Bicolor

A bicolor crested gecko is a pattern description for Correlophus ciliatus with two main tones: a base color and a contrasting dorsal or body shade, usually without heavy side patterning. Many bicolors look clean and simple compared with flame, harlequin, or extreme harlequin geckos. The colors may be tan and brown, orange and darker orange, red and burgundy, or other paired shades, and the distinction can become stronger when the gecko is fired up.

Because bicolor is a descriptive label rather than a tightly defined gene, breeders use it somewhat differently. A young gecko with very little pattern may later develop more contrast or spotting, so buyers should look at parent animals and updated photos when choosing for a project. Husbandry does not change with the morph: these arboreal New Caledonian geckos need secure climbing space, leafy hides, steady room-temperature warmth, and careful handling, especially because dropped tails do not regrow in this species.
