Okay ill admit one thing i suck at is stripes..
there is a stripe.. which came from The jungle pattern..
in order to be a stripe does it have to extend to the tail? or is this considered a stripe

I am not the best with stripes either, however i think the striping does have to extend to their tailes and i think the last one does have some bold striping in its blood, but im no expert at this.

I think there is a gray area between "jungle" and "stripe". From what I understand, the most important distinction between jungle/stripe and aberrant is that both the tail and the body have broken bands. These are not reverse stripe because that would be a dark "dorsal" stripe with light sides.
I would tend to call the first one jungle and the others stripes even though there is a band at the base of the tail. Geckos that have nearly or completely no black body markings are often considered to be patternless stripes, and some would say that the last one could be patternless. Interestingly, I find that a lot of the patternless stripes end up getting spottier in the first year.
