Default found a crestie

Hey everyone!
Found this lil guy (maybe a girl) in my area. I'm curious the morph, and also if the colors would be good for breeding. I want to get into tiger morphs eventually.
Thanks for any advise!

I can't see any tiger stripes from the picture. It looks like a "harlequin"(spell check please)
with dalmation spots and from the mom and dad genetics would point to that too
he's a cute little guy if he's in your area like you said I would pick him up right away.

Nope, no tiger in it!
I just meant that in the near future the tiger morph is a morph I would like to work with.
I mentioned it hopeful for advise that this morph might be a good breeding mate with a tiger...

If your goal is to produce tigers, then you're much better off starting off with two of the nicest tigers you can find and afford.

This baby is a flame with a few dalmation spots. It's cute but not a gecko that I personally would breed, as it's a very "low end" morph and nothing unusual about it's patterning or colors, so you'd likely have a hard time finding good homes for the offspring.

I generally base some of my breeding ideas on the body structure and temperament of the gecko,then look at what color i can put into it.There's a lot more trial,error,and personal education that goes along with breeding.It does tend to start w/lauralee's idea...
