Charlie is a reduced morph tokay.  He has light red freckling but no consistent pattern.

Reduced Tokays

Tokay morphs are a horribly complicated and confused sludge of misnamed geckos, most of which can't be reliably reproduced.

A handful of these aren't even born with the morph coloring but change over time so there's no way to tell if your breeding was a success. 

​

  The Reduced Morph standard pattern has a random amount of spots on the back, from some to none, and always has the white lines.  Legs and belly are patternless and the head can have marbling or be bare but will not have spots.  

​

Despite much confusion it's not a patternless morph.  The really low contrast ones can appear that way, but breeding always proves it out as a codominant morph and not a recessive like the true patternless.  

​

It's unknown if there is a super form but it seems unlikely. 

Reduced morph babies all hatch with bright white lines.  Here is Charlie again with some of his offspring.

Patternless geckos are creamy smooth and have no lines or blemishes at all.   This is Hades from Tokay Proz.

​

Patternless are born patternless.  Some will have a bit of a stripey tail which fades away as they age.   It's a recessive gene which means both parents have to have patternless lineage for patternless babies to be born.

Despite Delta's attempt to look patternless in Pic 1,  you can clearly see her pattern in Pic 2 

​

She's a low contrast morph so all she really has for pattern are the white bands.  

I love Charlie's speckled pattern so I've been trying to reproduce it in his offspring.  It looks like I may have succeed with this female. 

Here is Charlie again, mid-stripease
