Leopard Gecko Morphs

Leopard Geckos
Leopard geckos make great pets. Why? Because they're small, docile, and come in a TON of colors and patterns- I.E. morphs. You can pick and choose your favorites, whether it be a bright Super Hypo Tangerine Carrot Tail Baldy leopard gecko or a pale Blazing Blizzard.
I mean think about it, in yesterday's pet store you only saw "normal" leopard geckos, which are also known as "wild caught" and "standard" leopard geckos.
But, in today's pet store, you'll find albino (usually Tremper albino), patternless (often marketed as leucistic), and tangerine (to include hypo tangerine and sometimes Super Hypo Tangerine Carrot Tail Baldy- SHTCTB) leopard geckos. And, sometimes, if you're lucky, you'll find a blizzard leopard gecko.
Basically, what I'm trying to say is- with the trend of leopard gecko breeding there has been a rise in great breeders of the past decade or so. These breeders have line- bred and selectively bred various morphs that we see today. And, as you read, more are being thought up and developed.

Snow & Blizzard Leopard Geckos
With each year more leopard gecko morphs are seen in the reptile trade, so that means a higher variety for you to choose from. Remember that although pet stores will have a handful of different leopard gecko varieties, you have to make sure that they are healthy and free of any health concerns. So, for a healthy leopard gecko, a breeder is always the way to go; plus, breeders have more morphs that you'll ever see at your pet store for a cheaper price.
Plus, think about it... It will be a long while from now that you'll walk into Petsmart or Petco and find a RAPTOR leopard gecko or an Enigma leopard gecko.

What's Your Favorite Leopard Gecko Morph?
Aren't those lovely reptiles just gorgeous!! Thank you Whitney for sharing!! No, I don't have any cold blooded loved ones, at least not inside at the moment, but I just adore the variety!! My porches are covered with your run-of-the-mill Gecko's and we converse all the time!! Their antics make me laugh and their presence makes me feel blessed!! Thank you for sharing!! Earth Angel!!
Hey Whitney, it's great to see these color morphs. It is so exciting to see where the captive breeding of leopard geckos is going. There's been so much done with snakes, and the bearded dragons have also been greatly expanded on. But leapard geckos are such a great pet that I'm glad to see them getting this kind of development. Great photos!
Yes I agree. My big problem is that now in the leopard gecko world, breeders are getting high egos and crazy marketing techniques of naming "new" combo morphs crazy names. I think it's ridiculous, and would rather hear what morphs made the "new" morph instead of nova or black hole. Whatever.
Nice stuff that you put on the website. It is cool!
i have 1 lepard gecko its female i think. I cant really tell but i think my pet store could tell me i think that i have a female.
Is it me or are the snow's glowing?
jean it does look like that, but it's the glare from my camera and the rocks. I should update the pictures on a better background.
I have a blizzaed gecko from pet supplies. She is now 1 year, and living with other geckos that she gets along with great. They all get the calcium they need, she drinks a good amount of water, and sheds. Well recently she os turning kinda brownish and her tail is not near as fat as the lepards. Its pretty skinny. Is this a normal thing?
If the tail is skinny, then that's not normal. I'd say bullying if she's being housed with other geckos. Could be overall stress since she's changing colors. I'd separate them asap. she's still a leopard gecko just a different coloring.
thanx i just found out I have a Hypo Mack Snow about 3 inches long hes just beautiful I love to hold him he the bst thing ever.. are the names listed under or above the picture
thanx
Under. These pictures are very dingy pictures, I need to get updates, but the morph names are under the picture.
awsome thanx
Hey whitney, im new around here but i love you hubs, they're so interesting to read and easy to understand, i have a gecko who's 9months i hope to breed her next year to make albino geckos, so your hub was really useful!
Remember you can only get albinos with albinos or with het albinos. You also have to make sure that they are the same strain of albino or else you'll get a normal.
Check out my breeding hub.
How much do blizzards usually go for?
It will depend on the breeder and the overall genetics of the gecko. The overall price on leopard geckos have been dropping drastically lately. I wouldn't expect a plain blizzard to go for more an $50-$75.
how much do the black leopard geckos cost?
They are generally pretty pricey, as they are still new and being improved upon. I don't particularly care for them, so I'm haven't paid attention to the average though. I just remember a few months ago when the first few started to be released they were expensive- several hundred for C grade and that's in the least. I want to say one breeder is selling them for $3000.
i recently found out that my largest leo is a rainwater albino. how much would they usually sell for? awesome, i might look in to getting a blizzard
Rainwaters can go as cheap as $20. I've seen some less, but if quality is better, the price will be more. It'll be hard to sell, depending on where you plan on selling, and if the quality doesn't match the price, people won't buy.
i have a leopard gecko now boy is there any chance i can breed him with a blizzard gecko .
Just because it's a different morph, it's still a leopard gecko. If you have a normal male and breed it to a blizzard female, you're going to get normals of varying degrees of spots that are potentially het for blizzard. Remember breeding is a responsibility, and can be very expensive. Breeding the female one time can give up up to 10 hatchlings, that will need to be housed separately, and you'll need to find homes for them all.
I have four leopards, and as far as I can tell they are all different...but two of them I can't identify from any pictures I have found. Think you could help if I sent you some pictures? One I have is a Tremper Albino and the other is a Super Hypo Carrot Tail. All very beautiful reptiles.
Yes, I can ID them if you are able to supply pictures.
