Meet our newest family members, 6 leopard geckos. 2 are adults, 2 juvies, and 2 babies. I know the morphs of some but am still trying to figure out the others, if anyone here knows them please let me know! :)

1. Daphine - I believe she is an albino (adult)

2. Dario - I believe a high yellow. (adult)

5. Garden - unsure of morph (juvie)

6. China - I believe also albino. She has an issue with retaining her shed on her nose, working on this with misting and a moist hide box. (juvie)

Nice. Of the ones you mentioned morph, I believe you are correct. No. 3 looks like a patternless, no. 4 looks like a normal, no. 5 looks like a high yellow. Just make sure they have a humid hide available and those sheds should improve.

I was kind of leaning toward those but was not sure, thanks! I have added humid hides. She started shedding the day after I got her and was having problems. She shed about once every 7-10 days. I have added the hide and it is improving. Thanks! :)

Pretty! So getting into geckos are you? I still have two very elderly males from when my children were young and had them as 4H projects.

I'm the same way. I just love all reptiles and have for years. I don't understand why most people don't!

I don't either! I had a friend tell me they almost didn't right me a message on Facebook because my profile pic was of me and my red tail boa! I just don't get it. My husband was deathly scared of snakes when we met, I had to give my corn to my parents, he wouldn't allow it in the house. Now we have 8 snakes (an not small ones)! haha

My husband isn't in love with reptiles like I am, but he doesn't mind them. He finds some interesting, some not so interesting. He doesn't mind them here, but he wouldn't keep any on his own. The thing is, I am so not someone you would think would love reptiles. I'm a 40 something woman with two kids and salt and pepper hair. I'm very conservative in appearance I guess, and I'm a "rule follower" type person. I work at an elementary school. But I love lizards, snakes, and tortoises/turtles!!

I am glad to hear that about your hubby! Makes life a lot more fun, when spouses/significant others like our critters.

Alright so my one little one with the shedding problem is still having a problem. I have a humid hide, which she stays in pretty much constantly. I was working with her to get the shed off her head and she started to shed again. So then there were two layers of shed on her head, I got one off and am working on the second. I am not sure what else to do to help her. I have the hide, I soak her in warm water and rub a wet q-tip over the shed to ease it off. Anyone have any more tips/ideas?

I got mine from a local reptile store here in town. PetCo and PetSmart usually always have them though. Or if you have any local reptile stores check with them.
