Black leopard gecko baby
A while ago i started a thread on here about my black leo i had hatch, it was jet black - Gazz will remember i think.
Now it's been 3 sheds and the leo hasnt grown much and is still jet black, the mum was an enigma and the father was a murpheys. How can this happen, as its always black yet the other blizzard i have changes color depending on temps - its also the smallest of the babies still and has a habit of bullying the bigger ones.

If you put up a picture, it will help show us if its actually the pigment or stress. Mutations occur all the time in the wild, its just they are often weaker, preyed upon or bullied out of existance. In captivity random things are gonna happen too. Post up a current pic of it and someone will have something clever to say about it.
If it turns out to be healthy, maybe you will have a little breeding project on your hands to try and 'prove it out'

Pics are on the way as we speak, it doesnt look like a black pearl because it lacks banding that they have but its almost melanistic with no spots or markings at all.

Have there been other blizzards hatch from that pairing?
It definately does seem to be holding the colour well, does the colour change at all?

My first thoughts are blizzard or patternless.
I would definately test breed it to a blizzard, paternless and it's parent. Definately a keeper whether it proves out or not!
