Hey guys, today I picked up an enclosure with four leopard geckos in it for 100 bucks at the flea market. The guy selling it said he was just trying to get it off his hands. He said they were fancy leopard geckos from Petsmart. Was wondering if someone could help identify Morph types, please. Each picture is a different gecko.

So 2 things regarding the morphs. I say normal pet quality because this is the average quality you tend to see as a normal in the pet trade. They are much brighter than the typical wild leopard gecko. The albino, there are three strains of albino. They are impossible to tell apart from each other, but most do tend to be tremper albino.
regarding the health of your geckos. They all look pretty chunky except for the normal. They’re a bit thinner than the others, but I would still consider them a healthy weight.
The fact that it looks 2 have fully regrown tails and the albino looks like they may have a partially regrown tail is a bit concerning.
I would definitely make sure that you don’t have multiple males. Males will fight and that may be part of the reason they had dropped tails or the other is somewhat thinner. The other thing is, even if you have multiple females, I would be very cautious continuing to cohabitate this group being that they have already fought in the past. I also don’t recommend keeping them in pairs since one can always bully the other too much.
Cohabitation can be possible with leopard geckos, but it’s something that you really need to have experience with them beforehand to avoid things like the dropped tails or bite wounds. I 've seen some gnarly wounds from people who claimed they were ‘fine’ for a long time.
