Frequently asked questions
How do I identify my crested gecko's morph?
Upload a clear, well-lit photo of your crested gecko to ReptiDex's morph identifier. The AI model analyzes visual characteristics and returns confidence-scored predictions for each detected allele within seconds. For best results, photograph the gecko's full dorsal side against a neutral background.
What crested gecko morphs can ReptiDex identify?
The model detects a wide range of crested gecko traits including lilly white, harlequin, pinstripe, dalmatian, phantom, axanthic, cream on cream, partial pinstripe, flame, tiger, dark base, and more. The model is continually trained on new data as the ReptiDex database grows.
Is the crested gecko morph identifier free?
Yes. You can try one free identification without an account. Free ReptiDex accounts include 3 identifications per month. Pro accounts get unlimited identifications, and results are automatically saved to your animal profiles.
How accurate is AI crested gecko morph identification?
Accuracy varies by trait and image quality. High-confidence predictions above 75% are generally reliable for visually distinct morphs like lilly white, pinstripe, and dalmatian. The AI works best with clear, close-up photos in natural lighting. Always verify genetics through lineage documentation before making breeding decisions.
What makes a good photo for morph identification?
Use a clear, well-lit photo showing the gecko's full dorsal side against a plain background. Natural lighting produces the most accurate color representation. Avoid photos taken through glass, blurry images, or shots where the gecko is curled or partially hidden. JPEG, PNG, and WebP formats are all accepted.
Can I save morph identification results to my crested gecko's profile?
Yes. With a ReptiDex account you can apply predicted alleles directly to an animal's genetics profile in one click. You can adjust zygosity, add notes, and build a complete genetic history for each animal in your collection.
