Muddled about morphs

Gabriev Nov 12, 2004 03:16 PM

Hi everyone again. ^____^

Just two things for this post. One, I'm the guy earlier who had the female gecko who wasn't eating (Dud gecko" topic.) First, let me say that she's fine...she shed her skin and started eating like a pig afterwards, so she's swell....and thanks for eveyone who helped me

The second thing for this post may sound kinda stupid to all you expirienced gecko lovers, but what exactly are the different color morphs and "flavours" that Leo's come in? I hear things like "blizzard lizards" and "carrot tails" and I've tried going onto sites that sell geckos to try and find out what exactly they mean, problem is though that one person's "apricot" will look totally different that another persons, so I'm having trouble pinning down what exactly they should look like. Does anyone know of a good site with pictures that describes the comman traits of each color morph? I would like to know becuase I want to see if I can get some different colors for my colony of "plain morphs" or whatever ya call regular Leos. ^_^

Thanx.
