About
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. [1]

Appearance
Head
The head is unaffected by this trait.
Body
This is a bit more of an obscure trait which describes a base pattern that is mostly reticulated, but with some uniformity. The uniformity does not form full banding, but is not completely random either. There are no bold, defined markings as you would see with a banded reticulated animal. [2]
Belly
The belly is unaffected by this trait.
Tail
The tail is unaffected by this trait.
Proven Lines
No known proven lines.
