Strange gecko Morph Id HELP

[jermh1]

Ill start with mom and dad, Dad is a snow raptor, mom is just a Tan without any known hets, untill this thing popped out.

here it is the freak

here is the little fella with its clutch mate, and 30 or so siblings back were all normal/tangerine

It really almost looks eclipsish! Sometimes a het eclipse can very much resemble a eclipse in some ways. I would say that a eye shot would be very helpfull in determining the genetics.

Looks like an eclipse. Need an eye shot to determine this.

 

[jermh1]

It is not eclipse, 100% normal eyes but it is 100% het for eclipse

I thought eclipse had to do with the eyes not the pattern ?

some morphs that are a het will result in the gecko looking different. Example a normal het bell tends to be very spotty and an albino(particularly tremper) het blizzard tends to be very light colored(which can make it difficult at times to tell a mack snow albino het blizzard from an albino het blizzard)

I dont think that the eclipse gene does this in het form but some animals that are eclipse will have the small, freckle like spots.


I would say the little guy is a snow and his colors look odd because of the tangerine influence. Also possibly patternless stripe? Definite stripe going down the tail.
Neat looking gecko, look forward to seeing what it looks like in the future!

By the looks of mom I would have guessed that she came from a Patternless Stripe background even without seeing the baby. Tangerines from Aptor backgrounds look just a little bit different to me. Neat looking baby! It looks like it can't decide if it wants to be a jungle or a reverse stripe. lol

Here are some updates, any more ideas.

and the other

They do somewhat resemble creamsicles as per leopardgeckowiki

I just hatched two that look just like your stripe, including the white stripe down the back. It's hard to tell, but I think they have eclipse eyes. The father is het eclipse. I'm hoping to have pictures up tomorrow because I also don't know if they're Mack snow or not. I'd think not, but I've seen a few other pictures of yellowish hatchlings that are supposed to be snows.

het bells can look any ways there is no distinguishing characteristics the same with trempers het blizzard. the only noticeable het characteristics is in many het blizzards, they will be very speckledy. many times het eclipse animals have a certain patternless stripe look to them. other than those two i know of no other (hets) morphs with any distinguishing marks.


looks like you have a reversed stripe, also i would be willing to bet that is a snow but you would have to breed it to know for sure. either way that would be one i would hold on to. very nice gecko

whether you think its a freak or not i think its pretty

I'm really curious about the snow possibility. A number of years ago, Alberto posted a similar looking one (http://geckoforums.net/showthread.php?t=3788&highlight=eclipse --the second picture) and said it was a snow, but how can a snow have that much yellow at birth?

Pictures of mine coming in a separate thread this evening.

Holly memory like an elephant, I dont even remember 2006 let alone a post about a gecko, this is why men have no chance in arguments against women.
seriously though
I do think there is snow involved which should show up when I breed her back to the male.
Ill update the pics when I get a chance, she is still changing.

The only reason I knew about that picture is that I did a search for "eclipse" to try to figure out mine which look similar to yours.
