Default Guide to leopard gecko morphs

I thought i would make a guide for people with most if not all leopard gecko morphs as there seems to be so may post requesting what morph is my leo. I will be doing one morph per post so please if people cannot comment until i say its finished. Some pics will be mine but most will not they will be off the web. hopefully should have baby pics of the morphs aswell. If you have a good pic of a morph send it to me and i may include it in this guide. Thanks for looking hope this helps!
