Mandarin is a very high end line of tangerine known to produce the most orangy/red toned leopard geckos on the market along with deep green pigments popping out in the linage especially when combined with bold, inferno, or other emerine lines. It is a staple project of what we do here at Geeky Gecko Creations, using it to bring out the best oranges, reds, and greens out of many projects! :D

Clown is a mix of genetics as outlined in our Clown Genetics video here: https://youtu.be/DtR7qtqNuE0?si=eFGmIXXwF_H094aD The main goal of the project was to make a gecko with jungle pattern that highlights both tangerines and emerines. Clowns can look amazing when young but most will drastically change color and appearance as the gecko ages. Blacks to Purple then Green then fade to Orange over time and Yellows Turn Orange then Burnt Orange as time goes on.

Like with any linebred project you will have some clowns that show a higher expression of the desired goal of the project and others a low expression but as long as they come from strong lineage of clowns you should be able to create awesome looking animals with your projects over time regardless.

There are 2 primary forms of Red Stripe leopard geckos. We have a video on our YouTube channel clearly showing both here: https://youtu.be/fmUWNGDhsoA?si=wyvciMKz2zjqx6PH

Form 1: two thin bright Red/Orange lines straddling the top center of the geckos back moving down the spine towards the geckos tail

Form 2: two thick orange stripes straddling each lateral side of the geckos near the shoulders moving down towards the geckos tail

Most of the time form 1 is seen in pure tangerine morphs and form 2 is seen in tangerine crosses.
