Bandit
- Creator: Ron Tremper
- Polygenic (Line Bred)
- Type: Morph
- Year 1995
First discovered as a random mutation in 1995, these animals are bred to have a distinctive bold band across their nose and reduced head spots. This stripe or “mask” is located between the eyes and nasal openings and stretches all the way across without a break in pattern. There are many different line bred forms of this Morph. Bandits patterns come in banded, reversed and albino. They typically have an aggressive temperament and can bite. If you have a bandit animal that is proven to have zero hets, you have all the fresh genes of a wild caught animal, aka Normal.
Example of a specific line look, the Zorro Bandit is a specific Bandit with a preferred look first coined by Breeder and author Ray Roehner. The Zorro Bandit has been shipped worldwide and is a favorite amongst breeders. All Zorro bandits are a direct descendent of Ray’s Bandit named Zorro.

Cipher
- Morph Type: Recessive
- Creator: John Scarborough
- Gene Proving method: Medelian Inheritance
First hatched in 2015 from a collection of pure marble eye groups. They are all ph marble eye for this reason however this is the only recessive in them due to coming from pure marble eye groups from wild type stock. Ciphers are not linked directly to the marble eye gene but are believed to be a spontaneous mutation in John’s personal collection. He has since proven that an animal from 2012 did in fact carry the gene. A truly amazing animal, I look forward to seeing what is done with these in the future. If it has come from John, you can stand behind it.
Health
Fertility: n/a, Eye: n/a, Deformities: n/a, Growth rate: n/a, Neurological: n/a, Tail: n/a
Characteristics
- Juveniles – Body and full tail broken reverse stripe (no bands), reduced pattern, color enhancer, and solid eyes (no partial).
- Adults -At the moment there are only Ciphers with wild type background genetics. Adults will lose a lot of the boldness of their stripe as they age, but this may change once more lines are added to them. Adults tend to show nicer colors than their het (wild type) siblings. Their eyes stay solid as adults. (From John).
Clowns
- Polygenic (Line Bred)
- Creator: Matt Baronak
The Clown Project started in 2012. It is Line Bred. Basically this is “G Project”, crossed it to a line of high contrast tangs (Electric line). It has…
- A&M Jungle Giant
- A&M Tangerine
- HQ Red Stripe
- Emerine
- Albey Tangerine
- Nevies Tang
- Electric Tangerine
- A touch of Bold Bandit (in the newer stuff).
Mix that all up in a pot and selectively bred for a few different looks and Clown is what you get.

Firebold
- Creator: Carlo Maia – John Scarbrough
- Polygenic (Line Bred)
- Type: Line
- Bold Morph
These are a line bred Tangerine Bold originally started by Italian Breeder Carlo Maia. As I understand it, the first malewas an Electric bandit cross from Monsoon Reptiles. Carlo bred this animal into an Afghan Tangerine, Redstripe, Hyper Xanthic and then several Tangerines.
John Scarbrough took over the project in 2013 and mixed them into his best Bold Tangerines which carried Bandit lines from Gecko Genetics. They have since been line bred by John into what we work with now.

Characteristics
- Hatchlings – Bold as hatchling. Sometimes their tangerine is present.

- Adults – The finished product!! An amazing firebold.

White and Yellow
- Discovered by: Sergey and Raise Prohorchik of Prohorchik Reptiles
- Type: Dominant
- Gene Proving Method: Medelian Inheritance
White and Yellows first appeared in 1996. Breeders from Belarus saw the morph spontaneously appear in their collection as a random mutation. A Female that looked different than all the others. She was later bred back to her Sire and the results put them on the path to proving the new gene. The strong white or yellow coloring from the first batch of hatchlings is how the name was coined. In 2002 Sergey and Raise sold their first batch of White and Yellow Leopard Geckos. A large amount were sold to Russia, the others across Europe.
