I acquired two juvenile leopard geckos recently, a lady I know bought them for her sons, and after they "wouldn't grow" she decided to give them to me.. They are in good shape now aside from missing toes (previous owners just threw crickets in their cage by the dozens). I have had them probably a month or so and they have grown drastically in this time. During this process, I have begun to notice that their coloration and patterns have gotten to the point where they look quite different. The only history I have on these animals is the price that was paid for them by the original owners, which led me to believe they were both normals. However, now that I have spent some time with them I've notice that while one has a very high yellow, the other is beginning to turn more of an orange. I have taken some photos but for some reason it's a little tough to tell from the pictures what I'm talking about. Either that, or my eyes are going bad way too soon. If you guys don't mind, please discuss this matter for me. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

The yellow on that gal in the second picture is stunning! They look like hypos to me. One definitely has some tangerine color. They could be siblings that just got different doses of the genetic pool. Those spots may continue to fade as they grow and they could be almost solid colored when they mature. They definitely look fat and happy now! Good job taking care of them!
