    enigmas and raptors
    i'm pretty new to leopard geckos and i'm trying to get my head around the morphs. can some one please explain the enigmas and raptors. are they dominate or recessive? i've looked at pictures of them and everytime they look different. it's not as easy as balls. i look at a cinny and know its a cinny. so confusing.

    Enigmas are dominant, and also said to have a shake similar to spider ball pythons that worsens with enigma-enigma breedings. At least that's what I've heard.

    The ENIGMAS also can display a physical defect in the form of shaking, spinning and/or head arching. The exact reason for this behavior is still largely unknown, but it is seen to a lesser degree in young whereby only one parent is an ENIGMA. ENIGMAS bred to each other may amplify this problem. Some ENIGMAS do not display any problems whatsoever while others reveal abnormal movements only when they are disturbed.

    I don't have personal experience with it, but I would imagine there are varying degrees of it, similar to balls.
