History
This is one of the first morphs recognized in crested geckos that was different from the initial wild collected animals. As stated in The Rhacodactylus, “we did not find a single representative of the ‘fire’ morph in the wild… The first wild-collected ‘fire’ pattered crested geckos appeared on the U.S. market in late 1995.”. [1]
Appearance
Body
Flame crested geckos will have a base colour with a lighter colour along the dorsal. Flames will show little to no pattern on their laterals or limbs. [2]
Flames display one base color and one color on the dorsum. The dorsum strip is broken by the base color. [3]
The morph is defined by pattern color on the dorsum and subtle patterning color on the limbs and laterals. The pattern color ranges from white to orange with intermediate colors. [4]
