just a harley?

Tango







Got him from petco a few weeks ago when they were having a sale, eats like a pig super healthy. Adore him/her.
Thoughts?

I would say flame. There's not much pattern on tbe upper side area or limbs. Nice pick up.

[Xuniet]

To me it totally qualifies as a Harlequin.

Just my 2 cents...

[Brian(:]

I'm confused on this one. There's not enough pattern on the legs to be a Harley, but too much pattern on the sides to be a flame.

Harlequin is ENTIRELY determined by patterning on the rest of the body, the lateral sides have no indication of harlequin patterning. Harlequin means whole body, not just the sides.

I do see some pattern on the legs though, so I would call this a harley. Its not extreme if thats what you were hoping to hear.

[Inkscrawlly]

Thanks Guys, And i knew he/she wasn't an extreme. I was just Confused on his/her's Pattern.

I would actually say flame since there is very little patterning on the legs. But harley/flame is like tomato/tomato in this case. Definitely not clear cut.

[crestedkeeper]

The rule of thumb, although still mildley objective is that the legs and upper lateral are should contain atlest 25% coverage of those areas. Whats the difference between 20% ane 25%? Thats where opinion steps in and confuses us all, lol. I try to imagine all the pattern on the legs and upper lateral all grouped into one area. If that seems like it would cover 1/4 of the the areas in question then I go Harley, if not Flame.

I always thought Flames were when there was patterning on the back but none on the sides, Harlequin was when there was patterning on both the back and lower sides, Extreme Harlequin was when the patterning continued above the halfway mark and/or on the legs.

It's been a while since I have paid attention to this part of the forums, but I always thought that was the rule of thumb......If a Flame has patterning on the lower sides then what do you call a gecko that has no side patterning but pattern on the back?

Color patterning has developed so much that this is no longer the case for most people. Anything with color ONLY on the dorsal is called a bicolor.

The same goes for super-dalmations, as better animals become more readily available, the standards for "super" become much more stringent.
