I really think you should go to "Show of Your Leos." This sub-forum is for genetic questions, IDs, etc. You seem to just want to post pictures of all your geckos.

you nailed the SHTCTB. The other appears to be a red stripe. Both are emaciated, hope you didn't pay much for them at the show you picked them up at. I'd get fecals done on them ASAP, assuming their cadaverous appearance isn't due to egg laying.

Maybe we're seeing different things in the pictures because they don't look emaciated to me. As far as the stripe goes, the whitish part that runs down the middle looks to me like what people call a "dorsal stripe" which just means that the midline divider is more prominant than on some other geckos. It's hard for me to tell otherwise whether it's a stripe or a reverse stripe. Sometimes with a regular stripe, the originally black stripe on either side of the midline breaks up into little dots, but I think sometimes with a reverse stripe, the black stripe down the middle could break up into outlined dots.

Actually, those two don't look that "cadaverous" to me. The other one in the newer thread did (the snake-eyed Raptor with the spotted tail). A fecal sample is ALWAYS a good idea when you buy new geckos from a show or pet store or breeder, no matter where. Just keep them in quarantine. Those two seem to be doing fine and should fatten up quickly.

The striped gecko appears to be a Red Stripe. When they are juvies, they have red/orange stripes, but as they mature, those stripes become dark brown and more spotted. That's their normal development. It's a pretty leo, and the carrot tail, too! :main_yes:
