Hi!
I recently aquired 3 leopard geckos from "bored" previous owners and have been nursing them back to health (literally, in one case.) Now that I'm sure they're on the way to recovery, I have some time to get an idea of what morphs they are. I think I have an idea on all of them, but I'd like confirmation from someone more experienced with leos.
This pretty little girl is Lizzie Bennet; I'm assuming she's a Murphy's Patternless? (And yes, she's off the sand now. This was how her previous owners had the setup.) She shed the day after this picture and the yellow in her body has intensified, but otherwise the color is the same.
This next guy is Brandon, who came to me a week and a half ago with what the vet called "a very bad hemi penis pouch impaction/infection" that was the size of a grape. He's responded well to antibiotics and pain meds, thank goodness, and should be fine. He's a little pale in this pic, and I think he's getting ready to shed.
This last guy is Jayne. He was assumed female by the previous owners and kept in the same enclosure as Brandon for the last 2.5 years. That didn't go so well, as you can see by the healing scrape/scarring on his head. He also apparently lost his tail sometime last month and is missing a few toe tips from incomplete shedding. He shed last night and is a bit brighter, not-quite-mustard yellow in the body now.
Are these two guys Super Hypo? They have no spots on their bodies. Brandon has spots on his head; Jayne doesn't have any spots on his head that I can see, but the healing scrape makes it hard to tell if he might have had one or two. Am I at least on the right track assuming some sort of Hypo?
I'm not intending to breed these guys, especially with Brandon having had such a serious infection in his, er, parts, but it'd be nice to know what to call their morphs.
Thanks so much!
