Leopard

incomplete dominant (trade usage)partly sourced

First produced: Peter Kahl Reptiles line; Greg Graziani produced the first shown Leopards in 2005 from a Leopard Pied bought as a Piebald (Morphpedia)

How to recognise it

Head	Very dark brown to black with a slightly lighter stamp in the centre; eye stripes and lips as normal but brighter.
Pattern	Jet-black puzzle pattern with messy, broken alien heads; the tail is dominated by these markings either side of the dorsal stripe.
Colour	Bright yellow as a baby with blushing along the black.
Belly	Bright white and unmarked.
Eyes	Not yet verified against a source.
With age	Yellow fades as the animal matures, so adults are harder to pick than hatchlings.

Rows marked "not yet verified" are withheld until they can be cited. Inheritance is the trade's usage unless a source below states it.
