Morph Questions

[Enigmatic_Reptiles]

I am new to the Leo game buthave been doing peruvian boas for a while so i get some of the morphs. However i have been reading online and through these forums forever and still feel as though i am rather dumb when it comes to understanding them.
I have a few leos now but still have some questions
I know this is a RAPTOR, however i have been told that the type of albio in it would have to be matched when breeding to get any morph. Is this true? Also can you tell what sex they are at this age (about 2 months)?

Basically if there is a cheat sheet for morphs or anything i would love to know it.
Sorry one more thing. My friend is going to give me some Tangerine Jungle Albinos. Are they a good morph for breeding? I love how they look. Sorry its so long i just love Leos and want to be caught up in the morph world

To get albinos, the gecko you mate this one with would have to be either a visible Tremper albino, or heterozygous for Tremper albino. The different albino strains (Bell and Las Vegas) aren't compatible.

Also can you tell what sex they are at this age (about 2 months)?

Nope. Still too small to be able to tell reliably.

Just make sure to ask what albino strain they are before you buy them. If the answer to that question is Tremper, then no problem. If crossed to the one in the picture above (once it reaches about 50 grams that is), you can expect lots of Jungles het for RAPTOr, along with other various morphs (stripes, reverse stripes, APTOr, etc.).

Thanks a lot. I will just keep fishing for more morph information. If my friend gives me those tangerines ill post picks so you can see them.

This section is a good place to hunt for morph info for sure. Another good source is www.leopardgeckowiki.com. Can't wait to check out the Jungles! :main_yes:

...you can expect lots of Jungles het for RAPTOr, along with other various morphs (stripes, reverse stripes, APTOr, etc.).

In retrospect, I see that I misspoke here. The part above is only true if the Jungles are het RAPTOr. Otherwise, if the Jungles are paired with the RAPTOr pictured, you'd get Tremper Albinos and Tremper Jungles het RAPTOr. I didn't mean to mislead you!

Dont worry about it I am just a sponge right now so any knowlege is good for me. My friends gf took the jungles but he gave me 2 blizzards and a Super Snow. I know blizzards can produce somecrazy morphs but what can a ss do? Pics when battery is done charging

 

[Sunrise Reptile]

1.) SS x RAPTOr
a.) In year 1 you'll get Mack Snow 100% het RAPTOr
b.) Cross the babies in year 2 and get Super RAPTOr's

2.) Blizzard x RAPTOr
a.) In year 1 you'll get normals 100% het Blizzard and RAPTOr (a.k.a., Diablo Blanco).
b.) Cross the babies in year 2 and get Diablo Blancos.

You've got the ingredients to make some very nice geckos! :main_thumbsup:

what morph is it?

I looked at the link you sent but cant see the difference between the Super Raptor and the Diablo Blanco . I have been fortunate enough to have enough friends in the reptile business that they have given me a total of 5 leos. I used to do boas but retired after so many deployments and not able to take care of them they way i desire. But I have been given 2 raptors 1 mac snow 1 ss and 1 banded Raptor (or whatever you would call that since i know raptors are patternless but thats what the store said it was.)
What is this really called? tere is no such thing as a banded raptor right?

 

[Wandering Paddle]

another banded raptor comment... if it is tremper albino and eclipse then it is probably safe to call it a raptor

also; raptors are patternless stripe, not patternless as in the simple recessive Murphy's patternless trait.
