Wondering if anyone knows how many co dominant morphs are out there and what are they. If someone can list a link to a website that shows most of the morphs that would be great. The only three I know of are giant, mack snow, and enigma.
 
"Giant/super giant" is NOT dominant or codominant, size is a polygenic trait, meaning it requires multiple genes for expression. That was/is a load of BS. So just Mack snow & Enigmas, both of which have been showing serious health issues when in "super" form (2 copies)
 
I bred them years ago, when they were expensive & new, but I had some that never got passed 20-25g. All had skeletal deformities, like their funky jaw & skull, short bodies & tails, mostly just weak skeletal structure. But there were also lots of failure to thrive issues, including lots of dead in the shell "supers". I even used 2 different breeders Mack Snow stock, but they were all closely related anyway... After the Mack snow issues (in "super" form), then the Enigma issues, I decided what we were doing to leopard geckos was horrible, & stopped breeding them. I bought E.m.afghanicus, then decided to just be done with leopard geckos completely. It sucked, because I had spent 30-40k on leopards over the years, & in the end, I traded all my leopard geckos for just 4 baby leachies.
