Hi all, I'm new to leopard geckos and just got my first ones the other day. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what I got? And before anyone mentions it, the sand is gone now it was a temporary thing.

Both are tangerine color and the second one looks as if it is losing all its body spots, which would make it a super hypo tangerine. If the tail becomes at least 30% orange or so, it will be considered a carrot tail. The first one will be a hypo tang if it loses most of its spots and a superhypo if it loses all its spots. You could also call them both "aberrant" because, while both are not completely banded in the body, they are banded in the tail.

First one is Hypo tang male
Second Super Hypo tang female

Dont house those two together. They need to be separated until breeding age/size. Dont want any preteen pregnancies :main_lipsrsealed:

Thanks for the responses. How can you tell whether they're male or female? Don't you need to look at the cloaca's for that?

I would also say that it looks like you have a male and female from those pictures but if you could get a shot of the underside I could tell for sure.
