Here are a few photos of my geckos. I need help with the ID. I think I know most, but want to ask for help from those in the "know". Thanks in advance.



Male #1

Female #2

Female #3 I received an email from a complete stranger offering me this female. She is missing toes on both front feet, as well as there must be a lack of vitamins. Her limbs move funny, as if she cant hold her self high off the bottom of the enclosure. She can only use the side opening into the hide instead of the one in top. I dipped a few meal worms in water and coated them with calcium supplement tonight. I am hoping to see some improvement later, or at least not see it get worse. The others were received in trades for 09 baby kings and corns.

Here are what I think they are, please let me know your thoughts.



M1= murphys patternless

M2= tremper albino (different color eyes than the female)

F1= tremper albino

F2= Normal?

F3= no idea?

Not sure on the morphs bro but that female looks really bad. She is definitely malnourished and looks like has a serious calcium deficiency (which would explain the funny walking and bowed limbs). Good luck iding them and nursing them back to health!

Aside from coating the worms, you also can leave a small dish of calcium in there with her at all time. We do that with our breeders and will sometimes see them go over and just lick it at.

I do have a small container in there as well. I just wanted to make sure I seen her taking some in. I knew she needed it immediately.

I am lost about something. I am being told that the albino with the red slit in the eye is not a red eyed albino. While it may not be called that, when compared to the other albino, if its really an albino (which has brown or black eyes), they look red. When not in direct light, its a full circle of red. Maybe the red eyed albinos have nothing but red visible at all times? I will continue to read.
So much to learn.

Male 2 looks like a bell albino too me. Female two and three looks as if they are hypos, maybe a bit of tangerine colouring will come in. Only time will tell.

I have sent over 10 emails to some breeders asking for help. I am compiling my findings and will post them soon. Thanks for the help.

One thing I have found for sure is Female #2 is HYPO TANGERINE, het Tremper Albino. I knew she was bred by Lisa at Lisas Leos, so I contacted her.

The gecko does look to be a tangerine, I am just personally picky of what I call a tangerine.

Female #1 could also be a mack snow albino, the only way to truly find out would be to test breed it. I have some mack albinos that are darker, that look similar. But I have also seen a bunch of normal tremper albinos that look like that.
