What Morph are these?

[Jess Jones]

My daughters had wanted some Leopard Geckos for awhile. When we went to get feeders for the snakes the local pet shop had what they were told was a breeding pair. He told me that he knew nothing about them and offered them to me for $40 for the pair. I've never had Leopard Geckos before and don't know a lot about them. We do have them housed together and have an incubator if needed.

So the question is what morph are these? This pic was taken after getting them home while still in the plastic box.

they are hypo's

if in fact you do have a pair you will need a lay box and an incubator ready

they should be fine housed together just be prepared to have to seperate them. males can get "obsessed" with breeding,

females can be stressed by the males as well as needing to recover from laying

keep an eye on them and if you notice one loosing weight, not eating or obvious sighns of stress you may have to

i kept mine on a staple diet of mealworms and they were fat and happy, wifey would not allow roaches of any kind in the house lol

good luck

Thanks. I've got them in a 20 gallon tall with a hide box , shallow water dish and a shallow meal worm dish also.

I will have to read on sexing them and check to see if I do actually have a pair. I have the incubator all ready and will be adding a nesting box later tonight. Both are eating and doing well. If it turns out I don't have a pair my daughters will still be very happy either way.

Thank you for your help.

there is a sticky on sexing leos or do a google images search "leopard gecko male female"

From looking online I do indeed have a pair. So I made sure I had a nesting box in for her. I changed around the cage a bit to make it easier for them and myself. Cleaning is much easier now. Didn't take them long to explore the nesting box. She is now staying in there for the most part. How"s it look?

Looks great and that will work

I would recommend a few changes though.
It's advise I would give to all my customers.
It's up to you to keep how you like this is what worked for me

Leos may eat the sand. In the wild it aids in digestion.
In captivity there is a possibility of impaction, black and white newspapers
Make a good choice it's readily available and easy to clean,
cheap though not as nice looking.
The other one would be "cage carpet" sort of an Astro turf looking stuff

Remove the drift wood Leos are terrestrial not really climbers in that size
tank it would give them a little more leg room, in a bigger tank you could add it
Once again just my opinion

Thanks. I was reading about the sand and about the possibility of impaction also. I made sure to get the finest sand that I could get to lower that chance as much as I could. I had been thinking about changing to some plain paper I have. I put the driftwood in just for the purpose of climbing up on the nesting box and getting down from it. Thanks again, I do appreciate the help.
