What are they?

[skits]

I'm curious as to what morphs my geckos are. I would say normals but I looked into all the different colors and thought there might be a more specific term for it?

This is Sammy, he's four years old. We sort of rescued him and his brother/sister from the petstore as they were both dehydrated and lethargic looking. Star (his brother/sister) passed away after four days, Sammy grew up nicely though.

Here's his baby picture.

And now.

And next is Pop-eye, I'm not sure of his age. We just got him a few days ago, his owner wanted to use his tank to house a snake in so he was rehoming him. He's HUGE, and has huge eyes as well. Which I'm thinking is bug eyes, which is a bad genetic trait I believe? He's very thin right now but I'm working on fattening him up.

I hope your not housing them together in.case of parasites or whatever. popeye is pretty under weight too

Looks like 2 diffrent tanks to me . But yeah, im sure youve already figured that Popeye needs some serious fattening. They both look norm to me.

Oh no not at all, they are in different tanks. And I know, I've been feeding Popeye crickets and wax worms, it's what I used when I had to fatten Sammy up. He's already getting bigger, I'll need to start weighing him.

Ahh just making sure just safer for the leos lol. Cant wait to see him fattened up, there cute!

 

[skits]

Yeah for sure. Would anyone know why Pop-eye's eyes are so big though? Is that "bug eye"? Is it just a gene or something else? I've never seen geckos like that lol

It could be because shes very skinny.

I'd say they are both High Yellows, I have one that looks exactly like them.
