Viola and Olivia!

[Athedwyn]

I posted about Viola (~1yr) awhile ago when she was sick and found out later she had pinworm. She's recovering nicely and recently got Olivia(~3 yrs) from my boyfriend's coworker who could no longer care for her. Olivia is originally from a breeder. They are currently kept in separate tanks. If anyone has thoughts on morphs, let me know!

Viola - Super Hypo?
Olivia - Jungle Albino?

It looks like your guesses are close from what I can see of them. I'm not the best with morphs but I can tell by the side shots you've got some kind of either patternless or hypo and an albino of sorts.
If you take and post clear, well lit shots of their backs we can tell a little better. Maybe Aliza will hop on here. She's great with leo morphs.
Otherwise, here's one of the best sites I've found on Leo morphs:

So glad that Viola is doing better! I'm sure you're relieved as well. Olivia is a pretty girl and I couldn't tell you what morphs either.

It always makes me really, REALLY happy to hear about a leo's successful recovery. I'm afraid I know little about morphs, but your girls are beautiful!

I am sooo relieved! There was a time after Viola's medicine she stopped eating altogether. She was losing weight and she was already on the skinny side. Her bright yellow coloring was also getting really dull and it was just breaking my heart. Boyfriend and I decided after a month of not eating to give her a slurry. Not force it, but putting a bit at a time on her nose to lick up. She finally got the energy to eat on her own and now she's so active and happy! She's at 33g! Up from 30g.

Now Olivia might have been slightly sand impacted from her last owner. Wasn't kept on straight sand. Had pieces of stone mostly with reptisand in between. Replaced all of that with textured ceramic tile. She was eating but was about 5 days in between poops which isn't normal I don't think. Giving her some shallow baths just in case and she seems better now too!

I'll try to get some photos of their backs and post in the morphs channel!

Try some olive/mineral oil for Olivia to help pass the sand. I would avoid feeding her anything except some turkey baby food until she passes the sand, insects can cause a back-up and make it harder for her to pass it, unless she already has passed the sand.

Awesome! Thank you for the tip!

 

[JessJohnson87]

You're welcome! I've never dealt with sand impaction but I've read all the tips Elizabeth and other's give to deal with it. That is usually the most effective along with the warm soaks.

I also forgot to mention, Viola had her first shed last week since we got her mid-october! She did it all on her own without any help!

Sorry, I get way too excited about these things now. The imaginary Viola voice in my head:
"Girl, why you so worried 'bout my shed? I got this."
