Guys help me. what morph is he?

[vizard09]

This one. some says its a mack snow raptor with snakes eyes some says its just snoe tremper . confused

He's definitely a Mack snow Tremper but the only difference between that and a mack snow RAPTOR is the eclipse gene. Usually the eclipse gene cancels out a whole lot of patterning and that guy looks pretty patterned so IMO he is probably not a RAPTOR. Not 100% sure but I think the only want to tell exactly what he is is to prove him out by breeding to a raptor or other gecko with the eclipse gene.

thanks a lot, I'll try to pair it up with a mack snow het raptor or an eclipse het raptor. How about the eye? is it not a snake eye?

The eclipse gene has various degrees of expression. It can produce a gecko with solid red (albino) or black (normal) eyes or it can produce a snake eyed gecko that has a smaller percentage of the eye "eclipsed." Some geckos with the eclipse gene have such a low expression that their eyes appear normal. The gene was originally produced by breeding striped geckos to reverse striped geckos and so most geckos that have the eclipse gene do not have a pattern. They also usually have a white nose. Yours has a distinct pattern and no white nose which leads me to believe he does not have the eclipse gene and therefore cannot have snake eyes.

Where did you get him from? Can you ask the breeder what the parents were? Then you may have a better idea of whether he might be eclipse or not. Its important to know the backgrounds of your geckos before you breed them.
