What makes a gecko a bandit? The stripe on the nose? I have a TUG snow that has the stripe on his nose, so would he considered a bandit? Here's some pics of him

Ron Tremper's new book describes a bandit as a gecko with a "distinct broad dark band running across the nose area between the nasal openings and the eyes." He goes on to say that the trait is often accompanied by reduced head markings of 3-4 head markings.
Personally, I wouldn't call yours a bandit as I like to see bandits have really distinct and obvious thick black bands across their noses and touching their eyes but since it is a line bred trait their is a lot of variation and what is and what is not a bandit is largely a matter of opinion.
