Welcome to Ciliatus and your new addiction!!!
Morph is genetic-not temperature related. At this point not a lot is known about morph related genes in crested geckos.
Also-gender is not a temperature related issue-like it is in crocodiles, so you can't pick a temperature to set an incubator to to get more males or more females.

in one of my crested books by Philip V it says that the temp does effect gender.

Nothing is as refreshing as seeing a well kept enclosure with clean healthy thriving animals doing what they do. Dont let your animals live in nasty little homes. Also, our voices do make a difference. Pay attention to warnings about reptile bans and such, sign a petition, be heard, it works. Thanks

i think i may have the same book as you haha. as far as i know the jury is still out, but, there is some evidence showing incubation temps slightly effecting gender in cresties but nowhere near the degree that it does in leos or crocs.
on second thought though, the book i have is probably at least 10 years old, and the leo book i have is probably 13 years old, so the info may be a bit outdated...
