yes i would like to figure out what there morphs are. and thank you, 3 i got from petco, the baby was for adoption because it has 4 tail kinks. and the male was from a LPS as a rescue, previouse owners where starving him and cut almost all his toe tips off. he has maybe 5 nails total.

The biggest one appears to be a tremper albino, and the little one looks to be the same, but I can't quite see him/her. If you got eye shots of these two, I could tell you for sure what they are, as could many users here Smile The other two look like normals, which is common to get from petco/petsmart.

As for the bigger one being a giant, I'm not sure of what the length and weight has to be to be considered a giant. But for some reason I feel like he's not quite large enough, though I could be wrong. Smile

I say to high yellows and two trempers. With the lil one, its hard to tell cause I can't see its eye, and cause she is so small and skinny (hope your nursing her back to health!), but I still say tremper.

Thank you on the ID's. i just got her friday. i am so worried, she ate some of my baby mealies but puked them back up, i even made that slurry i read on another thread, same thing. from what i could tell she kept about half down. she has constant water but never touches it, but she will drink when i put her in a warm "bath" she has 4 tail kinks, the tip of her tail is just bone with scabs over it. Also the vet said she has slight calcium defecientcy. her worms are sprayed with calcium and so is her water, normally i only put the spray in the water since i found out it will easily drown the worms. She was deff a rescue, sadly came from the breeder in this condition. i am hoping she turns around like my male did, he was so skinny his tail was skin and bones and you could see every bone in his body like you can on the baby. but as you can see i got him fat and healthy....



got the first twos names mixed up X_x just reversed. and the baby is mostly walking around right now with its eyes fully closed.

On the topic of the giant question, I'd say probably no. They all look fairly symmetrical, rather than lanky and looking "pulled out" to be longer. If you knew that at one year of age, the male was over 90 grams and the female was over 70 grams, then I'd be more inclined to lean towards giant. But, my 5 month male is 9" long and currently 45 grams and my female is about 8.5" and 41 grams and their both poss. giant.

I'm actually quite inclined to say it may be a Giant.

The Giant gene started off in trempers, and its not that long ago since it was bred out of Trempers and isolated as a single gene. Because of this, the Giant gene is most common of course in Tremper Albino's.

Yours is obviously a Tremper Albino which although doesn't change much, it does increase the likelihood.

My next factor would be that is 100g and not at all podgy. Normally a leopard gecko which is 100g will have a large tail and nice beefy body, obviously these large parts are what is making said gecko 100g. Now your gecko doesn't really have that, it has a pretty average looking tail and body, meaning there is room to pad out.
Now if it doesn't have a large fat reserve and a big body, then the 100g weight must be coming from its overall size, which could indicate Giant.

All this being said however, your gecko cannot be labelled as Giant without being genetically proven. Gene's which can't be visually identified for certain, well, can't be stuck on the gecko's label for certain. Wink

Well the previouse owners said he is only 10-11months old. He was still small when they got him and only had him for 8 months. That's why I was wondering about the giant
