Is this a stripe?

[GekkoGalaksen]

This linebreed snow have a sort of stripe...what would you call it?
I am not myself sure if it´s a stripe at all, so I need a little help from you nice people
The only comparable stripe I can think of is Dorsal...

 

[LeosForLess]

I have seen a lot of snows with that stripe. I wouldnt be sure what to call it...

 

[GekkoGalaksen]

Yes...you have absolutly right!
We even breed som Macks last year with simular strips...

 

[Gregg M]

I would say no, genetically wise... Many leos have a similar pattern from normals to any morph really... I think that dorsal stripe just shows up more in macks and other morphs like hypos because of the color and pattern wash... Awesome Mack by the way...

Hmm Gregg...do you tell me that it´s a Dorsal stripe?
I am sorry that I don´t catch what you are saying

a dorsal stripe is a stripe down the back, ex: like a striped AFT, because it runs down the center of its back or "dorsal region" just like the fishes top fins are called the dorsal fin

I'm guessing if you had seen that gecko as a baby, it would have been a jungle or abberant. The body looks like it has a broken stripe pattern, but the tail looks like it was banded.

I agree that it appears to be an dorsal stripe, but not a full stripe. In the cases of dorsal stripes, the babies are often born banded and the dorsal stripe develops as it grows. A 'true' stripe is born that way. Lotta, do you have a photo of this gecko as a baby?

 

[GekkoGalaksen]

I shall ask the owner if he has a baby pic...
It´s not my Leopard, but I got the question about the stripe!
And I wasn´t sure what to answer.
So it´s very nice to have you guys here helping out

My first leo a normal, developed that pattern at about 18 month old.

It's a dorsal stripe very'very common in leo's if you look it cuts through the bands on the back it not following the bands on the back so a normal pattern.

Here a picture it's only a painting but it does show the dosal stripe very well on normal pattern & jungle & also on striped.

Who ever did that painting is extreamly talented...

 

[GekkoGalaksen]

Woow...I love that picture!

He has no baby pics of her...but here she is 9 month old!

 

[Grinning Geckos]

Heehee....I stand by what I originally said.

 

[marula]

[Ian S.]

I say it's abberant.

 

[GekkoGalaksen]

Thank you very much for the help...
I agree...it´s an Abberant!

Hi Lotta,
Sorry if I hijack your thread but I got to ask about my male that is line bred snow to.. he got a "stripe" on his back and what would he be called then ?

He is very white and got less spots and the "stripe" is very clear on the back

Thanks, Linda

By how thick the stripe is on yours it is't a dorsal stripe.It the start of jungleing/stripeing so from what i can see i'd say a abberant snow.
Look on your web site at (male spirit-dorsal stripe) and (female spira-junglely/stripey) you can see the clear differance.

this is the most cool line breed snow that iìve never see!!!!
