First on our list of African fat-tailed gecko morphs we have the patternless morph! As the morph name suggests, these geckos are lacking the splotchy pattern that usual covers the gecko. The morph can produce anywhere from dark brown patternless geckos, to a gorgeous white when combined with other morphs.

2. Striped Tangerine Albino

As the name suggests this morph produces geckos with a bright white stripe down the back, and bright tangerine coloring. The albino softens the usual brown bands into a soft pastel.

3. Zulu

The zulu morph was first imported in 2006 by The Urban Gecko, but wasn’t reproduced in captivity until 2009. They ended up with the name Zulu for the morph because when the first zulu morph gecko emerged from the egg, her markings reminded them of a Zulu spearhead. The markings on the gecko’s back from the zulu morph truly are unique!

4. Oreo
