Tiger / Brindle Crested Gecko

A Tiger / Brindle crested gecko is a crested gecko whose dark banding sits between the two looks, mixing tiger-like parallel lines with brindle-like irregular patches.

Many animals fall between pure tiger and full brindle. T/B (tiger/brindle) captures that intermediate expression. Widely used in sale listings when the pattern is banded but not purely regular.

Inheritance: Polygenic. Category: Pattern. Rarity: uncommon. Typical adult price: $150 to $400. Also called: T/B, Tiger Brindle.

Key features

Banding visible but not perfectly regular
Mix of tiger-like parallel lines and brindle-like irregular patches
Common in most polygenic pattern lines

How to tell it apart

Tiger: Tiger emphasizes recognizable transverse bands.
Brindle: Brindle emphasizes broken or interconnected dark pattern.
