Stripe or No Stripe

[lifeshighways]

I've been noticing more and more of my wee ones (less than 4mths old) are developing this solid white stripe down their back - at first I was all excited that my babes were going to be "stripe" geckos but the more I see it appear in all the babes the more I think maybe that's just normal - my blizzards are even developing a stripe right down the center of their spine... any ideas

Some people call it a "dorsal stripe" because it's on the dorsal (back) side of the gecko. If you look carefully, most geckos have a sort of pattern that can be mirror image from one side of the back to the other. There's even a faint groove down the back in a lot of them. When it's more prominent, people talk about a dorsal stripe, but, unfortunately, it has nothing to do with the stripe morph.
