Got two cresteds

I got two crested geckos last Sunday at an expo. One is two months old and the other is 3 months old. Sorry I didn’t post sooner but my computer was having problems.
I don’t exactly know what morphs they are but I think one is a harly and the other is a red tiger.
They are eating a little bit of CGD every night now and they have both eaten several dusted crix.
They are a bit flighty, especially the older one. It’s hard to get some good pictures of them but I will try now.

Here is the 3 month old, I think he might be a Harly, but maybe just a flame.

Here is the 2 month old, I’m pretty sure he is a red tiger.

Here they are together, it kind of looks like they are kissing :D

Just for fun here is my month old female creamsicle corn snake that I got yesterday.

I won’t be naming them until I know what sex they are
Feel free to comment or ask questions :)

Nice looking animals you have there. :)

I’d say the first one is a harlequin, even though the patterning is very faint. It still has pattern on it’s sides, legs and back though, so it’s hard not to call it a harley. The colors may become a bit more bold as it matures or fires up, but I can’t say that just based on the photos.

The second one looks patternless by the pictures, but I just may not be able to see the tiger bars at all. Does it fire up a nice brick red then? That should be a great looking gecko as well.

Thanks :D
These pics were just taken about an hour ago, so they are not fired up.
The 2 month old turns a red/orange/brown color and has tiger striping at night, I’ll try and get some good pics tonight of them.

Here is the reddish crested gecko fired up, he has faint tiger markings.

This is their enclosure:

I still have to try to get some good pics of the other one, but his colors don’t change much.

I just got some good pics of the other one, he is a bit more orange and bolder at night.

Any suggestions for their enclosure, or any comments.

the one you think is a tiger looks like a brindle to me. im not sure tho.

the second one i would call a flame due to it not having hardly any markings on its sides or legs. if it has markings on the sides or legs then it is a harlequin.
