The perfect raptor (from dictionary of leopard gecko morphs :D) is patternless only when is young and then, when it is adult, have spots?
What's the difference between a raptor and a raptor sunglow?
We can call a raptor a mac snow raptor? even if isn't tangerine coloured?
The snake eye of raptors: can we name it eclipse?
Thank you, excuse me for my bad english.

A RAPTOR sunglow is a Tangerine RAPTOR.
A gecko can be a Mack Snow RAPTOR if it isn't Tangerine. Tangerine and Mack Snow are totally different and unrelated.
The snake eyes of a RAPTOR are caused by the Eclipse trait, yes.

The perfect raptor SHOULD be patternless because from the acronym is it ruby eyed albino patternless orange. But lately I can see tremper eclipse for sale as raptor. Snake eyes is still eclipse with part of them being faded. And no, a mack snow raptor needs to have mack snow genes in it to be called on, just because it is light doesn't mean it is a snow.

Ok, so I must ask... how can you tell it's a reverse stripe if it's patternless? The tail? Since I know the patternless is regarding just the body.

Its patternless stripe, not patternless reverse stripe.
Supposedly its the combination of reverse stripe and stripe that creates a patternless stripe? So its inherently always there.

A RAPTOR (Ruby-eyed Albino Paternless Tremper Orange) is supposed to be a Patternless stripe (which essentially a cross of two stripes, a reverse stripe and just a normal stripe, creating a stripe when born, but soon fades as the gecko matures) Tremper Eclipse. But nowadays a RAPTOR is more loosely defined (by most) as a Tremper Eclipse.
A RAPTOR sunglow is a raptor which was crossed to sunglow/tang lines in attempt to brighten up the colours to specically produce more vibrant/tangy offspring. A "plain" raptor wasn't necessarily crossed into sunglow/SHT's.
A snake eyed raptor is no different gentically than a "normal" raptor. A snake-eyed raptor only just has a portion of it's eyes pigmented.

And your english is just fine! :main_thumbsup::main_thumbsup:

Again, it's important to note that "patternless" (AKA Murphy's patternless) is completely different than a patternless stripe(which occurs in "true" raptors). A Murphy's patternless raptor is know as an Ember.
A reverse-stripe raptor (not a patternless stripe) is known as a RERS (or a Red-eyed Reverse Stripe). Pictured here:
