What morph is my leopard gecko???

[Henritron]

I don't think they're banded geckos...it looks like you may have an albino and the darker one possibly looks like an AFT (African Fat tail) but I am not entirely sure but based on these pics, that's what they seem to be to me

Hopefully someone will be able to confirm my belief or give you a better idea!

Beautiful Geckos at any rate!

Thanks!

At the pet store the albino was advertized as a fancy albino leopard gecko - he is blind so they were having trouble selling him so of course i had to take him in.
The other was being sold from the same tank (they had been shipped in together) so i figured i would get 2 so they had some company.

Just wanted to figure out what i had though

I applaud you for getting a blind gecko, it will need A LOT of extra care and will be totally dependent on you so I hope you're up for that challenge! I think that is great of you to do though

What size tank do you have? The reason I ask is because 2 geckos really should not be housed together because they don't 'need' company BUT if you are going to house them together, they need a ton of space (recommended a 20g Long tank for 1 gecko so +10 gal/additional gecko, probably looking at at least a 30 gal)and at least 3 hides for each gecko.
Also do you know the sex of them? Because they may mate (I am not sure bc of the slightly different species) or worse, two males will fight to the death!

I'd suggest posting a thread in the "Identify this Species" section. You'll have better luck there.

Yes im more then happy to have the challenge - i take on special needs animals so hes just one of the many "special" creatures living in my house.
Hes been very open to me hand feeding him. All i have to do now is click the tweezers and he comes running.
Right now i have them in a 20g long (i plan to get a larger tank once they get a little bigger. i have 2 warm hides, 2 cold hides, and 2 moist hides but they go everywhere together. Most of the time they are sleeping in one of their warm hides draped over one another and where one goes, the other isnt too far behind..they even prefer to be held together in the same hand.
Im pretty sure they are both males, though i have been reading that it can be hard to tell sometimes.. I have been reading up on the males going after one another.. some websites say dont put them together at all, some say as long as there is never females around they can co-exist. ive also read that raising them from very small they co-exist peacefully (i go them both a couple weeks ago, i cant believe how fast they grow!). its been very confusing as they seem very happy to be with one another right now i almost feel bad to seperate them
I do have a spare 10g tank so if they start to be mean to one another then i will seperate them. thus far i havent seen any physical bullying, nor do i ever see either of them being "dominant" (if thats the word to use) over one another. i spend a ton of time just watching them and i have never noticed anything that i would deem concerning. Neither stand over one another in a threatening manner and both prefer to eat near one another.

Kudos! I am very impressed! Solid researching done, Best of luck!

I commend you on all the research you've done and how much time and thought you've put into this, but if you even suspect they're both males, they should be separated immediately. That stuff about them living together peacefully is, to put it gently, crap. Females often can't even live together peacefully, let alone males. Uncastrated males of even social species (herp and non-herp) usually shouldn't ever be housed together, and leos are a solitary species.

The reality of it is, unless you watch them 24/7, if you wait until you notice problems to separate them, you could be too late. Most feel that the following each other around and laying on top of each other is, in fact, "bullying." These behaviours are signs of dominance, not affection as most people like to believe.

Good to know.

Thank you!

What morf is my gecko?

 

[Cleox3]

Hello, these are my first two geckos. I know one is a tremper albino, but can anyone tell me what morph the second gecko is?

 

[Jaker89]

Anyone have any idea this morph?

It's looks average to me, but my only Internet is my phone and it takes forever to hunt through all the morphs.

 

[mpeek]

This gecko was sold to me as a blazing blizzard. I don't think that is true. I am thinking that it may be a blizzard, but I am not sure. Any help from this great community would be truly appreciated.

Wow. That's an odd-looking gecko. I sure would love to know what morph this one is too.

Is it weird that it kind of reminds me of Scooby Doo? >.>

[mpeek]

Scooby Doo ... huh ... I think I figured out what I want to name him. Thanks Maggot.

OMGYAY. I feel so influential. You ever breed this gecko and get some more like it, let me know! I think I deserve a discount.

~Maggot

 

[mpeek]

Maggot a discount is all yours for helping me with the name.

I just got him a couple weeks ago, and he is a bit underweight for breeding. However, when I fatten him up and make sure he is 100% healthy, I will definitely be breeding him. I will probably see what happens when I put him with the SHCT baldy that I have.

 

[Embrace Calamity]

Where'd you get him from? I mean, did they not know his background at all?

~Maggot

 

[mpeek]

I got him from someone in town selling him on craigslist. They said that the breeder they got him from said that he was a blazing blizzard. They didn't have any other information about his background. However, from my research, I think that a blazing blizzard should be almost completely white. So what the seller told me doesn't really match what he looks like.

 

[Embrace Calamity]

Hmmmm. Veeerrryy interesting.

Anyway, I'll stop spamming the thread. I hope someone can figure it out for you. I'm crap with morphs.

Yes, your gecko is a blizzard, not blazing blizzard. The black spot is called a paradox spot - they seem to be common in blizzards, both my two have them, one more than the other. Blizzards can range from light grey/almost white to very dark grey. Here's the spottier one for comparison

 

[Embrace Calamity]

I thought paradox spots were red/orange. Maybe it depends what morph they're on?

What would he need to breed it with to get similar babies? Just another similarly-colored blizzard?
