Yesterday my dear friend Bahri_Uysal posted this pic but i doubt this animal is stripe/jungle(i dont even know what that means) I asked a few people,they said this is an Aberrant Jungle What do you think about her morph?

Thanks :)

Most newly hatched geckos have black bands that run horizontally from one side to the other. Some geckos have broken bands, meaning that they're not solid all the way from one side to the other. Sometimes the bands are both fused and broken so instead of bands running from one side to the other, they have bands that run vertically from the head to the tail. As they mature, the bands break up into spots, the spots move around on the body and in some cases they disappear. It can be hard to tell what morph of gecko it is when the spots have settled, though sometimes you can see the original pattern if you look carefully.

If it looks like the original pattern had side-to-side bands, the gecko will be normal, hypo or super hypo depending on how many of the spots remain

If the body bands or tail bands of the original pattern are broken, but not both, the gecko is called "aberrant".

If the body and tail bands are broken up in a kind of camouflage pattern, the gecko is called "jungle"

If the body and tail bands are broken and fused so they look like they're running from the head towards the tail (and along the sides of the tail) they are called "stripes".

I think I'm the person who said the gecko in the picture is a stripe or jungle because both the body and tail stripes seem to be running in lines from the head area toward the tail area.

I would only breed her to your Mack snow bell if you are absolutely certain either that she has a bell albino gene, or that she has no albino gene. Otherwise, if she has an albino gene for a different strain, you will be producing double hets that will be confusing to everyone.
Unfortunately, there's really no way to tell anything more about her based on what she looks like. That's why the best breeding bet is to use geckos where you have their genetic information from the breeder since there's so much that doesn't show.
