It is an exciting time to be an African Fat Tail gecko(AFT) breeder. AFT breedings have been producing new morphs/genetics over the past 5-6 years and the excitement is starting to catch on. There are many combination morphs that have not been combined and/or breeders haven't hit all the visual forms of the combinations they have combined.
Below is a list of current African Fat Tail gecko morphs and their genetic make up.

Stinger | The back bands are connected. The bottom band comes to a point which resembles a stinger on an bee or wasp. Not proven: allelic with Patternless This is a newer morph and was originally thought to be co-dominant with the super form being a super stinger. Super Stingers/Zeros have since been proven to be recessive. The stinger/zero form has been thought to be a hetrozygous marker similiar to highly speckled leopard geckos that are het for the simple recessive traits of patternless and blizzard. |
