The story of my cresties (some questions)

[Kmay571]

So, I work at a local pet store. One day this past march, I showed up to work with everyone freaking out. Apparently someone abandoned a box with 8 1g babies at our door. I set them up in a quarantine tank and checked each one over. Two has lost their tails in the box. The store didn't want to sell the frogbutts, so I took them. All of the others survived and are doing quite well.

I brought the the babies home that night and weighed them. The harlequin was just shy of 1 gram and the other was just at 1.5g. That night I barely slept. I didn't know low long they had been in the cold or what condition they were in. So I stayed up with them. The larger I named Thor. The smaller harlequin is Loki.

Flashforward a couple weeks, Thor is pooping like crazy and has shed and is up to 3 grams. Loki, however, is just over 1.5g. Isolated him and put his tank next to my bed so I can watch him. Since then, he has been gaining weight just as rapidly as Thor. He just wants to eat the cgd dry. And nothing else. Thor is a pig.

Now they are 7.5 and 5 grams. Loki is small. I am assuming they are about 5 months old. I have tried to sex them based on looks alone.

Thor looks like he is starting to develop a bulge. And I can see the pores clearly above his vent. Assuming he is a he.

Loki, I haven't had much luck with.

Their pictures are on my profile. Can't figure out how to work the attachments on my iPad...

so here are my questions:
And idea of sex based off the pictures (I know it's difficult)?
What are their morphs?
Any guess on their age when they were abandoned?

I'm guessing the last gecko pictured is a boy. [emoji106]

The tannish one I would call a tiger. I would also call her a probably female since she has no pores or a bulge, but some boys are late bloomers. The one with the orange dorsal I would consider a harlequin, and a probable male ( I see a little bulge happening too). What color is he when he fires up? Because he looks like he could be a Halloween harlequin (black and orange).

Given that they were less than 2 g, I would think they were freshly hatched, because that's really small.

Sounds like you are taking really good care of them . You should be a proud mama, they are adorable!

Loki gets dark chocolate and orange when he gets fired up. I wish it would be black.

I am very proud of them.

Looks like I'm going to have to come up with a new name for Thor!

Wow, how cool! What an amazing thing for you to have done! I am really curious, but I just hope it's okay to ask... did you know much about their care before they became your babies? You mentioned you worked in a pet store, so I bet

I did know about their basic care. Not too much about morphs and the such. I've always been into reptiles and that's what my main focus is at the pet store. Geckos weren't really an interest to me until I got these babies. Since getting them, I sold all many snakes (I had 5) and decided to focus on geckos! So much more interesting.
