Some leo morphs actually keep a trace of their original banding while many morphs lose it. Some morphs have reduced spots while others have many. What morph is your leo?

Can you list which morphs keep their bandings and which dont?
I thought no matter what morph it was just a random thing.

And the very few that do it is only a very pale hint...I can't list them off the top of my head (I have mainly seen pics) but I'm sure some of the others here can (I'm not exactly a morph expert...just love to see the pics!!!)

Some keep the banding, but it turns into more like just a blotch of purplish with black dots all around it. Still a normal. Monte(powergeckos) has a gecko that had kept its banding and it looked really cool, how about that pic again Monte??

Ive had geckos which had spots when they were younger, which dissapeared as they aged, I also had geckos without spots which grew more spots as they aged. Ginetics is probably you best estimate for how they will turn out. How did the geckos parents look??
