# Lilly White

_Permalink: https://geckinspect.com/MorphGuide/lilly-white_

**Also called:** LW, Lilly  
**Rarity:** Uncommon  
**Inheritance:** Incomplete dominant  
**Category:** Structure  
**Typical adult price:** $300 to $900

**Definition.** A Lilly White crested gecko carries an incomplete-dominant trait associated with distinctive white or cream coverage, which varies with age and other traits.

Proven incomplete-dominant trait producing bold white markings, the super form is lethal.

Lilly White produces variable white or cream pattern that often becomes more extensive with age. Breeders assess multiple features, including tail, flank and ventral coloration, alongside lineage. High white coverage alone is insufficient: other traits may resemble it, and low-expression or Phantom combinations can look quite different.

**History.** The founding project was established by Nick Lumb at Lilly Exotics in the United Kingdom, beginning with an unusual hatchling in late 2010.

**Key features:**
- Variable white or cream coverage
- Tail, flank and ventral features help guide comparison
- Two copies are associated with a lethal super form; avoid Lilly White-to-Lilly White pairings

**How to identify it:**
- Compare multiple regions with documented, age-matched examples
- Use lineage to support identification

**Lookalikes and how to tell them apart:**
- White Wall (https://geckinspect.com/MorphGuide/white-wall): White flank pattern alone does not establish Lilly White.
- Frappuccino (https://geckinspect.com/MorphGuide/frappuccino): Frappuccino also carries Cappuccino; greater whiteness is not proof.
- Cream (https://geckinspect.com/MorphGuide/cream): Cream is a visible color description, not confirmation of Lilly White.

**Often combined with:** White Wall, Soft Scale, Cappuccino, Axanthic, Harlequin, Extreme Harlequin, Dalmatian

**Current asking prices (Geck Inspect Price Index, 2026-10-06).** Asking prices on public crested gecko listings, converted to USD, not sale prices. Full dataset: https://geckinspect.com/data/price-index.json

| Market | Listings | 25th percentile | Median | 75th percentile |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| United States | 1191 | $250 | $400 | $600 |
| South Korea | 560 | $149 | $298 | $671 |
| Japan | 22 | $237 | $303 | $493 |
| Europe | 11 | $112 | $112 | $126 |

**Notes.** The homozygous super form has been reported to die before or shortly after hatching. A Lilly White-to-non-Lilly pairing avoids producing that genotype; it cannot guarantee general offspring health.
