Probably a Tremper Albino, but a picture of the eyes would tell us right away. It's a very skinny leo, I do hope it's eating well.

Welcome to the forum, by the way, I have several links in my signature that I think you might find useful. Smile

Well we actually just bought them today and yesterday so i'm honestly not too sure if they're eatng right. They did say that they were babies so maybe thats why i dont know. They said because they're babies we have to feed them once a day and we bought a 30 thing of crickets and 100 meal worms with the calcium powder and they still wont eat, haven't seem them eat yet. I don't know if its because of how we have the tank set up i dont know. We have the light on right now and its 1:11 pm im hoping thats what im supposed to do thats what the package says but once again i dont know. If you can help please do so....I'll give an email and we can communicate through there if its easier for you. Thank you.

Like I said, if you'll read the first link in my signature "Proper Housing for Leopard Geckos", you'll get a great idea of what you need.

Welcome to the forum! I'm Kathryn Smile I hope we are able to help you with all your questions.

As Kodie said, an eye picture will help identify which albino morph it is. If you'd like to see the different albino morphs look here: http://www.leopardgeckoforum.com/t1467-morph-directory

What is your set-up like? It sounds like you are using a light for heat? If so, that isn't right. :P You need an UTH (under tank heater). Leopard geckos absorb heat through their stomachs, which helps to digest their food. If you could describe what your set-up looks like, we could help you a lot. Here is a link to check out, its got tons of info you should really know: http://www.leopardgeckoforum.com/t166-proper-housing-for-leopard-geckos

Are all three leos in the same tank? If so, I don't reccomend you do that. Its only a good idea to house leos together if you've had experience with leos before, as they can fight. As well, if you don't know the genders of the leos, you shouldn't keep them together. Males will fight, and female+male pairs can fight as the male may try to breed with an unhappy female. If you do keep them in the same tank you need an appropriate tank size for three leos (about 40-50 gallons when adults/ a bit smaller while they are juvies). As well, if you think one is sick, you should really be quarantining the sick one from the others for a minimum of a month (separating them from each other until you're sure they are healthy).

New geckos may take a few weeks to fully settle in to their new homes, as there are a lot of changes they have to adjust to. Offer food every day to them. Don't leave crickets in with your leos unattended; crickets have been known to nibble on leos O_O

Hope this helps some. Smile
