Leucistic or Paternless?

I've heard both things about my baby, and I was just curious which she might be. She is young, so might be hard to tell, but here we go:

A bit of a blurry shot, sorry about that.

I was under the impression that the old term for patternless was leucistic, but true leucistics are blizzards (which never carried over to them term-wise). So yes, patternless; however, also leucistic in a way.

There has yet to be a leucistic Leopard gecko produced, which would be solid white with black or blue eyes. This term, mentioned above as well, is commonly confused with Murphy Patternless, which is your geckos morph.

Thanks everyone! So that means she should be solid yellow or cream colored with a cream tail?

WOW!!! Chris, she is amazing! I love seeing photos of my beautiful babies when they grow up. Yes Artes, I think your the Murphy Patternless will be a beauty. ;)

I like her a bit myself too. :) She did darken up some from when I first got her and she's definitely darkened up from breeding, but that's par for the course as most of my breeding leos do that but then color back up in the off season on up to spring training. I'll have to find the photo I took shortly after getting her, it might even be on here buried somewhere in the show off your leos forum. Unfortunately my external HDs have appeared to have gone AWOL during this stupid move, so I can't quite go that route. :main_angry:

That certainly is an exceptional patternless!

Enough so that I'd like to pick up a pair from Marcia later this season, or at the least get a female and then steal the wicked patternless Kelli just posted if it's male.

OK. Well Kelli, next show you do out of town, Chris and I are going to sneak in and flip a coin to see who gets it. If you come home to an unconscious body on the gecko room floor, it will be Chris.
