Stripe

Stripe leopard geckos are selected for longitudinal body markings rather than the more typical broken bands and spots of wild type animals. A good stripe may run along the back, sides, or tail depending on the line, and it may be clean, broken, wide, or narrow. The term is often used for a pattern direction rather than a single simple inheritance, so stripe can appear alongside albino, tangerine, snow, jungle, or reverse stripe traits.

Basic care is unchanged: secure terrestrial housing, stable belly heat, hides, a humid shedding area, and balanced insect feeding. For breeding and sales, the useful distinction is between a gecko that merely has some lined markings and one from a line selected for repeatable stripe expression. Pattern can shift with growth, so early photos help. Buyers looking for a pet can focus on health and temperament, while breeders should ask how consistently the parents and siblings show the stripe pattern.
