Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I need some info about leopard gecko morphs.
I need help determining what morph and what type these leopard geckos are I know they are albino but that's about it and the yellow one has rust colored or orange-ish eyes. Thank you to anyone that can help.

Like I said in your other thread, the banded one is a Bell albino. The one with the water droplet spots on its back is definitely a patternless, and may be an albino patternless. I can't see its eyes clearly enough in the last photo to definitely call it an albino.
Both the albino and patternless traits are recessive. However, if the patternless is an albino it's probably a Tremper albino patternless gecko, not a Bell albino patternless. Tremper albino and Bell albino are two different strains of albino and should not be crossbred to avoid contaminating the lines. If you breed a Tremper albino to a Bell albino you get all normal babies that are heterozygous for both traits, which is not desirable.

what would be good to cross with both of them down the road and thank you i didn't know that pattern was called banded so that takes care of that and what do i look for in the eyes of the leucistic patternless one to tell if its a Tremper albino. thank you your info has been amazing so far i hope im not bugging you.

The "banded" pattern in young leopard geckos is normal. Almost all leopard geckos hatch with bands, even the super hypo tangerines that eventually become a solid orange color. I bet that banded Bell albino will turn into a spotted adult.
As for the patternless, the Tremper albino strain is the most common out there, so it's the one you're most likely to pick up unless you're specifically looking for another albino strain. There are three types of albinos with leopard geckos: Tremper, Las Vegas (also called Rainwater), and Bell. All three are recessive traits, and all three do not produce albinos in the first generation when crossed with the other albinos (aka, all three albino strains are genetically distinct). A non-albino patternless gecko will have black veins in the eyes. An albino patternless gecko will have red veins. Do a google image search for some examples, there are lots available.

OK i will do that thank you, and if my banded is going to change patterns when could that happen and what would be good to breed with both of them down the road to produce some beautiful geckos thank you very much.
