A crested gecko morph is a named look set by base color, pattern, scale structure or a proven gene. This guide covers all 34 morphs recognized in the hobby, from Harlequin and Pinstripe to Lilly White, Axanthic and the first albinos.
Frequently asked questions
How many crested gecko morphs are there?
The Geck Inspect Morph Guide documents 34 crested gecko morphs: 7 base color morphs, 6 color modifier morphs, 11 pattern morphs, 6 structural morphs and 4 combination morphs. Only 9 of them follow a single gene you can predict with a Punnett square; the rest are polygenic or line-bred looks that breeders refine over generations.
What is the rarest crested gecko morph?
The rarest morphs in the guide are rated very rare: Albino and Moonglow. Albino is the rarest of all: the first healthy albino hatchlings were only announced in March 2026. Among established genes, Axanthic is the rarest, at $1,500 to $4,000 for a typical adult.
Which crested gecko morphs are genetic?
9 morphs in the guide follow single-gene inheritance. Recessive: Axanthic and Albino. Incomplete dominant: Soft Scale, Super Soft Scale, White Wall, White Wall White Spot, Cappuccino, Frappuccino and Lilly White. Albino is expected to be recessive, but breeding has not proven it yet. Every other morph is polygenic or line-bred, so its look is improved by selective breeding rather than predicted.
Are there albino crested geckos?
Yes. On 5 March 2026 Eureka Exotics announced the first healthy albino crested gecko hatchlings: no black pigment and red eyes. How it is inherited is not yet proven by breeding.
