10 Stunning Leopard Gecko Morphs You Need to See

The first time I saw a leopard gecko with electric blue eyes, I thought it had to be fake. Then I fell headfirst into the rabbit hole of morphs—and trust me, it’s wild.

If you thought all leopard geckos looked the same, these 10 showstoppers are about to blow your mind.

10 Leopard Gecko Morphs You Haven’t Seen Before

1. high yellow

When I first heard the name High Yellow, I pictured a gecko in sunglasses, strutting around like it owned the tank. And honestly? That’s not too far off.

This morph is basically the upgraded version of a normal leopard gecko. It’s like the original gecko, but it decided to glow up.

What Makes It ‘High Yellow’?

Brighter yellow body than the standard wild type
Fewer dark spots scattered on the back
Sometimes comes with a little attitude (or maybe that’s just mine)

I had a High Yellow named Nugget. He used to glare at me from his hide like I owed him rent. But the way he glowed under the heat lamp? Gorgeous.

Why It’s a Favorite

Reason	Why It Stands Out
Looks	Bold yellow with a clean look
Easy to find	One of the most common morphs
Great for beginners	Strong genetics and hardy

High Yellow geckos are everywhere, but each one has its own style. Some lean more golden, some keep a few bold spots, and others look like a banana with legs.

If you’re new to leopard geckos, this morph is like starting with a classic car. Stylish, reliable, and guaranteed to turn heads at feeding time.

2. tangerine

Tangerine leopard geckos are like the orange soda of the reptile world—bold, bright, and kind of addictive. The first time I saw one, I thought someone had dipped a gecko in a bucket of Fanta. That’s how orange they are.

What makes them special is their deep orange body color, which can range from soft peach to fiery sunset. And the best part? No two tangerines are exactly the same. Some have little spots. Some don’t. Some come with carrot tails (we’ll get to that in a second). It’s like a gecko fashion show, and the tangerine morph always brings the heat.

Tangerine Highlights

Color range: Light orange to deep reddish-orange
Common add-ons: Carrot tail, bold stripes, hypo patterns
Eye color: Usually dark, but can vary if mixed with other morphs
Personality: Just as chill as any leopard gecko

Now, about that carrot tail. No, it’s not an actual vegetable. It means the tail has a bright orange patch, like it’s been painted with carrot juice. A high-percentage carrot tail on a tangerine morph? That’s gecko gold.

If you’re thinking of getting a flashy but beginner-friendly morph, tangerine should be at the top of your list. It’s like having a tiny dragon that wandered in from the sunset.

3. albino (Tremper, Bell, Rainwater)

This morph always messes with people. When someone hears “albino,” they picture a pure white gecko with red eyes, like a spooky lizard ghost. But leopard gecko albinos? Not even close.

I remember the first time I saw a Tremper albino. I actually asked the breeder if the lights were just really yellow. Turns out, these albinos do have red or pinkish eyes, but their bodies can still be yellow, orange, or brown. Confusing? Very.

There are three types of albino leopard geckos, and no, they’re not interchangeable. Breeders treat them like rival Pokémon teams. If you mix them, morph purists might come for you in the comments.

Here’s a quick cheat sheet:

Type	Eye Color	Typical Look	Fun Fact
Tremper	Silver to pink	Brownish with bold patterns	Most common and easiest to find
Bell	Light pink	Brighter and bolder	Easiest to spot red in the eyes
Rainwater	Pink to soft red	Lighter, often pastel tones	Sometimes called Las Vegas albino

If you’re buying your first albino, Tremper is usually the go-to. It’s kind of the “starter pack” of albinos. Bell is flashier, like that friend who always wears glitter. Rainwater sounds exotic—and honestly, looks it too.

Just don’t mix them unless you really know what you’re doing. And maybe keep a chart handy. I still can’t tell Bell and Rainwater apart without squinting.

4. Blizzard

Blizzard morphs are the blank slates of the leopard gecko world. No patterns. No spots. Just pure, solid color. When I first saw one, I thought my eyes were glitching. It looked like a gecko-shaped shadow had come to life.

They usually come in these shades:

Snowy white
Smoky gray
Soft purple tones (especially in cooler light)

I had a Blizzard once named Casper. Fitting, right? He had this quiet charm and always looked like he was judging me, probably because I mistook him for a sock more than once.

Why people love them:

Minimalist beauty
Easy to recognize
They age well—colors may deepen slightly, but they stay clean-looking

Blizzard vs Patternless

Trait	Blizzard	Patternless
Pattern	None at all	Faint or absent
Eyes	Usually darker	Usually normal
Body color	White, gray, purple-ish	Olive, yellowish, sometimes green
Overall vibe	Mysterious and sleek	Smooth and mellow

If you want a gecko that looks like a living pearl or a stylish little ghost, the Blizzard’s got you covered.

5. Patternless

Let me tell you about the leopard gecko that decided, “Nah, I don’t need spots to look cool.”

This morph skips all the usual stripes, bands, and dots. It’s just smooth, even color all over the body. Think of it like a minimalist gecko that Marie Kondo-ed its pattern right off.

When I first saw one, I thought the poor thing hadn’t “finished loading” yet. But nope, that’s the look.

Here’s what makes it stand out:

No patterns at all

Just one clean color from nose to tail. Usually olive, grey, or purplish.

Juveniles may trick you

Baby patternless geckos sometimes do show faint markings, but those fade as they grow up. Like they’re slowly deleting their browser history.

Super chill vibe

The look is calm and soft, which kinda matches their laid-back personality.

Feature	Patternless Morph
Pattern	None at all
Common Colors	Olive, lavender, grey
Baby Patterns	Sometimes faint ones
Adult Look	Smooth, solid tone

If you’re into clean aesthetics or just want a gecko that looks like it was dipped in soft paint, this one’s for you. I once joked mine looked like a tiny eggplant—and the name stuck. Meet Eggy.

6. Mack Snow (Super Snow, Mack Snow Albino)

When I first heard the name “Mack Snow,” I thought it was a snowboarder. Turns out, it’s one of the most eye-catching leopard gecko morphs ever. And it really does give off frosty vibes.

What Makes a Mack Snow So Special?

Hatchlings are black and white
As they grow, the white turns more yellowish
Still way paler than your average gecko
Cool-toned look makes their patterns pop

It’s like someone turned the saturation down but left all the style.

One Morph, Two Surprises

There are actually different types of Mack Snow:

Type	What’s Different?
Mack Snow	Basic version with pale bands
Super Snow	Bolder pattern, darker eyes, more contrast
Mack Snow Albino	Mixes that frosty look with the red-eye vibe

I once saw a Super Snow that looked like it came out of a Tim Burton movie. Black eyes. Sharp contrast. The kind of gecko that gives you main character energy.

Why People Love Them

They’re perfect if you want a gecko that stands out—but not in a loud, neon way. Mack Snows are low-key flashy. And since they can mix with other morphs, you’ll find all kinds of combos in the gecko world.

7. Super Giant

The first time I saw a Super Giant leopard gecko, I thought someone had overfed their regular one. Turns out, it was just born to be thicc.

This morph isn’t just chunky. It’s genetically larger than most leopard geckos. And I mean noticeably. It’s like putting a regular gecko next to one that went on a strict buffet-only diet for a year.

What Makes It “Super”?

The Super Giant trait is actually genetic. It started with a gecko named Moose, and breeders ran with it. These geckos can grow up to 12 inches long—almost 3 inches longer than a typical adult.

Quick size check:

Type	Average Length
Normal Gecko	7 to 9 inches
Giant Morph	10 to 11 inches
Super Giant Morph	11 to 12 inches

Why People Love Them

Easy to spot in a tank. You’ll never say, “Where did it go?”
They tend to be calm, maybe because they don’t like wasting energy.
They’re basically the Great Danes of the gecko world—big and lovable.

What to Watch Out For

They need a bit more space and food. I learned this the hard way when mine decided a single worm wasn’t enough and gave me the stare. Now he eats like a small lizard king.

If you’re into geckos that feel like small dragons in your hand, the Super Giant is your guy. Just don’t try to fit him into a tiny hide—he’ll judge you for it.

8. Eclipse

Ah, the Eclipse morph. This one’s got eyes darker than my coffee on a Monday morning. Seriously, it’s known for its all-black eyes, which gives it a deep, mysterious vibe like it knows your secrets.

I remember the first time I saw one. I leaned in, thinking my flashlight was broken or something. Nope. Just a gecko staring into my soul.

Here’s what makes the Eclipse morph so cool:

Key Traits

Solid black eyes
Can come in any body color or pattern
Often used in combo morphs to create wild new looks

Common Combinations

Combo Morph	What You Get
Mack Snow Eclipse	Pale body + those dark, dreamy eyes
Raptor	Eclipse + Albino + Patternless
Super Snow Eclipse	Super soft tones + all-black eyes

Quick Tip

Not all Eclipses have a dark soul. Some are absolute sweethearts. But those eyes? Still haunting.

If you ever meet one, don’t be surprised if you catch yourself whispering your secrets. They just have that kind of face.

9. Enigma

This morph lives up to its name. Enigmas are confusing, unpredictable, and oddly mesmerizing. They’re like the abstract art of the gecko world—you’re not sure what’s going on, but you keep staring.

What they look like:

Think scattered spots, broken patterns, and a touch of chaos. No clean bands or clear layout. Just wild, random splotches that make each Enigma one of a kind.

Color game?

All over the place. You might see yellows, whites, oranges, sometimes even lavender hints. The tail often ends in white, like someone dipped it in paint and got distracted.

Now here’s the tricky part…

Behavioral quirks:

Enigmas come with a genetic issue called Enigma Syndrome. And it’s not rare.

Here’s what can happen:

They spin like they’re chasing their own tail
Miss their food even when it’s right in front of them
Walk like they’re on a bumpy boat

It’s a neurological thing. And while not all Enigmas have it, the risk is always there. Some owners handle it like champs. Others end up frustrated or sad.

So, should you get one?

If you’re new to geckos, probably not. If you’re experienced and know what you’re getting into, maybe. They are absolutely gorgeous. But gorgeous doesn’t always mean easy.

Let’s just say Enigmas are the high-maintenance artists of the gecko scene. Brilliant. Baffling. And not for everyone.

10. Lavender

Lavender leopard geckos look like a dream that got halfway through coloring itself in. They’ve got this soft purple tone that makes you double-take and wonder—“Is that real or did someone mess with the photo filter?”

I’ve only seen one in person. It looked like it had just strolled out of a fairy tale. Light purples mixed with faint yellows and whites, like a scoop of melted sherbet.

But here’s the deal—Lavender is still kind of a “maybe” morph.

Why?

Because the color fades. That beautiful pastel tone doesn’t always stick around. A gecko might start out with that lovely hue, but by the time it’s grown? Boom—gone. Just a regular-looking lizard with a fancy baby album.

Things to know:

Color: Faint purples, lilacs, or grays when young
Pattern: Can mix with stripes, blotches, or bold markings
Rarity: Pretty rare. Not many breeders can lock in the lavender look long-term
Temperament: Same as most leos—chill and curious

Worth the hype?

If you’re collecting unique morphs and don’t mind a color that might ghost you over time, sure. But if you’re in it just for the purple, maybe wait a few years until the trait gets more stable.

Lavenders are like a gecko’s version of a holographic sticker—eye-catching, mysterious, and not always what they seem once you peel back the layer.
