What to call a reverse stripe that lost his stripe?

[Tony C]

So this little guy hatched out with a killer reverse stripe:

which has now faded out to nothing:

Do I still call him a reverse stripe since that is how he hatched, a patternless stripe (the parents are patternless stripe eclipse x jungle tremper), or super hypo?

I go by the birth pattern (unless the baby hypos out). So I would still call a gecko born as a patternless stripe who gets more spots a patternless stripe and I'd call this one a superhypo reverse stripe!

I'd call it a patternless stripe and explain it was born with a rev stripe but faded just like you'd posted.

superhypo patterless reverse stripe really sounds good.jk:main_yes: but they are really really nice babies.i wonder what u will get if u breed them together.

We've got a pair (Eclipse x Rev Stripe) that throws a bunch of vanishing pattern babies and Patternless Stripes that actually gain a stripe as they mature. I just call them Hypo - (insert pattern) and then explain to people why I call them that. That's one great looking gecko!

It`s a Patternless Reverse Stripe - the Hypo gene doesn`t come into the equation whatsoever unless one of the parents has it, and has passed it down (which it hasn`t as it was born with a Rev St!)

I would not say it is a hypo. It is either a patternless stripe or a faded reverse stripe. I have a gecko that did that, he turned into a red stripe but was born with a reverse stripe. I call him a red stripe because thats what he looks like and I think it would be too complicated to say he is a red stripe that has a faded reverse stripe. But I guess if I were selling him then I would probably give him the full title.

It depens highly on what the parents were. I have and adult Aptor I got from GGG that had a reverse stripe as a baby but has seance "hypo-ed out"except for 2 spots. I have always called him a reverse stripe Aptor type he has thrown some nice babies the past 3 years, half being what I would call Patternless stripe even though some have a blotch or two and eventually turns into a few dots or speckles. They are basically non albino APTORS the derivative of that being Patternless Stripe. the only reason the babies have more pattern to them then a completely patternless body is because I crossed the male to a redS/BS cross.
The original male

and when he was crossed to a jungle stripe albino he fathered partial reverse stripes and complete reveres stripes


Some of the cleaner PSs

One of the not so clean siblings at hatch and several weeks later.

I would call yours a patternless reverse stripe

i call it a reversed stripe that hypoed out. call it a patternless reversed stripe if you want. that is the same exact thing. clearly in all the instances where a pattern reduces, fades or hypos out it is or has some hypo in it somewhere along the lines. if it didnt then it wouldn't fade, reduce or hypo out. define what hypomelanism is.

p.s. no offense to anyone
