I've got a little 2 month old called Syke, any idea of what morph he is? 
What morph is my crested gecko???
- Thread starter Riverside Reptiles
- Start date
Hey everyone just got my first crested gecko a week ago at a local reptile show and was curious on everyone's thoughts on his/her morph. I definitely think he/she is a harlequin but is there enough patterning to be described as an extreme? Halloween? It also looks like he/she might be horned. Currently weighs 8 grams so I'm wondering how much change I should be expecting in color/pattern. Figured this is would be an appropriate first post hah Thanks!!
photos are of both fired up and not

Can you guys tell what my little ziggy is? I've had it for almost a week now but not sure what the morph is someone said brindle I'm kind of leaning that way also I'd love to hear your guys' input thanks in advance

@ JMims I think so, but I'm pretty new to cresties myself. If its not, maybe a flame type, but either way its very pretty.

I think that the members who were doing most of the identifying have other things to do and no one else is stepping in to take some of the burden. I'm just enjoying my cresties regardless of morph.

Is the gecko fully fired in your photos? My Slider has similar coloration and I too am a little confused. He has been called a Lavender Harley (unfired); when semi fired, his dorsal and belly regions are golden, while his base is a slate grey; and fully fired he is what some people on here have classified as a blonde harlequin (creamy/white dorsal and sides with a dark, almost black base)

Not really sure. He has characteristics of a flame but has interesting stripes along his abdomen (tiger characteristics?). Have you any side pics of him? I am new to all this and just trying to apply what i've learned. I'm stumped by one of my guys too!! Also, it helps if the pictures show the gecko fully fired.

Brindle has broken darker stripes along its belly and a phantom pinned has scales along the dorsal margin that are not white but rather are of the base coloration. Have a look at the following links to help decipher your Crestie's morph

Have another look at this link:
Crested Gecko Morph Guide
I'm not really sure; sometimes he might be tiger (apparently brindle is a tiger extreme) or because the pattern on the photos look subtle to me it could be patternless. Have a look at the examples listed in the above link to see what I mean. Hope it doesn't confuse you even more LOL
