Gold / Orange Phase Mourning Gecko
A warmer, gold-to-orange base tone seen in some clonal lineages, often more vivid at night or when active. Not a bred trait — individuals either belong to a lineage that expresses this tone or they don't.

The Standard Mottled Grey/Brown is a common mourning gecko morph with natural clonal variation genetics. The most common natural colouration — a muted grey-brown base with darker mottling or banding along the back, closely resembling wild populations.
The High-Contrast Banded is a uncommon mourning gecko morph with natural clonal variation genetics. Individuals showing bold, well-defined dark bands or chevrons across the back and tail base, standing out sharply against a lighter background tone..
The Speckled is a common mourning gecko morph with natural clonal variation genetics. Fine, scattered light or dark speckling across the body rather than banding, giving a more evenly textured appearance than the banded natural type..
The Diploid Clone Lines (2n) is a common mourning gecko morph with parthenogenetic, diploid (2 chromosome sets) genetics. One of the two broad genetic categories the species is split into by researchers.
The Triploid Clone Lines (3n) is a common mourning gecko morph with parthenogenetic, triploid (3 chromosome sets) genetics. The second broad genetic category, believed to have arisen from backcrosses between diploid lineages and a related sexually-reproducing parent species.
The Male-phenotype individual is a rare mourning gecko morph with extremely rare, effectively non-reproductive genetics. Very occasionally, an individual with male sexual characteristics turns up in a hatch.
