The Top one looks Enigma-Ish. I can't really tell from that Picture.

3rd is a High Yellow

4th and 5th are Abberants

6 should be a Nice little Hypo when it grows up!

I agree.

 

[stephiecakes]

Thank you! Do you want to see a better pic of the first one?

 

[GECKO DUDE]

A face shot would be good

 

[stephiecakes]

this is the only other one i have right this second but ill try to take more now

 

[GECKO DUDE]

OK i would fatten him up and try not to stress him out too much. I am able to see his hip bones and that is not good at all.

Yeah, I would also suggest not holding these guys for a week or two, nothing over a minute.

Not until every single one of them is eating properly and gaining weight, babies stress very very easily.

 

[stephiecakes]

ok thanks for the help! We really dont hold any of them. Just for a minute the other day for pics. And I think he is so skinny because where we got him he was in a tank with a LOT of other babies and hes really slow at catching food =( Ill keep you guys updated on his weight to make sure everything is going ok.

 

[malt_geckos]

Well, in my opinion, they are all WAY to skinny. That enigma is especially sad looking. Get some weight on them and they should turn out great.

1- enigma
2- high-yellow
3- high-yellow poss tangerine?
4-high-yellow
5-high-yellow (almost has whitish look...maybe mack snow?)
6- tangerine

If it is having a hard time catching crickets you could pull the back legs of the crickets off.

 

[stephiecakes]

i tride the cricket legs he has a hard time even getting a wax worm

 

[malt_geckos]

try holding them with tweezers infront of the gecko. I do notice enigmas sometimes have a harder time catching food than a non-enigma gecko.

 

[GECKO DUDE]

Why do enigmas have a harder time

 

[malt_geckos]

I think it has to do with he ocular albinism...they have a harder time seeing the bug IMO. They hit at the food and if they miss, they kind of drag their mouth towards the food until they feel it....I've seen a Super Snow do this to...so I don't know if it's just an enigma thing. If you go to the Genetics section on the forum here, there's a lot about enigmas.

 

[stephiecakes]

yes

thats exactly wat my enigma dose it is sad but i know it eats meal worms and wax worms fine and i need to fatten them up, thanks alot for the help guys and i will keep you posted with picks on them
