Patternless , just cause there isn't enough pattern to ward calling it anything else.Unique looking gecko though .

I might consider that a tiger, since there are two distinct colors. Definitely not something you see every day.

And, the fact that it has a pattern means that it can't be patternless.

Bazinga! I agree with Aaron 100%. Looks a lot like some of the funky $hit that the Gilpin's have been hatching out of their Skitz line.

p.s. If it's 100% female, let me know if you're interested in selling/trading the little one off.

Definitely unique! Looks like it may have come from a bit of reverse pinning, but it's hard to put it in any category. Anyone else see the face on top of it's head? New roadside attraction!!!

reverse pinning definitely , but still not in any way enough pattern to consider in anything but patternless. i see those face patterns on lots of cresteds, all pretty unique neat looking..

Patternless refers to an animal that is one solid color.

let's just agree to disagree .

Calling that gecko "patternless" because it doesn't have enough pattern to be anything else is like calling a black guy white because he shops at Abercrombie.

Doesn't make much sense to me to call it patternless just because it doesn't fit any other description you know of. Rick, I think you know this way deep down because you mentioned it having one in two posts. Pattern-less means no pattern.

Again, I agree with this Kevin fellow. Excellent name, kind sir. Excellent opinion as well. Here, here!

I would call her an "oddball" for sure.
She has some nice dappling that doesn't fit any of the current "morph" characteristics. Crested gecko genetics aren't as predictable as allelomorphic species like leos and pythons. Anything new is fair game and we don't have to put them into our previously defined categories just to satisfy the human desire to categorize things.
I have a couple of geckos that have similar dappling but they are also harlies. The dappling appears to be a separate trait, or the other typical harley markings have been masked out by some other gene or gene expression.

Thanks everyone for you input. We actually picked her up at petco...They sold her to us 1/2 price since she was missing a tail. She just laid us 2 eggs....so we will see what her babies look like. Although we need to get a better male to breed her with next season.

thanks. Yeah i would go with unique as it doesn't fit what would fall under a tiger technically, so i agree with unique.
