1 male HY(Winky), 1 Tang female(Sunshine), and 1 Tremper Albino female(Serenity)

Is there any other ways of sexing leos?

Not really.....once they are old enough it is pretty apparent whether a leo is male or female. When buying young leos, always ask what temp they were incubated at. This will give you a good idea regarding what sex the babies will be.

I bought three albinos that were supposed to be females and were incubated at 83.Well one is a male for sure and i just want to know if the others are males or females.I was bying these to breed next year.The leos are 3 monbths old 20-25 grams, and i can tell one is a male already.Can you use sexing probes like with snake?

I really don't trust sexing probes unless they are in the hands of a person who has done it many many times before. If they were incubated at 83 they should all be females, although it is possible you have a male on your hands. You can't be 100% certain it is a male until it has the two definite bulges and large femoral pores which leos rarely show at that age. At 3 months females and males look pretty much the same. I would NOT probe the leos, it is too dangerous for them. Just wait and see what happens...you may not end up with what you bargained for but that's the fun of buying baby leos, you don't KNOW what you will get.

I purchased the Leos last month and i would have to say they are 3 months old and between 20-25 grams.One is a male for sure,i would like to know if the others are males also because i have these housed together in a 20 gallon.Can you sex leos with probes like snakes?

Baby leos become sexable at around 4 months of age. Even at this age however, they are still young and only the very experienced seem to have an easier time of determining whether a leo is male or female. I could not properly sex my leos till they were over 6 months old.

you don't need to be very experienced to sex them at 4 months, assuming they are sexable. some leos wont be sexable at 4 months, most will. if it's a male at 4 months you usually will be able to see the pores, but maybe not the bulges. if it's female at months old, it isn't really sexable because it might just be a late blumming male.
