Please Help ID my Leopards

[tncorns]

Ok I have been Breeding these Leopard Geckos and I have some eggs about to hatch soon. And before I sell The babies I wouls like to make 100% sure I am calling these correct. I have done alot of research and believe they were correctly Id to me when I bought them, but would really like your input to make me feel better. I would hate to sell someone something that wasn't correctly Id. So here are some pictures of them and if you need more pictures let me know it want be any trouble. And if you could give each one a grade from 10 being really good and 1 being correct morph but just so so. Please keep in mind that they have been breeding since mid Dec. and there weight is alittle low.

First one here was sold to me as a Hypo Tangerine. First picture is a eye shot and the others are body shots.

I had a Hypo Tangerine leo a while back and she looked nothing like yours. Mine had little to no pattern (very faint 'saddles') throughout her entire body till it got to her tail which was somewhat like yours. Lemme dig up a picture of her.

[Jay_Bunny]

Man, now that I dug up this picture, I'm missing her. I sold her to make room to expand my mouse colony and now her tank is occupied by our new pinstripe ball. *sigh* I miss her now. Darn! Now I want to go out and get another leo. But I shall resist!

Yes, they are all correctly ID'd. The Hypo Tangerine looks semi-dark with quite the spotting, but he's still a Hypo Tangerine. He looks very unique! Also, it looks like he has some stuck shed on his face in that first picture.

The Tremper Albinos are both ID'd correctly as well. They look nice! The "third" one (second Tremper Albino) looks like she has a "soft" color to her. I think it looks great!

Good Luck with them!

If you want, I can post pictures of my Super Hypo Tangerine Carrot-Tail and my Super Giant Tremper Albino...

Yours looks like a Super Hypo Tangerine, possibly even Carrot-Tail. Very nice looking! If theirs had no spotting, it would be a Super Hypo Tangerine...

I think Eric is correct about it just being a dark tangerine.

I've been missing having leos too, so I'm in the process of buying a young adult female RAPTOR with two solid red eyes. Once I pick her up I'm sure I won't be too far away from having a couple of nice trios here.

Hey I just went to Geckos ETC. Herp site. And the color of my male and the one they have for sale are the same. So is my male a Jungle Mack snow tremper albino like the one in there picture. Here is the link to a picture of there Mack snow tremper that is for sale. If not please explain the diffrence.

The picture came from this link at the bottom. The gecko number is MSTF5

I don't think your male tremper albino is the same as the jungle mack snow TA. First, bec. the pattern of your gecko isn't jungle, but simply normal. And second, they may simply look alike, but your gecko has no mack snow genes (w/c is co-dominant). I really boils down to what your gecko's parents look like.. it's the only sure way of telling whether your gecko is TA or MSTA. In any case, you've got a beautiful gecko Best of luck with the hatchlings!

[tncorns]

Oh yeah he is great. Thanks. I just wanted to make sure I was iden. him correctly. I now have a very moody little baby from him and my hypo girl. It is going to be a normal but I just posted this so I can say what it will be het for. Man they are just ill tempered as hell when they first hatch. I have been bitten more by this little guy than I have been bitten by any of my lizards or snakes. I incubated it at 79 to 80 degrees to try for females and to stay away from hot leos. But I think I may have messed up and created a monster here. Can anyone tell me how long it will take before she will cool her jets and get laid back like my adults are.

[bignasty]

hahaha! Hatchlings tend to be like that. I bought a hatchling (nearly juvie) and a juvenile before and they were crazy aggressive! I don't know when they'll tame down, but mine are still crazy! Now, the hatchling (which is already juvie) isn't as aggressive as before, but the other one.. despite growing 2x the size I bought it, is still aggressive and doesn't want to be handled. I don't know if I'll be able to tame them.. and I don't know when they'll be able to tolerate us, but people tell me they calm down when they reach subadult or adult size. Don't worry.. you're not alone! haha

[tncorns]

OK, I now have a problem. A egg has hatched from the breeding of the two Albinos pictured above. The hatchling came out normal color. Black and yellow with a black and white tail. So this tells me that one of them is not a Tremper. Is there any visual diffrence between the three strains of albinos on the market to help me figure out which one is not a tremper. I really wanted some trempers so I could start phase two of my project. Or is it possible to breed two trempers and get normals out of it ??? I am still waiting on the other egg to hatch. Please help so I can get to looking for a new partner for one of them. Thanks
