Pics of my new babies and a question or two.

Hi,

Well the pictures aren't great but they'll do. I got both of these at Petco for $24.00USD, I thought it was a pretty good deal, now I just need to get some meat on their bones. What do you think?

Ok, question...Obviously the albino is aplain yellow striped albino, but I'm curious about how to decribe the other. His broken strip behind his front legs is a little jungley, his nice rich yellow has really vague hints of orange in it and his tail has a tiny little carrot-ish orange mark on it. I don't think it's right to call him/her a jungle tangerine carrot-tail, but he/she is clearly not as plain as most of the others I've seen, how would you describe it?

Ok, a more important question - The albino is about 4" long from tail to head, and the other one is about 6". The albino seems much smaller and tonight got a vicious bite to the head during feeding. Is the albino too small to be in the same tank with the other one, should I take one back so I end of with two of the same size?

Sorry, couldn't figure out how to post multiple pics in one post. I tried using the tags, but it didn't work. Seems buggy, so I just used the field below for single pics.

yes, you should definatly seperate them. the 2nd one you got sounds normal. most geckos do have a little orange at the base of the tail. sorry, i can't say for sure, i didnt see the pics.
