So what would you guess this morph is? Have a look on the legs. The front legs are nearly white whereas the hind legs are greenish yellow.
Enjoy

It looks enigma but not quite in the eyes.You can't just buy enigmas anywhere yet and i can't see anyone that breeds them miss ID'ing a enigma as nothing other than a enigma.So did you buy it as a enigma??.I've looked at your homepage i'm i right in assuming your based mainland europe ?? so it's most likly a White & yellow-(W&Y).

Gazz you make me laugh-they may not be prominant outside the US, but I swear, everywhere I look here someone has them and are breeding them.

I should have worded it better but wat i mean is any breeder is unlikly to miss sell you a enigma coz they would have payed around $/£1000-ish for a breeder.The fact that this is a morph riddle thred the person asking for are opinion what morph it is tell me that though it looks enigma it is not.Coz to buy it the owner would have to pay around $/£800-ish to get it.And you don't pay $/£800-odd for a morph you don't know what it is.And if he/she is based in mainland Europe i'd bet there a little more than $/£800.So based on that though there are enigmas around and about out side the US if you buy a enigma you know at the price tag they hold at present it's a enigma you own.So the owner of this leo being based in mainland Europe IMO the leo is a W&Y as there's seems to be a fair amount in mainland Europe.

Ok ok, apologies for the confusion. I just started this thread because IMO this one looks a little like an Enigma and I just wanted to know how you would judge this one phenotopically. It's definitely not an Enigma, it's an offspring of a fasciolatus outcross. The aim is to enhance the white colour, will see what she will produce in 2008. Thanks for all your responses

Are avridge pet leo's are in sence mutts.Though they are carrieing many the blood of (E.m.maclarius) they also are carrieing the blood of most or pretty all the sub'species,species of leo.This most likely is half the reason along with selective breeding why normal leo's vary so much.But if a leo is tagged as (E.m.fasciolatus),(E.m.afghanicus),(E.m.Montanus),(E.Turcmenicus) or any of the other species,sub'species name there the real deal pure bloods they can be traced as being wild pure bloods.

Here some picture of species,Sub'species by A&M Gecko.
