About
Pinstripe crested geckos are considered a single, independent trait, whereas a morph is generally a group of traits or specific look, like flame, tiger or harlequin, but they can be easily treated as a morph. [1]
If the pinstripe is slightly broken along the dorsal and between 90-99%, it would be a high % pinstripe. [2]
History
Originally produced out of animals from Allen Repashy. The hobby raced for several generation to create the first 100% pin. The race was followed by the first 100% Red pin, we were in the running and produced a few 99% before our first 100%. This was Pangea forum.
The pinstripe trait was first described by Allen Repashy and further defined in Rhacodactylus: The Complete Guide. The trait was defined as raised scales along the sides of the dorsum, separating it from the laterals.[3]
Appearance
Head
Pinstripe Can reach all the way up to the eyes.
Body
A pinstripe consists of full raised scales along the edge of the dorsal. The rest of the gecko’s dorsal can have flame/harlequin patterning, or it can be solid cream to match the pinstripe. In phantom animals the pin coloration is usually suppressed and the coloration is brightest at the base of the tail and fades moving towards the head.
Belly
The belly pattern can be effected and is oriented horizontally from the head to the tail
Tail
Tails can sometimes form pinstriping with animals that exhibit strong pinstripe.
Proven Lines
Partial Pinstripe
If the pinstripe is broken and forms no more than 90% of the dorsal edge, it would be a partial pinstripe
Pin-dashed
If a pinstripe has relatively large broken gaps along the dorsal, it would be a pin dash.
