Red Spot

Dalmatian spots in red rather than black.

Red Spot

What it looks like

Red Spot is not a different kind of mark. It is the same Dalmatian spotting carrying red pigment instead of black, in the same sizes and the same places.

The name is a ratio. A gecko with mostly black spots and a little red is called a Dalmatian with red spots; once the red outnumbers the black it is a Red Spot Dalmatian. Either way a few black spots usually remain among the red.

Red goes with any size of spot, so a red Ink Spot is a perfectly ordinary thing to see.

Red spots turn up far more readily on red, hypo and yellow geckos than on dark ones, and breeders report that an ordinary black Dalmatian line will not start producing them on its own: a red-spotted animal has to be brought in.

The same gecko before and after.

The black does not all go

Even a strong Red Spot keeps a few black marks among the red, which is what the photographs of these animals show.

The record is short

The genetics database this library is built from has no entry for Red Spot yet, so there are no notes, named combinations or cross-references on this page. What is above comes from the renderer and from Dusty's own pairings.

Entry 24 of 32. Every gecko on this page was drawn from its own genes just now, by the renderer that draws them in the game. For the written reference and a pairing calculator, see the crested gecko morph guide on ReptiDex.
