I know I post this guy once before... But he keeps changing.. He's filling out with spots and seems to be getting some white lines down the back legs.. I guess what I really want to know is if you see any breeding potential here... He's not fully fired here.. More chocolate and rust... We call him rocky cause he looks like rocky road ice cream..

I wouldn't call him a partial pin (it's like 10%; not enough IMO).

I think calling him a harley's stretching it a bit, too. I think he's a dalmation flame.

IMO, he doesn't have any "breeding potential" if you want to do anything other than wholesaling. his crests are small, his color's not a hot commodity, and his pattern is not flashy enough.

before that hurts anyone's feelings...I only say this because there are SO many cresties being bred, and people that are actually beginning to do some very nice refining, that a ton of "nice normals" are flooding the market right now. I think he's a pretty gecko, but if you want to breed something and have a good chance of seeing babies go to good homes, you need more/different pattern, a more popular color, or much bigger crests.

that being said...crestie genetics aren't really worked out much at all. who knows what he could throw? the babies could all be hot, they could all be ugly as sin, or you could get a mix up the spectrum from uglyish to nice (which is what happened when I bred my crested pair, once, for curiosity).

it depends on what sort of female you'd pair him with, too.
 
I just got these guys from one of my friends who is getting rid of all of his reptiles and I don't think he ever gave them anything besides rickets that were to big for them. So I said I would take them because I'm an experienced person with lots of different reptiles

I just got this male barely a month ago (He's around 8 months I believe). Any ideas on what morph he is? He has about 40+ dalmation spots (red and black), harlequin/flame markings, brindle along his sides, I'm pretty sure he's tricolored, white portholes, fringing on his back legs and toes, partial chevron back, 40%+ pinstripe, and I was told he's horned. Sorry for the bad quality pictures.

this is my opinion on the last handful that haven't been answered. no guarantees...

Turquoise: I think he's a Dal Flame with portholes. I don't see enough pattern on the legs to call him a harley.

Angel: that's a red Dal. very pretty gecko! ...but then I'm partial to reds.

Joakin: that's a nice little brindle.

Pequeno: that's a dalmation (Dal)

MGHT: it's almost impossible to give an answer with small blurry photos of only one view. the right two are definitely flames. they may be harleys, but it's way too hard to tell. the one on the left is a mystery.

Dptydog hi ur looks very similar to my female. I'm not good at the morphs but yours is a dalmation not sure if its a flame or tiger but mines has one of those when it fires up which shows the markings a lot easier. Hopefully some can answer you better than I can.
