Aberrant
Description: The Aberrant leopard gecko morph is a term applied to any leopard gecko with a perfect tail pattern but a broken boddy pattern.
History: This morph doesn't have a history as such as it was never produced via selective breeding unlike some other morphs.


Albino (amelanistic)
Description: Albino leopard geckos are those which lack the color pigment melanin. Its this pigment that's responsible for any black colouration in "normal" leopard geckos.
History: Albinos were first produced from a few WC specimens (morphs do happen in the wild, they are just very very rare) which were selectively bred. I presume one albino would be bred to a normal producing some heterozygous for albino offspring, these would have then been bred back to the original albino resulting in a few albinos. Its these which would have started the gene off in captivity.


Blizzard
Description: Blizzard leopard geckos are very impressive and are a triumph in selective breeding. They are pale in couration (the purest of which are almost white) with blue crystal like eyes. They are an amazing looking morph. (Can you tell I like them?)
History: N/A

Banana blizzard
Description: Banana blizzards are basically blizzards with a yellow body. They display the same patterning on the tail, the same head color and the same eye color as standard blizzards.
History: Initially a blizzard varient which has been selectively bred and become a morph in its own right.

Blazing blizzard
Description: The blazing blizzard is simply a normal blizzard but with firery red eyes (they are actually just normal red eyes but against the pale background of the lizard they look firery).
History: N/A

Carrottail
Description: Carrot tail leopard geckos are essentially normal ones which have a more than average amount of orange pigment in their tail. The pigment is generally at the base but some specimens may have up to 90% covered.
History: Normals displaying strong orange colouration on the tail were selectively bred until a defined color morph was formed.

Ghost (pastel)
Description: Ghosts (or pastels as they are also known) are quite general leopard gecko morphs. They are anything with a faded pattern, it is said that they always look like they are about to shed.
History: There isn't really a history to this morph as any morph can display ghost "qualities".

High yellow
Description: High yellow phase leopard geckos are just brightly colored normals.
History: This morph doesn't have a history, it was selectively bred from brightly colored individuals and new high yellow straines are still being produced today.


Hypoxanthic
Description: Hypoxanthic leopard geckos are a very bright yellow color. Hypo means 'reduced' or 'lack of' and axanthic means lacking yellow pigmentation. What you essentially have here is a super hypo leopard gecko. The only black colouration on these tends to be on the head and somewhat on the tail.
History: Selectively bred from hypo to produce what is basically a "super hypo".

Hypo
Description: A hypo leopard gecko is one with reduced black patterning. Generally bloodlines are so pure that no black colouration on the body remains. There is however black patterning on the tail and sometimes head.
History: N/A. Probably selectively bred from individuals who have reduced patterning to make the pure colouration.

Jungle
Description: Jungle leopard gecko pattern is variable, the only thing jungles tent to have in common is broken tail rings. They can have a variety of body patterns.
History: N/A, Probably selectively bred from "normals" displaying desired characteristics.

Leucistic
Description: Leucistic leopard geckos are breathtaking. The are pure white lizards with yet black eyes. They are an amazing morph.
History:N/A

Lavender
Description: The spots of the lavender leopard gecko have a purple hue to them.
History: N/A. Probably selectively bred from "normal" individuals showing more purple colouration than others.

Melanistic
Description: Melanistic leopard geckos are generally of normal pattern but they are darker in colouration, almost black.
History: Probably originated as a mutation in a wild leopard gecko which was collected and bred.

Normal
Description: This is, in my humble opinion, the nicest leopard gecko "morph" there is. They are a yellow color with yellow spots on the body and head. Their tail is also dotted with black but it is colored by white, purple, grey, orange and purple.
History: Wild caught individuals started the pet trade. Nowadays all of the leopard geckos available are captive bred.

Patternless
Description: Patternless leopard geckos are those with no patterning whatsoever as adults. The tail may still have subtle color differences but no spotting or diverse colors will be seen.
History: N/A. Probably produced through selective breeding, choosing individuals with reduced spotting and over time removing any pattern completely

Patternless albino
Description: The patternless albino is as the name would suggest, a cross between the patternless and the albino leopard geckos. They Lack both the black pigmentation and patterning. The result is a lightly colored gecko with no patterning. As albinos they also have red eyes.
History: Presumably a combination of the patternless and the albino morph.

Reduced pattern
coming soon..........

Reverse stripe
Description: As the name suggests, this leopard gecko morph is the opposite to the stripe morph. It has a dark stripe running the length of the body to the tail. Two lighter stripes sit either side of the main dark stripe. This is a variation of the jungle morph.
History: N/A
