I have a super hypo female and a wild type male, could that make an eclipse? If not, what breeding combinations can?

Both Male and female have eyes like this:

No, unless both geckos are het for eclipse. You would need two geckos that are either eclipse or het for eclipse.

With your geckos, you would get wild types with varying amount of spotting.

If you want to breed, you should buy geckos with known genetics. If yours are from a pet store or non-reputable breeder, than they are best as pets.

It has to do with their genetics. I'm new to Leos also but have been reading allot. Best to read the stickies at top about the genetics or Google Leopard gecko genetics. There is a ton to learn before attempting to breed them and as mentioned only leos with known and proven genetics should be bread. No way of knowing what you'll end up with otherwise. I've been enjoying reading up on it though, lots of cool morphs and tons of info out there on strong genetics and ethical breeding. Good luck. Russ
