What would be a good mate for this cresty, she’s a female

She has some harlequin or pixel and a little bit of Dalmatian and could also be considered a “phantom” morph.

P.s. if any experts would like to clarify her specific morph feel free.

I doubt she’s a phantom, too much white. Also doesn’t look like any of the proven pixel lines. She does seem to have this faded dorsal look that ive seen around, not sure if it’s anything or if it’s just a variation of harlequin… Do you know how old she is?

She is six years old

Do you know how she looked when she was younger? I wonder if some of her looks simply has to do with age, since a lot of older harlequins end up looking quite faded

This is her really young

Her dorsal still looks cool, but it does look like she was more orange back then, although still not super bright, so id definitely take that into consideration if i was breeding her.

That being said, as i tell most people, you really should breed based on what you like personally. Don’t breed just because you can, and always have an idea of what you’d like out of a specific pairing. If you like geckos like her, then something similar, but maybe without spots, could work. If you like pinstripes or high orange tricolours, then maybe she’s not a good breeding prospect in your case. It would also be a good idea to get really into their morphs and genetics so you have an idea of what you’re working with, and how to spot potential. LMreptiles has a pretty decent guide on their webpage, called foundation genetics!

Personally i would go for something similar to her (but preferably without spots), or a lilly white with less pinstriping.

I would do a harlequin or extreme harlequin. Definitely avoid geckos with dalmatian spots to clean up her lines but sge is very pretty.
