2026 High-End Morphs
Below is a list of what you can expect to get in these lots. Designer - what we used to call "High-End" denotes that you'll get some really cool, flashy looking geckos that aren't necessarily worth a ton of money - stuff that might go for a few hundred dollars at retail once they have some size.
- High Quality Pinstripes
You will usually see a good number of full pins with excellent color and structure from many of the various projects listed below.
- Quad Stripes
I coined the term "lateral striping" back in the mid-2000's and we've been focused on awesome lateral markings - striping included - ever since. You'll see evidence of that in a lot of the Pinstripes and Phantom Pins that you get.
- Red Pinstripes & Phantoms
Red Harlequins, which later developed into Red Pinstripes, were our first designer crested gecko project and we produce a good number of them. This is the toughest base color to identify in young geckos, but I've gotten pretty good at it over the years. If you see a hatchling from us that looks tan or grey, but has a slightly pinkish hue in bright lighting - that's red pigment just starting to develop.
- C2/Citrus Line Pinstripes, Phantoms & Dalmatians
We produce some of the brightest and cleanest colored yellows and oranges in the hobby, largely due to the development of the "C2" cream-on-cream project and what it eventually did for our Citrus project.
- Tangerine Pinstripe Crosses & Phantoms
(Lavender/Black & Yellow/Orange Bases) - Halloween Pinstripes & Phantom Pins
- Pink-Red Dalmatians & Possible Super Dalmatians
- Awesome Phantom Pinstripes
We have one of the largest Phantom collections on the planet and most of those have been produced in the past 5 years. Our phantom projects are advancing rapidly and you'll see the evidence of that in our high-end and ultra high-end wholesale geckos. Base colors run the gamut just like all our non-Phantom projects. Pattern variants include Quad Stripes, Dalmatians, and even some lower expression Whiteout (het for Whitewall) and Portholes as well.
- Harlequins & Extreme Harlequins
Harlequins from both our red and lavender/black Harlequin lineages.
- Lower Expression Whiteouts (Het Whitewall)
We are now including some low to medium white examples of the popular Whiteout or "Whitewall" lateral markings.
- Soft Scale Combos
We're currently doing a ton of outcrossing with the ever-exciting Soft Scale project, so there are going to be a number of Soft Scales in these lots that will become much more obvious with a little age. These will come in all colors and will make awesome super softs when bred together!
2026 Ultra High-End Morphs
Below is a list of genes/projects you'll see in these groups. These are from our most current generations and from all the projects ACR is known for.
Empty Back Combos
This project is one that's going to make a huge impact on the entire market all at once because of how it played out here. We've produced enough of this gene that we can sell them at a variety of prices. What you'll see in the Ultras for 2025 will be Het Empty combos, which will have top notch colors and structure. Some of these will have Whiteout (het Whitewall) lateral markings and there will be a small number of geckos I believe are likely Super Empties slipped into these lots, but you'll have to breed them (and get all het empties if bred to a non-empty) to be certain.
Soft Scale & Super Soft Combos
We’re producing some INSANE stuff with these genes. Soft scale is doing big things combined with lavender/black types and with the bright base colors. I have some nice stuff set aside for these packages that will blow you away as babies, and you’ll keep being blown away as you see them mature. Supers can be tough to pick out when they're this young compared to how obvious they are as adults, but a number of these geckos will prove to be super softs.
Pink-Red Base Color Combos
We have about half a dozen different lineages of pink/red ciliatus, all developed in-house starting anywhere from 15 years ago, to a little over 20 years ago. In that time they've been consistently outcross, with attention paid to appearance and lineage - the goal being to produce near-identical geckos from different lineages, so that we could breed them together - effectively giving us the most genetic diversity and the most consistent color possible.
Pink-Red Dalmatian & Super Dalmatian Combos
The Most Heavily Spotted Babies We Produce - Many, but not all, will become heavily spotted Super Dalmatians. You'll also start to see red spots and porthole lateral markings, as I'm working hard on a "Tri-Color Dalmatian" appearance on my Red Phantom Dalmatians. The idea here is to put red and black Dalmatian spots with Portholes on a pink/red Phantom.
C2 Project Combos - C2/Citrus & C2/Tangerine Line Yellows & Oranges
The BEST yellows and oranges on the planet, hands down. These will BLOW YOUR MIND as they grow...and the pattern combos are only getting better each season.
Lavender and Lavender/Black & Cream Project
The majority of our Ultras being shipped will have Whiteout Laterals and/or Tangerine Pigment, lots of soft scales in this variety as well. You'll also see the occasional visual het Empty Back in this color type.
Jet Black Halloween Harlequin and Halloween Tri-Color Projects
Some of the nicest color and structure you’ve ever seen. Many are Soft Scales. Empty Back is another gene you'll see in here, occasionally.
Top Shelf Phantom Combos
We are doing BIG things with the Phantom gene now and they are POPULAR. We're now getting lots of whiteout markings, great structure & color. You'll be impressed with how they look and at how popular they are with customers. A lot of our Phantoms are now carrying the Soft Scale and Harry line structure genes, which makes them a great platform to build on and to add to existing projects, whether it be to improve size/structure or add genes to.
Whiteout/Whitewall Laterals on All Kinds of Stuff!!!
These have been worked into all of our top projects, so you’ll see some of that in a variety of projects.
LIMITED TIME OFFER
Once these are gone, it'll be a while before they're available again due us to being sold out of juveniles for an extended period - get these while you can!
