Moonglow Crested Gecko
Moonglow is a disputed name associated with the goal of a persistently white crested gecko, not a reliably identifiable visual morph or confirmed genotype.
Very pale fired-down animals, lighting and image editing can create an apparently white gecko. A near-white photograph should not be presented as proof of a stable all-white morph. Proposed combinations intended to remove pigment are hypotheses until documented in actual animals.
The name has long circulated around the idea of an all-white crested gecko.
Do not assign Moonglow from a pale photograph or use the name as proof of genetics.
Inheritance: Line-bred. Category: Color modifier. Rarity: very rare. Typical adult price: No reliable price standard for this disputed label. Also called: True Moonglow.
Key features
- No reliable visual identification standard
- Firing state and lighting can strongly affect apparent whiteness
- Speculative combinations must be distinguished from observed animals
How to tell it apart
- Lilly White: Lilly White is an established trait with variable pale pattern; it is not defined as an all-white animal.
- Albino: Albinism concerns melanin and eye pigmentation, not simply a pale body.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Moonglow crested gecko?
Moonglow is a disputed name associated with the goal of a persistently white crested gecko, not a reliably identifiable visual morph or confirmed genotype.
What does a Moonglow crested gecko look like?
A typical Moonglow crested gecko shows these features: no reliable visual identification standard; firing state and lighting can strongly affect apparent whiteness; speculative combinations must be distinguished from observed animals.
How do I identify a Moonglow crested gecko?
To identify a Moonglow crested gecko, check these points: compare neutral-light photographs in different natural firing states; ask for documented evidence rather than an edited white image.
What is the difference between Moonglow and Lilly White?
Lilly White is an established trait with variable pale pattern; it is not defined as an all-white animal.
How is Moonglow inherited?
Moonglow is classified as line-bred. Not a single gene, a "look" maintained by repeated pairings of animals that share the trait. Expresses on a gradient.
How much does a Moonglow crested gecko cost?
A typical adult Moonglow crested gecko sells for No reliable price standard for this disputed label. Quality, sex, age and lineage move an individual animal within that range.
What other morphs combine with Moonglow?
Moonglow is often combined with Albino, Axanthic, Cream, White Wall and Lilly White.
Who discovered or first produced Moonglow crested geckos?
The name has long circulated around the idea of an all-white crested gecko.
