I got both of them from a local pet store(sadly).
They do have little bits of stuck shed on them, I’m hoping more humidity and their moist hides will help them with it.
By the looks of them I believe they’re from the same clutch (1-3months old).
They were both tempered in the same cage, I’ve been watching them to see if they’ll ever need to be separated.
I’m not very well diverse into knowing my morphs yet, I’ve had an easier time learning my Beardie’s morph(citrus).
All I know is that they’re not the regular yellow I usually see or albino’s, for all I know they could be regular Gecko genome.

They’re still looking pretty stressed so the colors won’t be quite right. Also the lighting is a bit tough to judge them in. Near an open window in natural light will help.
Looks to be a hypo on the left and a normal (pet quality) on the right.
I say pet quality because the leopard gecko market has been so oversaturated that having what would be considered high yellows 20 years ago are now sold as plain normals.
Wild type is typically more spotted and dusty yellow

Thanks for the response, I know they’ve been stressed.
The photo I took was on the 2nd day I got them because one of my family members wanted to see them and I had no clear photos.
(Besides them basking on their rock and on top of heat mat area in the dark)
I’ve got them to be pets so I’m not too concerned about them being pet quality or not, it was just a itching curiosity since I knew that boa and Leo’s can have names for patterns/morphs.
Right now I’m trying to have them settle in without a lot of interaction to scare them anymore, when they’re older I’ll be sure to send a update on them so you’d be able to verify.
Since I know that colors can change through time with shedding.
I’m also worried for the right one since they’re skinnier than their sibling, they do seem more comfortable with my hand being around so I hope I can feed them separately so they can appropriately eat a good meal.

Honestly… I would consider being prepared to separate them. There is a chance they end up being male and female or even worse is 2 males.
The stuck shed can already be signs of them nipping at each other as well. So keep an eye out for and little scrapes and such. Also they do vocalize when they get grumpy. So if they’re in an area you can hear them and you hear them barking/yelling and such I would definitely separate them.

Yeah I’m already preparing for that, right now their set up moved from basic paper towel to coco fiber. They have about 3 hides in a 20Gal together.
I’ve been watching their behavior without interacting too much with them. The right one is more brave while the left one is really skittish. They often sleep together not overlapping one occasionally goes to their own hide.
I haven’t seen them nip or make any sounds at all, especially when I move them to do maintenance.
Just the usual trying to quick get away and then calming down in my hand while I move them to the spare container.
They’re mostly just scared and wanting to run, not too used to the new environment or recognized me as a non threat.
The right one is getting quicker to learning I’m the food giver tho’.
They also haven’t started any territorial fights yet, sharing their basking spots not trying to dominate on top of the other.
But I’ll never know for sure if they will change when they mature.
I’m already looking for another cage to have just in case or make a DIY one out of a storage container if it happens too soon while I don’t have the money.

Forgot to say there’s also foliage for them to hide under.
