Eclipse

Gene

Eclipse is a recessive leopard gecko morph centered on eye expression, which may produce solid black eyes, snake eyes, or other reduced-iris appearances. It can also be associated with white markings on the nose or tail in some combinations, but the eye trait is the defining feature. Eclipse is a key ingredient in named projects such as RAPTOR, Radar, Typhoon, and Diablo Blanco, where albino lines and other traits change the final look.

Care is not fundamentally different for Eclipse leopard geckos, although keepers should check that eye structure, feeding accuracy, and navigation are normal. Breeding requires attention because Eclipse can be hidden in carriers and can change the meaning of other morph names when combined with albino lines. Clear photos of both eyes, parent information, and honest genetic records are especially useful when selling or selecting breeding animals. For pet keepers, a steady feeder with healthy eyes is more important than chasing a particular eye split.

How Eclipse works

Leopard geckos show Eclipse only with two copies. One copy makes a het, which looks normal but can pass Eclipse on.

Leopard Gecko Care: Enclosure, Heat, UVB, Feeding, and Shedding

A leopard gecko comes out at dusk, lives on the ground rather than in branches, closes its eyes with real eyelids, and takes most of its body heat from whatever it is lying on. Nearly every care decision follows from those four facts, and most advice online ignores at least one. Three pillars of the […]

How Long Do Leopard Geckos Live? Lifespan, Aging, and Records

Veterinary references place leopard gecko longevity around 20 years in captivity, and a well-documented animal can reach or exceed 20. The Royal Veterinary College says up to 20 years, Merck lists 20-plus, and the University of Montreal veterinary hospital gives a 20-year captive average. Those are planning references, not a guarantee. Date of hatch, lifelong […]
