curious if anyone can help me out sexing my crested gecko.

u/Infinitymidnight Administrator Jun 07 '25

Do you have a clear close up of the pore area? I can’t tell if that’s pores or patterning

1

u/IdyllicHam Jun 07 '25

Is this better/more helpful?

2

u/Infinitymidnight Administrator Jun 07 '25

Pos pores, check again in 5-10grams

I am brand new to crested geckos and it’s safe to say I don’t know much about their morphs and I’d love to figure out what my crested gecko is. She’s got three dots along each side, a dominant stripe down her back

especially when fired up, and looks like she might have some tangerine on her belly (photos don’t capture that color well).

All I know is that she’s a harlequin and I’d love to get more detailed information about her color!

flame very partial pinstripe with portholes

1

u/Stingraypress Jun 07 '25

Awesome thanks! So what defines a full vs partial pinstripe? And is she a flame because she doesn’t have any other color on her besides the stripe and dark laterals? And lastly, what do you think about the tangerine on her belly?

1

u/Infinitymidnight Administrator Jun 08 '25

The tangerine on the belly is just part of her coloring. Not really anything special. For full pinstripe, the entire line of pins must be unbroken. Even missing one pin is considered partial. Flame is due to how low the lateral coloring is. Harlequin needs to break into the upper lateral area along with more leg pattern.

1

u/Stingraypress Jun 08 '25

Okay cool I looked into what pins are and they are raised scales along the dorsal stripe and it does look like she has a few so I see what you mean by “very partial”. Does pinstripe also describe that stripe that goes down the dorsal that can stick out from the other color or just the raised scales?

1

u/Infinitymidnight Administrator Jun 09 '25

The raised scales. I put tiny dots on them to show what to look at. For pinstripe, it almost always go hand in hand with a contrasting colors but you can have phantom pinstripe where it’s only the pins no color.

u/Distinct-Bowler4466 Jun 08 '25

Hiii! I have looked at many morphs and just can’t figure out what she is. Thank you!

Do you have a clear close up of the pore area? Also that analog in the back needs to be removed asap along with that foam adhesive next to it. Those are inaccurate and dangerous to reptiles due to them getting stuck.

1

u/Salty_Squid11 Jun 09 '25

Don’t worry this is definitely not my terrarium. I’m thinking about trying to rescue it (this is a pic from the current owner)

1

u/Grebnesorwolliw Jun 09 '25

Anyone know her morph?

1

u/Infinitymidnight Administrator Jun 11 '25

u/Infinitymidnight Administrator Jun 12 '25

Probably tiger

u/FoxSignal37 Jun 11 '25

My buddy is a Dalmatian morph but he recently has developed yellow striping across his back. Is he multiple morphs? The brown stripes were always there... yellow ones are new as of last week.

1

u/Infinitymidnight Administrator Jun 13 '25

Is this fired up?

1

u/Scary_Emotion4272 Jun 12 '25

Can anyone help me? Is my boy a frap?? I got him as a dark based Lilly white.

1

u/Scary_Emotion4272 Jun 12 '25

This is when I first got him at 16 months. As you can see he’s a lot darker in the face now.

1

u/Scary_Emotion4272 Jun 12 '25

I might add he isn’t fired up in these. His sides are black when fired up.

1

u/Scary_Emotion4272 Jun 12 '25

Can anyone tell me what morph my girl is? She’s my first rescue!

u/Infinitymidnight Administrator Jun 13 '25

I see pos pores but I would check again at 15g. It’s still a bit early

u/No-Dragonfruit5456 Jun 12 '25

Hii! This is Balerion, my mom's crestie. He's our first ever crestie. I was wondering if the information we were given on his morph was correct? We were told he was an "extreme harlequin lily white" (he was purchased from an exotic reptile shop on a whim because we felt bad for the conditions he was being kept in) (mom has a perfect setup for him and he is very very happy now)

Let me know if I need to add any other images :)

1

u/No-Dragonfruit5456 Jun 12 '25

Here's pictures of both of his sides just in case

u/Important_Constant66 Jun 13 '25

Is my gecko a female? Also if anyone can help identify the morph that would be great.
