I am a bit stumped...
I got two new male leos on Monday from a reptile zoo semi-close to me. Their leos were all on sale so I decided to get two. I originally went to get a new breeder leo, but decided when I saw these guys to just get some more pet leos. lol
Anyway, they don't have names yet. But I can't for the LIFE of me, figure out what morphs they are. I've looked online and still can't figure it out, so any help would be appreciated.
The first one, is definitely an albino. I'm thinking bell, but I'm not positive. I don't have an eye pic at this point, but I'm gonna get my friend to take a pic of the eye (she has a wayyy better camera than me) this weekend I hope.
The second one is the one I am really stumped on. He almost acts enigma-ish. He doesn't have any black on him, just brown, which makes me think he's got albino in him. His eyes are red. The pupil is red, and then he has red veins in his eyes. I kinda got a picture of his eyes.
Thank you for any help, I appreciate it!

That first one looks bell to me as well. Looks just like my boys momma and she was bell. The second... I've seen that type of eye and morph before but for the life of me it's evading me at the moment... I thought it was a tell tale sign for bells tho... sorry kiddo This link should help... decent pix and descriptions of your basic morphs http://www.paulsagereptiles.com/LeopardGenetics.htm
Re: I am a bit stumped...
They both look bell to me, some would classify the second one as a bell sunglow if the band disappears as it ages.
Re: I am a bit stumped...
Thanks guys!
So number one is definitely a bell. I thought so. I thought he was a boy, but I'm starting to think he is actually a she. He is still settling in, so I don't want to bug him too much to check. But once I do, I'll let you know
Number two seems to be a bell as well. I asked Jordan, and he said it could be an enigma, but that can be figured out by the way he acts. So he's either a bell enigma or a bell sunglow.
I was originally going to keep these two as pets, but I may test breed them to see what the second guy is. I'm not sure yet.... I don't want to breed just any two pet store leos though. Decisions decisions...

AAAH you got moreeeeeee! <3 Congrats! That's awesome! And I thought I had my hands full with 2 leo's and 3 bettas. ;D Silly me. :P They are gorgeous! I agree, Bell to the first. I want to say the second is an albino of some sort also, but it also looks hypo on the body so I am just thoroughly confused. O_o Hehe. But they are awesome! You're collection is quite extensive and very beautiful. Goodness, you have quite a few pets! I saw your new beardie too, she's very gorgeous, and what a little fighter! Congrats again!

Haha, Thank you!
The challenge is coming now that I am going back to school on Monday. Hopefully I will be able to keep up with school and all my little babies :P
He is a puzzler isn't he? LOL
And my beardie says thank you!

Congrats on going back! I'm sure you will be able to. He is indeed a puzzler! I am no good with morphs anyway, but usually I can place them at least generally. Not with him though! And hehe, your welcome beardie. Did you name him/her yet? I'd name her Velvet, because she's so dark and rich in color. <3 Or if it's a boy, Onyx, like the gemstone. ;D
