What morph is my crested gecko???

[CrestedRick]

Aimless, do you agree on the red flame morph suggested by Sikorae?

 

[Aimless]

of course. Julie has a lot more experience than I do!

 

[CrestedRick]

Ok thanks ladies! Just would like to say I have this ****morph. I'm going to email my breeders and ask for the morphs of both of their parents.

 

[Leolvr]

Can anyone tell me what these two girls' morphs are? Please?
And Patty laid more eggs today.

 

[Aimless]

hey LL - I think your red girl is a tiger. if you have pictures of fired up and fired down for contrast it may help. for that second girl, the picture is so blurry there's no way to know. can you please try to post a picture that is more clear, and closer?

VanderWaals, I think your gecko is a tiger. horned? I wouldn't say he has big enough crests, but then I'm notoriously conservative. age? it's anyone's guess. they have such wildly variable growth rates.

bonus41, my guess for your geckos is flame. it's possible there's enough pattern for harlequin, but we would need better pictures from the side to be certain. they're both so young, I would wait a few months and then post fired up and fired down photos. if you need to sell them right away, you're mostly selling on potential.

 

[Leolvr]

Thanks Aimless , heres the pics of the second one. I think she was flamed up during the first picture, not too dark in these.

 

[Aimless]

I'd call her a dalmation harlequin. she's almost a creamsicle with that lovely dorsal marking. can you try to get a more clear fired-up picture?

 

[Leolvr]

Sure I will try to remember the next time I see her like that. She mated with my dalmation and we have 4 eggs right now. Here's my dalmation, Natty Probably not the best combo, him and Patty, but that's ok.

Wait if size of crests make them "horned" I need to get a good pic of my cresties crests.

I was under the impression that "horned" referred to the fact that the gecko has two "extra long" crests at the widest point of their head. If you look at my gecko's head the point on either side of his head has two little spikes that stick out quite a bit more than the rest of his crest "spikes." Someone please correct me if I have the definition of "horned" incorrect! I'm trying to learn these things but there's so much variety!

 

[Aimless]

Am I confusing it with crowns? Possibly. Most of the cresteds I've seen have horns, then. Is that an actual "morph" ? Can it be bred for?

 

[CrestedRick]

Not sure but you're confusing me for sure lol

So I finally got a couple for cresties, I really didn't give them cute names I just called them Stubs and Tails since they were only about a month old when I got them and I wasn't sure of the sex. I believe they are both dalmatians, tan base color and just a few small black spots. Last weekend I went to the Toronto reptile show and picked up another crestie, supposed to be a male, that I believe to be a harlequin. I'm calling him Spaz or maybe Tigga since he was a very unhappy camper and bounced all over the small quarantine tank he's in right now.

Yeah I think crown is the trait having to do with longer crests, but it probably tends to exist alongside horns because they seem closely related? I've just started learning so I've been getting information from sites such as this one Crested Gecko Morphs - TreasureCrest - Quality, Captive Bred Rhacodactylus

They list horned as a trait and as a morph, but I don't know if people specifically breed for it, it might just be a side effect of trying to produce geckos with larger crests in general.

"The horned trait is a very endearing morph which seems to pop up in collections from time to time. The horned morph is defined by a pair of enlarged crests on the widest part of the head."

Please help me ID this little one.

I got lucky and was given a nice female crestie from a breeder.

He didn't tell me she was already gravid.

She only laid one egg so for and this is what I got.

 

[boboboy00]

Need some help IDing this little crestie.

I was lucky given a nice female from a breeder and even luckier that she was gravid.

This little guy is about a week old new and I just can't quite pin point the type of morph he is. Definitely something extreme "I think", cause his marking are all over his body.

What do you guys think?

 

[amarkakis]

This is my crested gecko Wallace. Hes about 1 1/2 years old. Wanted to know what morph he is.

 

[amarkakis]

Here is my second Crested Gecko I would like to know the morph of.

This is Sally, she has more of an orange color to her, more so on her stomach and under her chin which i wasn't able to get a good picture of. She is about 2 years old I believe, I just recently got her.

 

[mcdejer16]

Can someone tell me what morph my gecko is?

 

[amarkakis]

Your gecko looks a lot like mine. Im still waiting to figure out my morph...hopefully we can figure it out soon.
