One copy · carrier
A gecko with one variant copy can carry Murphy’s Patternless without expressing the adult patternless phenotype.

Appearance
Young geckos may show faint markings along the neck and back. These fade with age, leaving a relatively even body color. An adult can resemble Blizzard, so check lineage rather than relying on a photograph.
