id go ahead and separate them if you already haven't. female is just a normal and like dennis said, all babies will be normals het albino(whatever strain the male is, need a eye pic to tell) unless there is a unknown het in the female :p

once she lays she will keep laying and continue to loose weight during that period, and unless separated the male will continue to breed the females and cause him weight loss as well.

thats okay, i wasnt looking for anything special when i got them, just a little side project, here is a pic of the male's eye:

the female's weight is actually pretty good, she has a nice fat tail, ill get her on the scale when i get home today, but the male is noticeably skinny, which has me think he may have parasites, but im having a hell of a time finding a vet.

You should definitely separate them.
If the male has parasites it's highly likely the female does to. Even if she has a fat tail some animals can harbor parasites better than others. So you will need to treat both animals. And if you have other leos and not been following proper quarantine procedures (handling these animals and anything in their cage AFTER handling others. AND washing hands before and after), then you will probably need to medicate your entire collection.

And who knows what medicating the mom will do to her eggs/babies... So in reality I would not keep any eggs from her until you have a positive diagnosis that she is parasite free and healthy

Oh and its likely a tremper albino, I could tell by the pattern but the eye does make me more confident.

okay, thank you! i will be seperating them into seperate 15 gallons with paper towels and their necessities and thoroughly cleaning their 30 gallon tank..im still trying to find a vet though ..and the only other animals i have are chameleons, but i havent handled them since ive gotten the leos. im not concerned about the babies, if they live, they live, if not, maybe for the best. and thanks for the morph info :)
