Correct term for striped with banded tail

[andrea7777]

I would like to know what is the correct term for a leopardgecko with a stripe on the back with a banded tail. Normally a striped leopardgecko has to show the stripe on the tail as well to be named as stripe, am I right ?

Usually they are call "aberrant"

maybe reverse stripe?

@aliza: but aberrant is as far as I know the term for a jungle with a banded tail

@monitorlizard: I already tried to find an answer at leopardgeckowikipedia, could not figure out the reverse stripe exactly, it says the tail looks much like the tail of a striped gecko

A picture would be helpful. As far as I know, "aberrant" refers to any gecko that doesn't meet the stripe/jungle criterion because of the tail. It's not really a term that describes something strictly like "reverse stripe"; it's a more general word that means "differing from the norm".

As an example, I have this girl, a redstripe cross het Bell, she is paired with a "real" stripe het Bell, although I think some of the offspring will have the banded tail like the mother:

that would be considered an aberrant or more specifically a dorsal stripe

ok, after reading alizas answer twice I understood (its sometimes not easy in a for me foreign language) so got it now, thank you all
