will be easier to tell as he gets bigger. I think the stomach looks that way because he is small and albino. Nothing strange or worrying about it.

Thank you!

So with the male possibly being a snow, is there anything that goes really well with that? And also with the 32g female. I feel like there is more to her then just albino but I don't really know. Unfortunately I am new to morphs so I apologize. We really would like to TRY to prove them out and keep straight lines from there but I am really goin to need everyone's help and support :) I read something about breeding them with a normal??? But again, I am not quite sure how to go about this.

I look forward to your advice!! Thank you :)

Here's what I think now after posting on a few forums:

1) blazing blizzard bell albino male

2) Bell Albino (Las Vegas?) female

3) aberrant poss tang.

4) aberrant Tremper albino

What do you think?

with the second gecko, it is nearly impossible to differ between albinos for certain without a genetic record. she could be full of unknown hets that would be a mess to figure out if you bred her. and the only way to tell what strain of albino she is (or any albinos she is het for) would be to breed her to proven albinos to figure it out. And that could create a huge mess of crossed albinos which is a HUGE no-no in breeding (just read the Muddy waters sticky at the top of the morphs and genetics page! :) ). So i personally would not reccomend breeding her, just to avoid a headache from a bunch of pet-only rehomings that would take place :(

just my two cents :)

From what other people have said he looks like a blazing blizzard bell albino... What do you think? I contacted the previous owner and he said yes he is strictly a bell. Would you believe that knowing what you know about morphs. And if so, I am going to an expo in 2 weeks, what would be good to pair with him?

I don't want to contribute to the mess! I want to start off right :) I hope you guys can help!

I hope that others can give you good advice! i fail at identifying alot of morphs (im learning though!), but that top leo is stunning, and i would love to know what he is too! :D

The top is definitely not a blazing blizzard. It could be what the previous owner said it was. I wouldn't breed any of those leos. Especially if you want to "start off right". You'll need to buy from a breeder that has definite knowledge of their Leo's genetics. Otherwise you'll have a huge mess.
