Would you consider pinstripe and edging as two different type morphs. Edging is what I am calling the pinstriping on the front and backs of legs. Looks like edging to me and I have some that have it and some that have pinstriping but not the edging.

In the Rhacodactylus book pinstriping is considered white or other contrasting color running down each crest, dorsally. The white color on the back fringes of legs and the shins is called "white fringe" in that book. Extreme examples of white fringe include striping on the edges of the preanal bulge and across the toes and shins. Up until now, everything I have heard indicates that white fringe is a completely separate trait from pinstriping. I have a gecko with pretty awesome white fringe and he has 0% pinstripe. :) I hope this helps!

White Fringe is a trait that has so much potential, and I think it plays a role in some other morph traits as well. Most geckos that display the typical white fringe also have some white blotches on the knees and on the front of the hind legs and some have white blotches on the sides. I have a couple of geckos that have an exagerated white fringe on the hind legs and a white band along the belly and up on to the sides a little bit. I really think that anyone who wants to play around with some selective breeding of the white fringe trait, could come up with some very unique morphs. I will have some pics up soon of my white fringe animals. :)

This little guy displays the white fringing on the hind part of his legs and on his knee caps,and I think with age the white spots on his sides will develop a little more.I have a few other animals where the fringing is much more prominent but I think this guy has alot of potential.

That one definitely has some great potential, you'll have to post pics as he/she matures!

I think if you could get the really white fringes mixed in with the different morphs they would be killer. It will be interesting to see if they can be reproduced without the pinstriping.
