[MK Geckos]

Hey guys,

I’m relatively new when it comes to Coleonyx variegates subspecies and different morphs and I would like to get a better understanding of them. Currently I have two Coleonyx variegates which were sold to me as Tucson Banded Geckos (C.v.bogerti).


One of the biggest questions I have with the subspecies is how do you tell them apart without knowing the historical background on an individual gecko, if it’s possible.

Morph wise it seems there is only a few different morphs:
Hypomelanistic
Albino
Patternless (Phases, morph or colour to Coleonyx variegatus)
Striped (Phases, morph or colour to Coleonyx variegatus)
Leucistic (Phases, morph or colour to Coleonyx variegatus)

For Morphs, do they appear in all Coleonyx variegates or only in some subspecies? Also does anyone have pictures of a Patternless, Leucistic, or Stripe Coleonyx variegates?

Thank you for your help,

Kyle Johnson
