Thanks all!
But PRS would be the true morph for the one on the top (the triple stripe), or?

Every time I think I understand what the PRS is I get confused again. I'm curious to know why you would consider this hatchling a PRS rather than a broken reverse stripe or even a jungle? As far as my understanding of PRS goes at this point, there shouldn't be bands on the tail and there should be a minimum of black. Is that right?

The PRS I've been able to follow has fade out to be patternless. I think that's the point??

Look at this dark lady (sold and namned Yankie), revers stripe, yes, and striped tail, yes;

she lost her tail after that photo, and looks like this to day:

And this male, revers stripe again, but som bands on the tail:

Looks like this to day:

That make me belive all black pars on their new sibling will go away too, but I'm not sure...

I see the PRS differently, but I'm just guessing. I consider my PRS geckos to be those born with very little black markings as hatchlings. In some cases, they actually *add* some spots as they mature. It seems that there is a continuum from abberrent to jungle to stripe to PRS. This season I am pairing a male PRS with a female redstripexrainbow stripe and I'm getting everything from nearly jungle to PRS. Only 2 that I'd really consider to be PRS. I have some pictures in the camera that I may be able to post this weekend.

Here are some pictures of the ones I would consider PRS:
1. the father from JMG
2. the 2 PRS as hatchlings
3. another pair of clutchmates from the same parents that I don't consider to be PRS (and it's a bit too early to see if they lose their black anyway)

The 2 PRS are now 2 months old and I'm about to post their pictures on the Classified forum because they are for sale. I will post the link as soon as I get that done. Let me know what you think.

PRS can hatch so many different ways, and "start out" as just about any pattern. Like the full "Reverse Stripe" above, that now only has one or two spots. They can start out with or without a pattern, and they can change quite a bit as they grow, just like the Aptors.

I`ll say it may end up as a PRS, because that is pretty bold striping. As you know it may break up into many tiny dots, or "dissapear", over time.

It looks a little more like a Reverse Stripe/Jungle, but that is how alot of mine have hatched.

This gecko below is a good example of a PRS. He is actually one of the first PRS produced from our Red Stripe X Reverse Stripe Albino project. He hatched w/ a Jungle/Reverse Stripe/Striped pattern, and then look how he matured.
