What to look for??

[bman123]

I notice some sites list their animals with a rating system. I am looking into getting a few leos but I don't know what to look for in terms of a rating.
I'm gonna be looking at a enigma and a snow and or super snow
I know with the enigma I need to look for the circling, head tilt syndrome but in terms of looks in hatchlings what should I look for out of these three morphs to pick the best ones?

Enigmas are so different from what I've seen in pics and most of the super snows look the same. Please chime in guys..

As far as the rating systems go, I dont pay any attention to them because everyone has a different opinion of whats nice. Its all in what you like, what catches your eye, or has the characteristics that you are looking for. As far as Enigmas I have several they are beautiful geckos BUT you need to remember that the Enigma issues can be brought on by stress. I have bought Enigmas that showed no signs or issues but the stress of being shipped caused it to start.
Also I would go with the Super Snow over the Snow

I don't know if the snow or super snow will be available. It's probably gonna be one or the other lol. I will get the super over the regular snow for sure if I can.
I didn't know if there are certain things people look for when buying enigmas or snows. All the super snows I see look the same but the enigmas are alot different.

Well hopefully the enigmas will be fine as I am picking them up they won't be shipped. It's about a 20minute drive each way to get them so it should be alot less stressful then being shipped on a airplane.
I have looked on different sites and see the enigmas being priced different do to the patterns being different and the tone of their color. That's why iasked about them I can't really tell a difference between the super snows tho.

Again it depends on what you like, Not all Super Snows look alike I like the high white super Snows. Are you just looking for a plain Enigma or a combo morph?

It would be nice to get a Mack snow enigma, that way I could have one less adult running around lol.

I really like super snows =D That's my little diva. She's the pickiest one of the bunch and the one easiest agitated lol. I'm too 'scared' to take on engima's lol.

That one is a looker, I was a bit sketchy on the enigmas until I read up on them. Now I'm ready for one, lol.

You wouldn't say that about her right now, lol! She's in the middle of a shed right now and her whole body is dingy yellow looking right now.

I hear ya my raptor is is all washed out and he looks like a whiteish yellow. I will try to get a good pic of him today so you can see what I mean. I will do a before and after. The color difference is huge when he's shedding and afterwards..
