I’d say:

  1. male dalmation harlequin with portholes
  2. probable female and possible extreme tricolour but would need to see pics of it fired up before I would commit to extreme tricolour as it may not be either and may be portholes.

Would also be good to see their dorsal too if possible

1 is a harlequin Dalmatian partial pin. Or it’s a low expression tri. Can we have more images.
2 is a tricolour pin dash.

Can you add images of both sides and back. :blush:

Female is a tricolour pin dash.
Male is a tricolour partial pinstripe Dalmatian :blush:
They’re both just lower expression tricolours.
Nice pair there :grin:

Very nice looking Cresties, loving the colours.

I have a different opinion when it comes to tri-colours, in my opinion if the three colours are not equal amounts throughout the laterals then it doesn’t class ( again just my opinion)

Female - I’d say pin dash, extreme harlequin (low expression) with portholes
Male - I’d say partial pin, dalmation, harlequin with portholes

I do not class portholes as part of the tricolour trait.

I’m not saying @ghoulishcresties is wrong, just my opinion and how I’d expect to sell/receive a gecko.

If they have 3 colours, regardless of amounts they’re tricolours imo. Like with high white tricolours, they’re not equal amounts as most is white, with hardly any base or orange, but they’re still tricolours.
These are just low expression tris.
I’ve had low, medium and extreme expression now, if there wasn’t white near the belly then I wouldn’t say tri but there is so I’m still saying tricolour here. I have a VERY low expression baby here, and also one I thought was a Harley until last shed and lots of white appeared all of a sudden. But with 2 tri parents I expected it.

I wouldn’t say female is extreme either, I have a quite a few extremes here myself and pattern should be higher right near the top for an extreme, And or up and over in my opinion!

And I’m not classing the portholes as part of the tri. They both have the white there, and as they grow it may come out more. But for now they’re low expression. Keep us updated as they grow @mercer78 :blush:
