Can you guess what kind of morph my new little baby leo is? I know what he is, I was just wondering if anyone else could figure out what he could be. I would love to give you guys more shots of him, but the site is not letting me upload them. So these are the only pictures I have of him for now on the site. After 10 post and no one has guessed what he is I will tell you. 3 guesses per post please

I think a Hyper Melanistic Mack Snow. Also I think she is daughter of the dark looking gecko that nobody could tell exactly what he was. Can you post more pictures of that male?

One of the parents should be Mack Snow since the little one looks to be but in both pictures of the parents they look that they are presenting a lot of dark pigmentation. Hyper Melanistic doesn't mean that they are complete black just mean that they are showing more melanin pigmentation than a normal will show. Like hypo melanistic they still showing some black pigmentation but less. Since I have told before in other threads, I have been doing lot of research on how other animals will adquire melanism (occurrence of an increased amount of dark pigmentation) and it seem that a change in their environment (industrial melanism) like change in the color of their habitat or change in temperature (from high to low, they will produce more melanin since the black color would raise they body temperature more faster). So any gecko that present more black pigmentation or brown can be called hyper melanistic.

That's one sweet snow!I'm positive it's Mack snow because normals aren't white.Only 1 parent has to be homozygous Mack snow to produce 50% snow het patty,and 50% normal het patty.im thinking the patty might be a Mack snow patty.that's all I can think of.realy cool hatchling though.love the ammount of black.

I think you meant to say hetrozygous Mack Snow above. A homozygous Mack Snow would be a Super Snow and it would produce 100% Mack Snow offspring. :)

Well after discussion with a few people(around about 20, some professionals) we decided my male gecko is a Murphy Patternless Hypermelanistic, the female gecko I thought was a Normal het High yellow. Though some of you are saying she is something else. My male is not a Mack Snow.

Last I checked, you cant have "het snows" lol
Your gecko is defiantly very interesting looking. Keep up the good work.
