About
Geckos that combine stripes, broken stripes, and/or blotches along the sides. They are a result of breeding two striped animals heterozygous for striped. Because the banded trait has a weak codominant influence on the striped trait, multigeneration breeding of imperfectly striped animals can lead to increasingly atypical individuals. [1]

Appearance
Body
Base pattern of the gecko, generally a black or dark brown pigmentation, which changes based upon being fired up or down. When fired up, this is when the maximum amount of pigment is exhibited. When fired down, the pigment expressing cells are inactive and are either greatly muted or not visible. We have two main basic base pattern categories: Striped and Reticulated. From there, we have other forms that are also important to note individually: Super Stripe, Banded, Mosaic and Mottled. [2]
