What morph do you HATE?

[zwara]

hate enigmas, dont like any decease carrier's thanks

 

[Baoh]

lol

 

[Doubelminttwin]

Don't hate any of them really but I put down enigma so I could see what everyone else said I picked enigma out of all of them just because I heard they had potential for extra health problems. I think they all have somthing to offer but I'm always going to be a mack snow person <3

 

[enigmaslim]

anyone that I cant offord lol, I love em all, I hate that the enigma has its issues but they are fantastic, but I think the Mack can do or come close to adding to a morph just like the enigmas

 

[ILoveGeckos14]

I'd have to say Blizzards and Diablo Blancos.

 

[CapCitySteve]

I love the coloring from enigmas, but I hate the nuero behavior.

The leopard geckos who I have least interest in, in regards to the visuals would be the albinos & red eye geckos. The albinos simply because there's an albino variant of every reptile ever bred in captivity; gets old fast, if you ask me. Any of the red-eyed geckos simply because it gets used in art all too often, for whatever reason, and also gets old fast.

My "favorite" of the captivity born morphs are the mack snows - the more thickly spotted & white it is, the better. The deeply colored eyes don't really interest me, but the heavily spotted pattern & white does. Makes you think "snow" in addition to "leopard" when you get a gecko with a lot of white and thick spotting on it (Snow Leopard Geckos, anyone?) The natural/normal/wild-type rank alongside mack snow as my favorite of the leopard gecko morphs; they called it a "Leopard Gecko" for a reason! :main_laugh:

Edit: No votes from the Jello Bowl. Didn't find anything that fit my description of what I'm least passionate about, far as colors are concerned.

I don't hate geckos, but I do very strongly dislike how breeders confuse (and to a large extent, misadvertise) new owners/breeders with morph names such as "red stripe."

 

[BiKA]

not fan of blizzard.don't hate gecko even if they bite me.

 

[thegeckoguy23]

i luv all morphs

 

[Lpac]

i dont hate any

 

[Taquiq]

Maybe you could dislike the coloring of a morph but hate is a strong word and
even though there are so many morphs out there, they are all one species, Leopard Gecko.

 

[biggoofybastard]

Even though half of our current 4 leos are albino, can't say I'm a big fan. They've been the most spaztastic of any I've owned

 

[geckoboy11]

:main_huh:i dont know i like all of them

 

[The Gecko Person]

Enigmas, because the first breeder shouldn't have sold any if he knew they had problems, like circling, missing food, wobbling, and stargazing.
:main_yes:

Enigmas have brought a LOT to this hobby. Without enigmas, we wouldn't have Dreamsicles, Novas, Super Novas and a lot of other stuff! I really enjoy working with enigmas.

I have to say that I don't hate anything really. I just "don't like" certain morphs. Blizzards are one of them. Don't know why, they just never did anything for me.

 

[5HiddenLizards]

I don't hate any of the morphs. They are all unique. Sometimes some may seem a little bland, but that's just genetics for you. I think its fascinating that so many different colors & markings can come from the same clutch. I can't wait till I am able to start breeding my own.

I will agree that if you are used to seeing some really bright colors & patterns that its weird to see some specimens that are of the same morph, but are less "attractive", if you wanna use that word. But each gecko is special. At first I didn't care for the blizzards or any patternless, but I've seen many variations of these & they have grown on me. Some can be quite dazzling.

But my Fire Skink still tops them all. Hahaha...j/k

this thread sort of makes me chuckle...

What morph do I hate? the answer is ... none. why? because I can appreciate the unique beauty of each and every pattern/color mutation that these animals are capable of producing, I simply enjoy them all.

They are all leopard geckos. . . it's like 'hating' someone because of the color of their skin, it just doesn't quite make sense to me. Keeping an open mind to beauty seems to be key when working with leopard geckos, or reptiles in general. they are all living art in whatever shape or form they come in.

i don't hate any morphs, i agree with some of the previous posters of responses,

-what i DO dislike greatly is misrepresentation by breeders which involves color shifting through the RAW conversion process, and marketing ploys which really makes some of the 'selling' seem a bit.....deceptive..

sometimes this amounts to taking photos on black backgrounds
to make animals look darker

sometimes it amounts to taking flash pictures of geckos...period.

sometimes it amounts to taking flash photos on black backgrounds to blow out the contrast

maybe it is just some pshopping?

do any of you view your geckos under flash lighting when you take them out?
I know i don't.
i'll probably get flamed for this, but w/e,
most experienced gecko buyers are aware of these mild deceptive practices already, my concern is for those who are new to the hobby and buy something that doesn't look like what it did online color-wise.
it is a huge disappointment.

the reason i am saying this is i was going to say i hate a certain morph-
but really,the morph is ok... i just don' t like the way they are represented,
and maybe a post like this was really just started by someone who felt the same way i do about the marketing rather than the gecko...
misdirected anger...
just a thought.

I agree.i know I have heard complaints from ppl that have ordered from a huge breeder that the leo they got was no where near what the pics showed

 

[SilverTheLeoGecko14]

well, I do not dislike any morph. HATE is a strong word.............

same here.:main_thumbsup:
