It is a leucistic, but with the variety we've been seeing lately, its hard to say whether it is murphy's patternless or blizzard.

Yeah, there have been a number of people producing blizzards that have been looking nearly identical to murphy's at hatch. Matt (Sasobek) has posted a few of them on his page

Just another reason why we can that we can't 100% identify without the genetics background.

Here's just one for example. Blazing blizzard from lines that have never touched MP.

You'll get a lot of variance in the coloration with both offspring as well, that coupled with seeing plenty hatching out with patterns now makes it really hard to determine what is what, without knowing parents.

Sure looks mp, interesting I've never seen a blizard with a patern. I've seen plenty of banana blizard s at the shows around my area but never a patern. Who did the blizard s come from? What are the eyes like?

This particular one came from a close friend who stays primarily off the grid, but has been breeding for well over a decade.

But I know Matt posted some on his FB page a while back. I just don't recall what album he placed them in.

And I don't recall off the top of my head who else I've seen post blizzards with pattern, but there have been a few others

I have a gecko that het mp was on only one side and one out of nine looks mp. I don t want to be thread jacking so I'll post in new thread. I'd love some opions because I don't work with mp.

Matt released a few of those "patterned blizzards" 2-3 years ago saying he thought they had never touched Blizzard lines but was planning to prove the adults out just to be 100% sure. I never heard an update on what the results of the test breeding was. I'm skeptical that they aren't MP until I see proof from breeding the parents to a full MP and having no MPs pop out.

I concur that a bannana blizzard is an MP and Blizzard combo. The Leopard Wiki supports this too :) Banana Blizzard - Leopard Gecko Wiki

As an add on - I've seen a couple folks that bought these patterned blizzards breeding them and/or selling the ones they originally bought trying to repeat what Matt told them about their geckos (that he doens't think they're MP but needs to prove parents out to be sure) but without a full understanding about what they are discussing it makes the details get a bit fuzzy. He also sold them at normal blizzard prices because he hadn't done his homework well enough to claim they were 100% unique and different. I totally respect him for doing so!!
