Can anyone please identify this morph?

Greetings everyone. I'm newbie here and I come from Indonesia. I've been keeping and breeding LG for a while. Couple of days ago (17 & 18 July 2009), I've got a surprise when I open my incubator. OK, here's the story.

1. Baby 1 (Hatch 17 July 2009)
I've never expected something like this to come out from my breeding pair (will be explained later). It has an appearance just like baby RAPTOR, but it has eclipse eye. Is this something rare, or has anyone encounter this before (in numbers)? The reason is, I've never seen anything like this before (I've already research the net). If anyone have encounter this, I would like to know more about this morph (genetic traits etc). Please look for the picture below.

2. Baby 2 (Hatch 18 July 2009)
This hatchling is the siblings of baby 1. It came from the same clutch with baby 1. This one is a tangerine reverse bold stripe. It really struck me to have two weirdo morph on two following days. I don't know outside Indonesia, but here, it's a rarity to have this morph (at least for me). Please look the pic below.

OK, now these are the parents for both baby 1 & 2.

Male: Banded RAPTOR ??? or simply just eclipse tremper? I don't know. It has two snake eyes.

Female: SHTCT (not really a good one though).

Now, what I would like to ask to fellow hobbyists and breeders here, are:
1. What is the possibility of the genetic traits that both the parents have?
2. Can anyone enlighten me about the morph name of baby 1?
3. Suggestions on what to breed with both baby 1 & 2?
4. Possibility of what genetic traits that might be carried by baby 1 & 2?
5. Is baby 1 a rarity or simply random unpredicted morph that come out from other breeding projects?

Thank you very much for everyone attention on this thread. Please forgive me for my English and the quality of the pic (still haven't figure out how to use the 50 mm Nikon lens). Hope someone can enlighten me.

Regards from Indonesia.

I don't know much about Gecko genetics but I've got to say the first one looks kinda spooky. Cute but spooky. Like a ghost or something? I would probably name it ghost...or perhaps Casper! :p Perhaps its just the camera but the skin of the first seems to have this almost kinda weird aura or translucent appearance especially in the tail and legs. Very weird, but also very cute. :D

you have a point there. btw, the thread starter (alvin) was actually posted this thread for me. since i don't have an account here. my account have just been activated this morning by the admin.

back to the thread, I sure was struck and dumbfounded when I open my incubator and found out what have been hatching out. you were right, it sure have a certain aura. :D

about the morph naming, I'm still waiting on confirmation from fellow breeders. have someone already work on this morph or not. and ghost, it is so represent this baby. :main_yes:

What you have produced are eclipse patternless stripe and eclipse reverse stripe. They are also het for tremper since the male is a raptor. This means your female is at least het for eclipse and possibly tremper as well

thanks for your explanation. btw, is baby 1 a usual byproduct on creating other morphs, or is it something that only come out once in a while? the reason is, if no one haven't focusing on this morph, I would like to concentrate on this one.

ic then, so this morph is quite common. thank you. one thing though, I'm quite sure that the female shtct doesn't have het for raptor. because at the time I purchased the female, he haven't acquired any raptor yet. fyi, the male and female are purchased from different breeder.
