Black Night

Black Night is a selectively bred leopard gecko line developed for unusually dark, high-melanin appearance. Strong examples show deep charcoal to black coverage across much of the body, though shade can vary with age, temperature, stress, shed cycle, and outcrossing. It is generally treated as a line-bred project rather than a simple single-gene recessive morph, so predictability depends heavily on the parents and the breeder's selection history. The darkest hatchling is not always the best adult.

Keepers manage Black Night leopard geckos like other healthy leopard geckos, with correct belly heat, dry and humid hides, careful shedding support, varied insect feeding, calcium supplementation, and calm handling. Buyers should ask for parent photos, hatchling-to-adult expectations, and normal-light images because dark animals can lighten or vary as they mature. Breeders need to balance color intensity with vigor, fertility, structure, and unrelated blood. Selecting only for darkness can narrow a line too quickly and create weak breeding decisions.
