Color variety

[Spikeymonkey325]

Hello,
I am new to leopard geckos. These are still juvenile about 4 inches at this point, I think the one is normal color but am not sure what the other is. Any suggestions would be appreciated they have changed quite a bit since I got them. The one picture of the two together was from about 5 weeks ago.

Hard to judge and personally I don't wanna look. This information isn't really important unless you wanna sell and or breed them. They all spear to be very common so no worth much either way. You're probably just curious though. I'd wait until they've aged a year and are fully grown. Until then they'll constantly change and it's a tad of a pain to judge.

Yeah I was more curious than anything else. I don’t intend to get rid of them, but the variety they had available was very interesting. I had read that they change quite a bit in that first year so you’re probably correct that I cannot get a good idea until after then. Thanks

Okay so I looked real quick and the first appears to be a hypo and if all the spots on his body fade out he's a super hypo.

The other one I'm not sure about but it could be a bell? Or maybe just a regular wild type.

Thanks, I’m just trying to learn more about them and was curious what they might look like.

Theyre very common types, no problem. Really anything about them can be discovered quickly via Google

They can both be called "aberrant" because they have broken body bands (the bands that general go from side to side on the body) but not broken tail bands. The first one is a hypo so far, as mentioned above, and since it's orange, you could call it a tangerine. The second one you could call a high yellow because it's losing most of its black markings but not enough to be a hypo

Thanks. They’re my first leopard geckos I’m just amazed at the different morphs that are out there for them. Lots more personality and color than my plated lizard or uromastyx I had in the past.

Glad you're enjoying them Happy New Year.
