Definition list?

[Snowberry]

I am SO lost with all the genetics discussions here. I'm very good at rabbit colour genetics,but all these new reptile terms are confusing me. I keep looking at the photos and trying to match the descriptions. Is there any sort of definitions list for the words used to describe the colours?
Words like morph, tremper, blizzard all have me completely interested.

Thank you! That is exactly what I'm looking for.

Thank you! I have been looking for this as well. Are there any websites that show what juvenile morphs look like? I pretty much have learned the adults, but they change so much from when they are young and most of you all can pinpoint something out of the egg!

Look at younger geckos that are listed for sale, that is usually the best way to see what they will look like as hatchlings. This time of year there will be alot of hatchlings for sale:

(above is a good example of what I mean)

All of the nonpatternless/striped/jungle morphs will hatch with high contrast bands on their bodies that break up into spots as they grow. Patternless geckos hatch with faint spotting that fades as they grow. Blizzards/aptors/raptors hatch with no pattern and stay that way. Jungles/stripes hatch with solid areas that are random (for jungles) or striped (for stripes) that eventually break up into spots that are not in bands. Hypos hatch with banded/jungly patterns that fade away as the gecko grows. MAck snows hatch out black and white and some yellow comes in as they get older. Super snows hatch out almost patternless and grey with a faint stripe down their backs then turn into the dotted line pattern as they age. Carrot heads hatch out with a little more tangerine on their heads than normal and that gets more orange as they grow. Carrot tails may hatch with little to no carroting, but as they grow it spreads down the tail. Giants hatch out looking a little stretched out and with long tails. They also grow alot faster than normals.

EDIT: also the book "The herpetoculture of leopard geckos" has a section that shows some morphs as they grow, with pictures taken of the same geckos every couple of weeks.

EDIT2: my current avatar picture is of an adult jungle, compare him to a baby jungle. His patterns would of been solid when he hatched, but as he grew they broke up into spots. But you can still see that he is a jungle because the spots are different than the normal banded spotting.
