2 leopard geckos, Morph Id Q's. photos

I got a shipment from JMG reptiles in the package was a “Jungle poss het tremper albino” and a “co-dom” snow. And I got a few Questions.​

I think I understand the meaning of “jungle” any odd pattern with broken tail bans?? I think? And I have seen “jungles” before but never like this one…has this one had spots…. What would you call this one? I took photos of her eyes; the Pupil isn’t a straight line. The veins in the eye pull the pupil out a bit making the pupil look jagged ​

Co-dom snow, what does that mean? What morph is this?

The jungle: there is a continuum in pattern from jungle to stripe. Sometimes if the gecko looks sort of stripey one person might call it a jungle and another a stripe. I assume that when this gecko hatched, it had a somewhat stripey pattern that has now broken up into spots. I would guess that JMG didn't feel it was enough of a stripe to call it "stripe".

The "co-dom": as far as I can tell, it's a Mack snow. I don't know why they needed to add "co-dom", since all Mack snows are co-dominant (unless someone thinks they're incomplete dominant, but we won't go there). There are non-Mack snows that are line-bred, but generally "co-dom" and "mack snow" are redundant.

The eyes: there is a great variation in eye shape and color; you probably got a less common pattern. If you're really concerned, either post a picture here, or send a message to JMG.

JMG talks about using co-dom snows in their creamsicle breeding project? I tried to figure out what the difference was too? The only thing I thought was that it was a whiter/ more hypo version?

The "codom" looks like a hypo snow...which would be a bi-product of a creamsicle project. I talk to Jeff frequently about Creams and I would guess that thats where that gecko came form.

The other one looks like a jungle to me. Not enough stripping to call it a stripe. That type of body pattern is frequent when working with striped animals as well as patty stripe.
