When trying to choose a Leopard Gecko, it can be hard to decide when there are so many different colors and variations available. While not every morph is listed in this article, if you’re thinking of purchasing one on our site, we’ve provided some more in-depth information of some of the morphs we have available and what makes each one unique.
Different Leopard Gecko Morphs
Tangerine Leopard Gecko
Tangerines are known for their orange colors, which differentiates them from the typical yellow coloring of Normal Leopard Geckos. The strength of the orange coloring can differ from gecko to gecko as Tangerines can exhibit yellowish-orange to intense orange-red colors.
Did you know that Tangerine Leopard Geckos are one of the most popular morphs sold by Backwater Reptiles?
Super Snow Leopard Gecko
As babies Super Snow Leopard Geckos can vary from white to gray. As they age however, their patterns start to come out with a high contrast of black and white speckling. They are also known for their solid, all black eyes.
Mack Snow Leopard Gecko
Mack Snow Leopard Geckos are hatched with white bands rather than the common yellow bands of other geckos. As they mature, they become black and white but can have light hues of yellow or purple looking pigments. They are known to be the paler-looking of the Leopard Gecko morphs.
Leucistic Leopard Gecko
When these Leopard Geckos are babies, they can have a variety of wacky patterns. As they age, they become a more solid gray color all over their body with a purplish gray tail. Leucistics are also known as Patternless Leopard Geckos.
Enigma Leopard Gecko
Enigma Leopard Geckos are one of the most unique looking morphs due to their irregular spotting and/or colors throughout their body. Rather than bands like most Leopard Geckos, as babies, Enigma Leopard Geckos are easy to spot because their bodies have scattered blotch patterns.
Blizzard Leopard Gecko
As babies, Blizzard Leopard Geckos will be yellow and purple and will lack any spots or bands throughout their entire lifespan. They can range in shades of whites and gray with some having a yellowish cast about them.
Blizzards are actually known to possess true leucistic genetics.
Blazing Blizzard Leopard Gecko
These Geckos are double recessive of the Albino and Blizzard traits which makes them solid white with no shades of gray. Some Geckos can have a yellow hue on their bodies however.
Albino Leopard Gecko
Albino Leopard Geckos babies have light pink and yellow bands, however as they age, they will show brownish markings with lavender coloring.
There are three types of Albino Leopard Geckos: Bell, Tremper, and Rainwater Albinos. The easiest way to determine which your Leopard Gecko is would be to look at their eyes. Bell Albinos have light pink eyes, Trempers have light silver eyes, and Rainwaters have the darkest colored eyes.
Generally Backwater gets in the Rainwater Albinos, however it can vary from time to time.
Sunglow (Hybino) Leopard Gecko
Sunglow Leopard Geckos are known for their red eyes and solid body color of either orange, yellow, or somewhere in between. They also have varied amounts of carrot-tail, which is orange pigmentation concentrated on the tail specifically.
Pinstripe Leopard Gecko
These Leopard Geckos are aptly named as they have stripes or blended spots that look like stripes along their body including the tail. Sometimes Pinstripes will have no patterns in the middle and only on the sides of their body.
Chocolate Albino Leopard Gecko
Chocolate Albinos are just Albino Leopard Geckos with dark colorations. Getting Chocolate Albino Leopard Geckos can generally be achieved by incubating the Albino eggs at lower temperatures.
