You have some absolutely insane animals for being a noob! Absolute eye candy :star_struck:

First appears to be a lily white tricolor that is will make an amazing breeder!

I am not even going to try for the second one :sweat_smile:

3rd is a harlequin with dal spots

4th appears to be a phantom with tigering

5 th is a harlequin high % pinstripe pos het EB

@foxreptile @ghoulishcresties do you guy have anything to add/ correct?

Thank you very much it was what i was thinking, both the first and second geckos are the same, morph whise, i was more indecise about the other ones and i was hoping i got a poss cap the “tiger” but its was just a hope, and the first Gecko is Zeus my Pride and Joy :grin:
They are 3 boys and 2 girls, the girls are the harlequin dalmation, and the poss empty back

  1. Lilly White
  2. Lilly White pos empty back
  3. harlequin/flame with snowflaking
  4. phantom with visible white pattern/portholes
  5. full pinstripe looks like maybe whiteout pattern and likely het eb

Some of it you’d have to prove them to know for sure - i highly doubt the 4th is a capp, but again youd have to prove it to know :blush:

If you’re interested you should check out foundation genetics on LMReptiles’ website! There’s also some great groups on FB that are a bit more specific to each trait if you want to know more about something specific like EB or lilly white :blush:

No worries! Crested gecko morphs specifically can be difficult to get a hang of cause the understanding of their genetics is so new - the first properly researched guide wasn’t released until 2020 iirc! And they’re polymorphic, so the same traits can show up slightly different depending on trait interactions/lines, and there are traits that can be difficult to tell apart cause they’re so similar. On top of that because the understanding of the genetics is so new, people are still getting used to it versus the “old” ways of looking at them, so you could get two different answers from two different people, and both could be correct they’re just different ways of looking at it :sweat_smile:

Very nice looking Geckos, sorry for delay. I’ve not been available.

Does anyone else think the last gecko is looking like a soft scale? Might just be me looking at the pics in darkness though

The newest research on softscale suggests that it is recessive, and what is associated with the softscale-look might actually be something else entirely or at least a combo - the people doing the research have animals that have proven super softscale that don’t have “the look”, as well as animals that look SSS but have proven to not have it. So at this stage I wouldn’t assume anything as (super) softscale unless you have macro-photos to show the extra spacing :thinking: Check out Giuliana’s geckos and Geckoharmony on insta if you wanna read more about it!

Thanks, but I’m not on Instagram.

I have 2 soft scales that I bread last year and I’m hoping one of the babies is a super, but I do struggle, so I’m waiting till they get older.

It can be tricky determining with these ones

Edit*
I also have a gecko that is super soft to touch, but not a soft scale so this info is interesting

Ahh ok, Giuliana’s geckos also has an article on her webpage, it might help identifying them😊
