what are the proper names for these colors and patterns ?

[MichaelJ]

i've been looking at a lot of pictures on breeder sites and FAQ sites about breeds and nomenclature..

i want to purchase a few new ones but don't the names of them so aid in the search..

Black and white with the basic pattern - which i believe is known as het or double het..

Creamy Green Mint or Jade color with no pattern..

any help with the names of these types would be greatly appreciated.:main_thumbsup:

Het means that it carries a certain trait, it's not really a morph name. If it's black and white my guess would be that it is a snow, either Gem, Mack, or Line bred. There isn't a green leopard gecko yet, but you may be thinking of a patternless. They're all yellow with no pattern as adults, as babies they have big spots.

yeah the green ones i saw were patternless but they were a green color.. maybe it was that they were younger..

thank you for the info..

It's probably just the lighting. As hatchlings they are yellow and they keep the same coloration into adult hood. They can also be a little 'moody' and can get a darker coloration to them, but they return back to yellow.
