Gene
Noir Desir Black Eye, often shortened to NDBE, is a recessive leopard gecko eye trait: hatchlings have fully black eyes, and the black can spread out or fade with age. A gecko needs two copies to show it, and test crosses show it is a different gene from Eclipse. Eye deformities are reported in some NDBE geckos, and one reference reports infertility in many visual females.
Leopard geckos show Noir Desir Black Eye only with two copies. One copy makes a het, which looks normal but can pass Noir Desir Black Eye on.
Eye deformities, usually small or misshapen eyes, are reported in some visual Noir Desir Black Eye geckos (two copies). One breeder says they do not seem to affect sight or well-being.
One breeder who worked with the gene early reports that most visual Noir Desir Black Eye females seem to be infertile. No other source found confirms this.

On October 31, 2026, PetSmart’s regular list price for its leopard gecko was $34.99 (sold in stores only), and Lollypop Farm, the humane society in Rochester, […]
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 […]
Leopard gecko morphs are names for differences in color, pattern or inherited traits within the same species. Some names describe a visible look, some identify a breeding line, and some refer to a studied mutation; a photograph cannot establish all of that information. If you are identifying a gecko you already own, start its animal […]
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 […]
