Lilly White

Crested Gecko · 0 live listings

Lilly White is an incomplete-dominant crested gecko gene that adds bright white patterning, often across the sides and head. One copy makes a Lilly White, and the two-copy super form is lethal, so two Lilly Whites should never be paired together.

The tradeoffs, honestly

The gene has a lethal super form, so every pairing must use one Lilly White and one non-Lilly White. The amount of white varies, and some low-expression animals are hard to tell apart.

Common questions

Why can I not breed two Lilly Whites?

Two copies of the gene are lethal. A Lilly White to Lilly White pairing is expected to produce super forms that do not survive, so responsible breeders always pair Lilly White to non-Lilly White.

How do I know it is really a Lilly White?

Ask for parent photos and records showing one parent was a Lilly White. Low-expression animals can look like ordinary harlequins, so lineage matters more than the description.

What health checks matter?

A hatch record, a steady weight log and whether the tail is original, since tail loss is permanent in cresteds. Ask whether the colony has had a clear fecal or a crypto test.
