Morph library
Every morph the renderer draws, in plain words. Each gecko shown here was drawn from its genes by the same renderer that runs in the builder, so nothing is a painted mock-up.
This library exists to show you the animal. For the written reference, with inheritance tables and breeder notes, see the crested gecko morph guide on ReptiDex, and for predicting a pairing, the crested gecko genetics calculator.
