What is an Enigma
An Enigma is a Leopard Gecko which is a dominate morph. When classifying an Enigma, there are a few common features which all Enigmas seem to have. When they hatch out, their spots tend to be blotches rather than bands. When looking at their tails, the tails are almost all white. As they grow older, the spotting increases and sometimes turns into speckles.

What i am talking about is lets say you have a lizard with enigma morph.. Now you breed this enigma say to a tremper? so you get the 50% or what ever percent by doing your genetic tree. Now what i am confused on is i see pictures on the net of enigma and they do not have the characterists as defined above. Are Leos being classified as being an enigma because the sir or dame has enigma traits in hopes that you maye get a % of a chance to get an enigma

Once you've seen a few they are very easily identifiable, especially if you've seen them in person. No reputable breeder would try to sell a gecko as an an Enigma if it were not and most buyers know what they're looking at if they're ready to buy one.
