Well everyone here are the new guys! Like promised!!
Well I hope you all like! I not exactally positive on what they are for sure and if any of you have any suggestions I would really appreciate that! I also know that they are fairly skinny if you read the post about 4 new additions in the leo section I pretty muched explained everything there about them and what's going on with them! I appreciate you all looking and I hope you enjoy!!
The 1 pic is of my male I got from alex hues this is ducky-(i showed him to you already I know but he's cute to!! haha)
The 2nd is of the female that the guy said had laid one clutch off eggs and he though was gaining weight (she weighs about 34 grams) She is bigger in the belly and looks like she has 3 oval eggs when you hole her up to the light---Any ideas on what she is?? Jungle? ALbino?
The 3rd is of my male that supposedly is breeding the 2 pic female....not sure if this is possible is very small (20-22 grams)---
The 4& 5th pics arre of the other females and they are quite similar one is a bit darker then the other---was told they were patternless albinos, not sure how true. Patternless yes, but don't know.
The rest are just all there good luck and enjoy!--sorry some came out dark and some blurry!!

They don't look skinny except for the small paternless ones.
That second female is not a jungle, looks like some sort of albino... rainwater perhaps but it's kind of difficult to tell just from the picture and without knowing her background. 34g is borderline underweight to breed. You should increase her food dosage and suplementation.
If that 3rd male is at least 5 months old, then it's quite possible.

Actually if you take a look at the website colleen has there, it looks like a giant temper jungle albino, but who knows if it's giant or not! haha. Yes I also know that 34 g is underweight, that's why I am soo mad at the guy who actually sold them to me. I expected 4 adult breeding geckos, and most of them are not even close to breeding, or shouldn't be because of weight!! Horrible what some poeple do. I also think that you are right on the patternless albino, i was checking everyone out real good last night and I will agree with that.
Ok so now my next question is if the male I have in the pic is about 24 grams at most and he is the supposed breeder. Then ducky my male in 1rst pic should be ready as well. He is actually about 30 g and alot fatter then the other male. I am not going to breed until they are all over 55g. purposely. I don't want anything to happen to them. I am actually quite upset about the female being 34g and prego. I also a getting wax worms today to try help fatten her up. I also know they only get fed as treats, so would like 3 every 2 days be ok b/c she is so under weight? Or is that too many? I have tons of mealies and tons of crix and she eats them well. I also am getting calcuim dishes for them all today as well. Can I crush up pure calcuim pills and use those?? Is this ok or no? Thanks everyone!
Thanks I love ducky he is a trip and a half!! haha
I also wanted to know if anyone had any input about this...haha.....GRRRR.......
Well they are on paper towels now but the subtrate he had them on was a loose like bird seed but not bird seed. Anyways they were eating it and now one has pooped just that stuff out. None of the others pooped except the 1 female patternless, she pooped/peed on me in the car when I first held her! Haha but hers was normal! Will I just have to hope they will all just pass this **** in time, and just wait and see??
Thanks as well leomom----nice web page it helped too!!

You have them so you can be the judge of that better than anyone else but I would ask the previous owner where do they come from and try to trace their lines from that.
Were their housed together before? And now?
No, I don't think that's a good idea. A pregnant female needs much more than extra fat for successful breeding. Pumping her up on waxies won't solve any calcium deficiency she might have now. Pinkies are a much better choice, not only because of their high protein values but also because they score very high on calcium!
If it's pure calcium, yes, I think you can use them.
Oh and what's "prego"??!!

Well if it was a giant it wont reach its full size. Its most like a tremper albino. Thing with Leopard Geckos its hard to tell what they are unless you buy them from the breeder their selves. Its hard to look at a pic and go thats that and that and so forth.
Sexual maturity isnt by weight. Its by age. If the male is 5 months I highly doubt it. It might be possible.
Aslo if your trying to fatten for breeding, I took my Leopard Geckos out last week sometime and gave them each 15 waxworms the 3rd day temps were back up and then crickets. Now they are together, eating what every I throw in, and running around crazy.I would too if it I went from a 2 ft tank to a 4ft tank lol
Prego is pregent

I'm actually not sure if a pinky is ok, i think it maybe to big for her.. I am not positive about them being housed together but I think so. He gave them to me all in one container, with a hide and stuff but not sure if that's what they were kept in. No they are definetly not together anymore, they all have there own home, they are on paper towels. Awesome, i will crush the pills up at lunch for them all. I never believed in the calcium, but everyone here pushes it, and I have done allot of research that says yes, and some say you don't "have" to but I think it's a great idea!
Sorry I abbreviated again---it's pregnant! I'm sorry!
That's what I thought moogle that it was by how old they are not by grams but this dummy kept telling me weight and ****, i know as long as they are old enough and 55g it should be ok to breed-better to be over 55 but it's ok. Thanks
What is actually age leo's are ok to breed? I also heard that 1 year is not good should wait till 2nd year because egg bound chances are less for 2nd year??
