confuzed about crested gecko

[Annie]

I got my crested gecko maybe about a month ago. In the shop I was told he (maybe a she) is a flame morph. I have looked on the websites to identify them but he doesnt seem to fit into any category. If anyone could help my identify which morph he is that would be great
I have attatched a picture (I think, i am new to this)

Crested Gecko Morph Guide - Gecko Resource Forums

^ that page really helps I think.

Personally, I think he/she may be either a Chevron, Brindle/Harlequin, or Portholes (<-- Im not sure if that last one is an actually morph type, but thats what those spots in a row on his/her side is called).

Hope the link helps!

thanks for replying i thought i was missing something realy obvious. Do you think it may be easier to identify as he gets bigger?

baby crested usually will change color as they grow into adult

ok thanks guys I think I am going to say he is a tiger or brindle until someone corrects me lol

It's hard to tell with just the side picture. But something like that I'd call a blonde chevron tiger. He won't be changing his colors or pattern. Babies wont change pattern. Sometimes hues in their body color will lighten or darken, and with dalmation spotting you will get more spotting with age but for the most part they come out looking pretty darn similar to what they keep as adults.

Tiger/Harlequin? with portholes. That is what i think =P

 

[Annie]

yeah I am now thinking something like a tiger, thanks. Silly shop! what other angles would help? a pic from above? :roll:

 

[Annie]

I know this pic isnt much better, he doesnt have his stripes here I guess he is fiered up it is at night just thought id share it

yeah it looks like a chevron tiger with portholes. That is a nice gecko. Porthole aren't that common.

 

[Annie]

thanks and cool I didnt even know that!
