color question?

[xEl Chupacabrax]

Hi i am new to crested geckos and this site. i was just wondering if someone could help me i.d. what morph/color you call mine.
his (i cant tell if its a boy or a girl yet) name is pablo and from his size and weight im guessing he is like 4 or 5 months old i may be wayy off on that anyway from looking at others on here my best guess is the he is a Halloween harlequin but honestly i have no clue so any help would be greatly appreciated! Ohh and these are pics from my 3 seasons room on a big fake tree he is not outside or anything lol













Thanks -ryan

Yes-Pablo looks like he's going to be a Halloween harly.

And a handsome one, too!!!

i wouldnt be surprised if pablo ended up being a girl, "she" looks pretty big to not have a bulge yet. good looking gecko

Thanks for the quick replies and i would almost rather a girl because then i could get another without worrying about having two males, either way im happy bc these geckos are so cool! i have had a leporad and a Tokay and this is by far the coolest pet ever.. the only problem is i want another 

and one last question.. does the morph really mean anything other than color? or does the morph show that lizards genetic traits (pertaining to color and markings)?

thanks in advance! -ryan

Morph is physical characteristics OTHER than color.

Harley, pinstriped, dalmatian, blushing, peppered, furred, crowned, bicolor, and fringed are all morph-related.

Color is...color.

For example, reds come in solids, bicolored, harley, dalmatian, etc.

Like a Halloween Harley is a harley with black/brown background color and orange harley markings.

Creamsicles are peachy/pinky orange background with white or cream harley markings.

Okay so i have had this little male named Malvin (because of the "M" on his back) for a few weeks and i really tried my hardest to figure out what morf/color he is but i just am clueless haha my best guess.. harly partial pinner? i have no idea so  help is greatly appreciated THANKS!

Malvin-







This one is unfired, at night he gets really orange


ohh and one more thing does anyone have a link to a chart of some sort for morfs?
thanks again!

[samanthajane13]

There's a really good morph chart from the Repashy forum-

Marvin is a partial pinner-flame brindle or tiger.

The orange looks like a solid partial pinner to me.

Here's another morph guide-not as good as Repashy's-but sometimes I can't get on their site.

thank you so much that link was exactly what i was looking for! and im sorry i was unclear the "orange one" is marvin unfired up his color changes like a madman and again thanks so much!

[samanthajane13]

LOL-I was wondering, because I noticed the M on the back, but figured maybe it was another gecko from the same parents and they passed on a really odd trait!!

Glad I could help with the links!!
