Pictus Morphs

Hey, I am thinking of getting a pictus gecko sometime soon. I've done my research and everything, and am getting to the stage of choosing a gecko.

What I am a bit fuzzy on is the actual morphs that pictus geckos have, like. I know their names, but haven't seen many good pictures, even though I've searched these forums and google.

I know that there are morphs such as red, xanthic, anery, striped, red striped, white striped, banded, red banded etc (there's probably more I don't know about!)

So, I guess I was just wondering if you could post pics of your pictus geckos and tell me what morphs they are.

Thanks!

I don't have any. So I can't post any pics for you. But I know for a fact that there's some great pics of various morphs in here. You just need to search a bit more. Dig a little deeper. They're here...I promise.

I have done lots of searches of these forums, and Google, but the only ones I can find are snows, xanthics and wildtype normals, which unfortunately aren't the morphs I'm interested in.

I'm more looking for reds, bandeds, stripeds, anerys etc.

Well again, all I can tell you is that through the years, I've seen multiple posts here with many pictures of all types of various morphs. I don't have the time to find them for you though. That part you'll need to do for yourself. Good luck with your search.

Actually, I forgot, I do have one picture of one of the rarest of all of the pictus morphs...the psychedelic rainbow morph:

Yes, I seem to remember seeing you post the same image of this 'rainbow' morph on the thread of another person who asked a similar question but could not find their answers through searching the forums. I'm not the only one. The only threads of pictus morphs that I can find are of xanthics, snows and normals; I can't find any reds, red bandeds, stripeds or anerys, hence me asking here.

Dig deeper...I found this thread within about 30 seconds of searching:

I've already seen that thread, but that is one of the only ones I can find. I have yet to find other threads of red stripeds, red bandeds, stripeds and anerys though, hence me calling out to P.pictus keepers via this thread. I have looked

i would'nt start calling them morphs, there are some colourvariations in the picta, but i think at the moment there are only normals, striped and xantics.
the rest are just a bit colour variations, thast can happen in every cross.
by giving ebvreything a name again, it just adds to the confusion of starting breeders.
