Trouble Understanding Morphs

NomadOfTheHills Oct 30, 2004 01:22 PM

Can someone post a pic of each morph with its name under it? The descriptions of them arn't really helping me that much lol, but I know like dalmation and chochlate etc.. just not harelquin and pinstripe. Thanks!

You might want to buy Repashy and deVosjoli's book Rhacodactylus either from Giantgeckos.com or other retail sites. It lists for about $40 but I've seen it discounted pretty heavily elsewhere. I think Anthony Caponetto also retails it at ACReptiles.com. The pictures alone are worth the price and I think it will help to demystify the morph labels.
Remember, though that Crested Gecko color patterns are dynamic and subject to change and development of new morphs, which serve to confuse us all further.

My mom hates animals... book or no book. The only way she lets me have them is becuase she knows I wanna be a zoologist.

My mom hates animals... book or no book. The only way she lets me have them is becuase she knows I wanna be a zoologist, and she has already shipped off several of my pets to my fathers (thak god he loves animals), and killed my baby redtailed boa (by shutting off the heat and opening the windows over night when it was november)
