Murphy Patternless Leopard Gecko

Murphy-Patternless Leopard Gecko

Origin of Murphy

The Murphy Patternless is a leopard gecko that Pat Murphy first created in 1991 and is devoid of any pattern. They will emerge from the egg with a light-colored body and sporadic tan, gray, or brown markings. The gecko’s markings will have fully disappeared by the time it is 10 months old, and its body color will range from deep purple to yellow. Breeders have successfully incorporated the carrot tail into the Murphy Patternless Leopard Geckos over many generations. It is a basic recessive feature called the Murphy Patternless trait.

Genetics

If a Murphy Patternless and a Normal Leopard Gecko are bred, all of the hatchlings will be heterozygous for the Murphy Patternless trait. This characteristic is a straightforward recessive trait. A 25% possibility of producing Murphy Patternless Leopard Geckos would result from breeding the hatchlings back to each other. There would be a 66.7% likelihood that the remaining kids would be heterozygous for Murphy Patternless.

Appearance

Adults have eyes with typical colors. They will emerge from the egg with a light-colored body and sporadic tan, gray, or brown markings. The gecko’s markings will have fully disappeared by the time it is 10 months old, and its body color will range from deep purple to yellow.
