Two New Leopard Geckos

I was given these two leos from a pet shop local to me, the little enigma, Skye, had been there for several months as the shop wouldn't let her go to any old Tom, Dick or Harry, in fact when they first got her they immediately started calling her 'Amanda's Gecko' :laugh: I've only just been able to bring her home as I've moved into a bigger house and now have the space to keep her!

And this Tremper albino boy, Humperdink, was first given to the pet shop when the owner went to Houten show, as you will see from the photos, he has an overshot jaw and no toes!

They're in RUBs at the moment, but I'm picking up two vivs for them tomorrow, I was planning on using lino tiles as a substrate, but I'm open to suggestions if anyone has any input :) I read yesterday that leos love to dig (which they've proven to me with the Lygnocel) but then I've also read numerous times that they're prone to impaction from loose substrates, confused!
 
How is your enigma? They're so pretty, but the enigma syndrome thing concerns me. I guess I just don't know enough about it.
 
Thanks you two :) The syndrome doesn't affect her badly, I've entered her into the enigma study which has been set up by a breeder in the UK called Grinning Geckos, and according to their scale of 0-6, she's a 2 (0 being the best, 6 the worst) She's quite wobbly, which I must admit just adds to her cuteness :p she's steady on her feet but moves quite slowly compared to Humperdink, and when she's really stressed she does spin around, but I have only ever witnessed her do so when she first arrived at the shop. She eats and sheds perfectly on her own and is generally a very happy gecko! :)
