At a glance
The tradeoffs, honestly
Stripe width and continuity vary, and breeders describe its inheritance differently, so outcomes are not fully predictable. Care is the same as any fat-tail.
Common questions
How is the stripe inherited?
Breeders describe it in different ways, and results vary. Pairing striped to striped gives the best odds of striped babies. Ask the breeder what their pairings have produced.
Can it be combined with other morphs?
Yes. Stripe shows on normals and on morphs such as whiteout or Oreo, which is why so many combos carry it.
What health test should I ask for?
Ask whether the colony has had a crypto test and a clear fecal, since crypto causes wasting with no reliable cure. A thick tail and clean toe sheds are good signs.
What health tests should a Striped african fat-tailed gecko have?
Ask for Fecal exam clear, Cryptosporidium PCR negative, Exotics vet exam on file, Genetics report for het claims, Hatch or birth record on file and Photo ID on file.
