What morph am I looking for?

[sleekstar]

Hello all!

I'm a college student who finally has space in her apartment for a little leo to come and join me!
I've been trying to research what morph I'm interested in, but would like some feedback from this community to tell me exactly the morph I'm wanting.
I'm not looking to breed my leopard gecko, the reason I'm so specific with that coloration I want is because I'm an art student- color and pattern are a big deal to me!
I'd like a gecko with lighter eyes- I've learned that eggs incubated at higher temps produce lighter eyed leos. [This is good for me, because I'd like a female].
I'm thinking what I want is somewhere along the lines of a tremper albino, a bell albino, or a las vegas albino, but I'm not sure exactly what the morphs of the geckos pictured below are.


I think that rich yet subtle thick brown patterning on their heads are absolutely gorgeous. I'd prefer one like the top image, but the girl on the bottom is beautiful as well.
If anyone could point me in the right direction as to what these morphs are, it would be greatly appreciated!

Also, I'm looking for any websites I could buy from. I don't want to buy from a local pet store [for concerns about the leo's health and I don't think they'd have the morph I'm looking for anyways.] I'm trying to stay within the $100-125 [including shipping] range if that helps or hinders any website suggestions.
I'm still collecting supples for my leo, but hopefully will have everything within a few months
I'd also looking to get a hatchling [well, an old enough to be shipped youngin'], so I'd like to stay away from geckos that are already grown as they seem to cost quite a bit more the older they are [prob for breeding purposes?] but if I can find one that's very similar to what I want, I may be willing to break this rule.

Thanks for any and all help! It's greatly appreciated!

What state do you live in?

Your location would be helpful. You're looking at albino geckos. The bottom one looks to me to be a Tremper and the first picture is hard to determine but could either be a Bell or a tangerine Tremper. It would be great if you can get to a reptile show so you can see the geckos "in person" ask questions to the breeder and have a nice selection to choose from.

I live in Atlanta, Georgia. I heard Repticon comes to Atlanta sometime in November, I was considering checking that out too if I'm able.

And yes, as stated above I know they're some type of albinos but I wasn't sure exactly what

If you like the darker brown, go for a Bell. I personally like the purples seen in the Trempers =)

 

[DrCarrotTail]

The dark brown can be caused by temperature. Tremper albinos incubated and/or kept at cooler temps can be called "chocolate" albinos. Bell albinos show the darker colors more naturally but temperature can play a role in their appearance too. Las Vegas albinos hold color the least well. The best striped LVs I've seen are from Marcia at Golden Gate Geckos. The pictures you posed are gorgeous. Good luck finding one!

1st picture is a las vegas, eyes are dark and shadowy -like.
2nd is a tremper, silver/light grey eyes with red veins.

I don't have albinos but my hatchlings will have color and pattern. They're not even a week old so you could get one once they turn 20g. And I'm charging $110 shipped. Check out my FB and tell me what you think. Link is in signature.

And also go through my geckos and check out the head pattern on my Tremper albino. That could help make your decision easier on what strain to get

more questions, of course!

Gah! Thanks to all who answered so quickly! You have all provided such useful information.


@DrCarrotTail, I think Marcia's Golden Gate Geckos are GORGEOUS, however they're a bit out of my price range unfortunately. D:
Her sunglow babies are so vibrant! If I wasn't so in love with the patterning of these bells and albinos, I'd want one of those.
Is there any way from looking at hatchlings to know how dark/light they'll turn out to be? I'm going to post some pics of hatchlings below in this post that I'm considering getting, maybe someone can tell me what they'll look like. (Though from what I gather, babies change so drastically from hatchlings as they grow, so there'd probably be no way to tell.)


@LeopInc- your babies look great! However I'm pretty set on getting soe sort of albino unfortunately, but I appreciate the offer.
Your tremper is a doll, I love the coloration.


So I think I've found a pretty good website to buy from, they have a good selection with decent prices.
Can you all tell me if they look healthy? I'm so new to leo's that I have no clue at all. xD I'll include hatching date.
I'd also like to ask if coloration can be determined just by looking at these pictures, of what they may look like older? I know that's probably impossible, but it doesn't hurt to ask!


These are two unsexed, incubated for males that I'm looking at. both tremper albinos.

This one was hatched 6/18/13


Hatched 7/4/13

So the top one is slightly darker than the bottom one.. is it safe to say the top one will have darker markings as an adult? Or is it random?
They're both so precious. (In case you haven't noticed it's hard for me not to buy out the whole store, though I doubt the owners would complain much! haha) And yes, I know not to put two males in the same tank.

Will their eyes change as they age?

I mean, I'm going to love and spoil my gecko(s!) whatever she looks like! But I'm just trying to be as specific as I can while picking out the perfect leo for me.. I hope that's normal.
Anyways, I'd appreciate any feedback anyone can give me!

Okay, I know this isn't the right place for this really but I figured since I'm already throwing questions out all over the place it'd be okay to post this here as well.
So I'm looking to have non-live food for my leo as well, (even though she will get live mini mealworms at first) I was wondering if she'd be able to eat these foods or if they'd be too big for her, or if she shouldn't eat them till she's older. I've got everything else on my list except food- let me know if your leos eat these things, or if you recommend not buying them!



Thanks so much for everyone bearing with a newbie's questions! ^w^
I want the best for my new pet!

Feed live mealworms gutloaded 24 hours with some healthy veggeys and dusted with calcium. And try Contacting Marcia she may have some geckos not listed more in your range.
