Base Morphs These are the more common morphs that have been around for quite some time. |
|
 |
Flame The Flame Morph is characterized by the colored dorsal
stripe extending from the head to the base of the tail. A true
Flame morph will have little to no pattern on the sides or limbs.
|
 |
Harlequin The Harlequin Morph is a type of Flame Morph often
refered to as a "Harly" for short. The increased mottling
and coloration on the sides and legs are what makes a harlequin different
from a normal flame. |
 |
Dalmatian The Dalmatian Morph is easily identified by the black
spotting. The Dalmatian trait can co-exist on other morphs such
as harlequins, giving you a harlequin dalmatian morph or a flame dalmatian
and so on. |

|
 |
Tiger The tiger morph is characterized by the tiger-like
striping the extends from one side to the other transecting the dorsal
region. |
 |
Pinstripe The Pinstripe Morph is a flame or harlequin morph
that has the dorso-lateral crests highlighted in cream or white. |
Designer Morphs These are morphs that have been developed through selective breeding. |

Creamsicles Now here is a morph that stirs up a lot of controversy among hobbyists. It seems that everybody gets all up in arms because breeders will call a particualr gecko a Creamsicle when it's colors do not match an actual creamsicle popsicle. It is a silly controversy, since in the first place, crested geckos will change color throughout the course of a day, so having a gecko that matches a creamsicle popsicle all the time is absolutely, positively, impossible. The definining characteristic of this morph is the Cream colored dorsal flame pattern. The side coloration can be any shade of Orange, Reddish Orange, Yellowish orange, etc. The most desirable color combination has proven to be the Reddish Orange and Cream.

Blondes This is an often misrepresented morph. In order for a Crested Gecko do be considered a "Blonde" it must meet two criteria. The first is the Cream colored dorsal flame pattern, the lighter the better. The second is that a gecko of this morph, when fired up, should be incredibly dark if not black, on the sides and background.
