What's the rarest leo morph? I know black pearl morphs are really rare, but are they the rarest? Do you have a rare morph? Also how rare is the Murphy's patternles and Mack snow tremper albino enigma? Thanks!

I did some Google searching, a couple times- it brought me back to this forum. :)
Funnily enough- The rarest Morph is the true WILD type. :) Truly devoid of any designer morphs. :)

However, it is tough to say which is TRULY the rarest morph. Because breeders have projects in the workings everyday and have come up with new morphs which no one else has. Also, something that used to be rare (albino's) have since been mass produced, really nothing is too rare.
Formally- I believe it would be the Black Pearl.

There is the PieBald, which is kind of rare

The Galaxy - very expensive and looks to be only sold by Ron Tremper

Sunrise Blazing Blizzard- I have never heard of this morph! lol. Must be rare, as its only tied to one breeder.

I found a Mack snow tremper albino enigma for sale, for $100. I would say its safe to say they are not rare!
I found a Murphy patternless for sale for $65, safe to say- not rare!

Rare or sought after?!?! Rarest in my opinion......Normal het for nothing!!!

The most desired as of late include:

White and Yellow...by itself and combos are coming out.

G Project
Extreme Emerine...by itself and a FEW people have Extreme Emerine Eclipse.

The Galaxy is/was a hugely debated morph as it does appear to be a Super Snow Eclipse. That's my 2 cents!

the problem with leos is that they breed like mice. What's rare right now won't be rare in the next season or two. It is indeed quite hard to come by real, verified true wild type leos with ZERO designer genetics in their bloodline. That's the only leos I work with any more.

I'm assuming you're looking for rare morphs to breed & sell yes? If so, sometimes rare morphs are not the best types of morphs to begin with. I say this because 1) you will spend premium price for them from the few breeders that have them, 2) a season later when you breed them, you will not be able to sell for even half of the price you paid them for because you are a new breeder, 3) most hobbyist don't spend that much money in the first place, rare morphs are a game between breeders, and last but not least, 4) a lot of the "rare" morphs aren't worth getting into, because they don't look much different from what's out there, and some are hard to work with such as enigmas. I would never recommend new breeders to breed enigmas, they're a handful and you will be surprised how many geckos you would have to put down (cull).

If you aren't a new breeder looking for rare morphs to breed, and just asking what rare morphs are out there... I'd say the upcoming W&Y (White & Yellow) have the most promise. People are still crossing W&Y with different genetics, they aren't perfected yet and we are promised that W&Y geckos will turn out to look like enigmas without the genetic defects of enigma syndrome. Now that's something worth getting excited about.

There are other rare morphs out there but they are sometimes rare only because breeders don't work with them. They aren't rare because they're hard to breed or produce. W&Y's right now are just getting into the prime of things, like I said they're just now crossing W&Y into various albino genes and genetics, and the linebreeding has just begun on some of them.

Xo posted a pic of a normal posted by Riverside in the 2nd post above. They are indeed rare these days, and I do remember they were what got me into leopard geckos hobby in the first place :)

Every one of them are gorgeous! I have to admit I haven't heard of some of them.

Mardy-No, I'm not interested in breeding, just got curious :)
