    Default Morph decision issues

    Hey everyone, I'm apparently just being really active on the forum today as my old forum just isn't as... experienced as this one. lol.. My boyfriend is the more experienced out of us when it comes to morphs. We've never bought a gecko because of what it looked like, and we've had some of our other collections for years; we just never really looked at forums or anything, it was just a vet, and breeder that we used for most of the information as well as a few books. While they discuss morphs in the books; my boyfriend and I spend countless hours trying to debate which gecko is which, it's more fun with the younger ones because they are constantly changing. We had a beige brown spotless gecko become a vibrant yellow Dalmatian, and he's still changing... While we have pegged most down; we need some help settling this debate. Any suggestions as to what you will call these pretty guys?

    My key ones are as follows:

    Snakey is a beautiful girl; when she fires up she's a little darker then the picture. She reminds me of beautiful gray stone. We've looked everywhere but can't really seem to figure out what morph she is.

    This is Zeke, I believe I know what morph he is; but my boyfriend is arguing with me about it so I figured someone else can settle it.

    Snow white.... when she's not fired up like this she's pale white, every time we grab the camera when she cools down she fires up. I will catch her down one day!

    I would consider Snakey a brindle.

    Zeke would also be a brindle or a very nice tiger.

    Snow white would just be a pattern-less(as far as I can tell).

    I'm not exactly very good at morphs either, and I have a hard time distinguishing the first two between Tiger and Brindle. Cute geckos either way!

    Thanks Brian!

    They are cute little buggers despite all the attitude issues as of late. I always have issues with the tiger brindle thing too; but at least I can do the "I-was-right-you-were-wrong" dance
