My girlfriend just picked up these 2 Leos in trade today and the person she got them from was not exactly sure of what morph they were....I think the male is a SHTCB and the female looks like a Snow Enigma perhaps? (after looking more, I think the male is a Sunglow)

I know the pics aren't great....they were taken with her cell phone until we can get a decent camera lol.

I am assuming both of them have normal eyes? In that case then I would agree with you, a Sunglow and a MS Enigma :) Nice leos btw!

The male is definitey not a Patternless. He is likely a Tremper albino coming from a line bred history that has severely reduced spotting and intnsified orange coloration. Another option is that he is from the Raptor side of the Trempers in whih case he could be what is called a patternless stripe. A patternless striped animal has both a stripe and a reverse stripe showing on the body simultaneously, giving them a "patternless" apearance. If you breed him and a good portion of the offspring show stripes or reverse stripes, he is likely a patternless stripe. Either way, he is a Sunglow, which is a Super Hypo Tang Carrot Tail Baldy Tremper albino (and he is a nice one at that!).

The male is a Sunglow. He is not a patternless stripe, he does not have a striped tail.

The female is an Enigma for sure, but whether or not she is a Snow Enigma is hard to say. She is very light in color, but the Enigma gene can express all sorts of crazy traits, so being a snow cannot be guaranteed without test breeding.
