Super Cappuccino Crested Gecko

Super Cappuccino, also called Melanistic, is the two-copy form of Cappuccino; it hatches but has documented health problems, including narrowed nostrils and breathing difficulty.

Pairing two Cappuccinos gives about 25% Super Cappuccino. Unlike Super Lilly White, Super Cappuccinos usually hatch, but breeders document serious health problems: narrowed (stenosed) nostrils, breathing difficulty and poor thriving. Some breeders report that cooler incubation reduces the structural problems without removing them. For these reasons most breeders avoid Cappuccino x Cappuccino and the other pairings that can make one: Luwak x Luwak, Luwak x Cappuccino and Frappuccino x Cappuccino. Cappuccino to a normal, or to a Sable, never makes a Super Cappuccino.

Cappuccino x Cappuccino gives about 25% Super Cappuccino, 50% Cappuccino and 25% normal.

Inheritance: Incomplete dominant. Category: Structure. Rarity: rare. Breeding: health risk, avoid. Also called: Melanistic, Super Capp.

Key features

Two copies of Cappuccino
Documented narrowed nostrils and breathing difficulty
Usually hatches, unlike Super Lilly White

How to tell it apart

Cappuccino: A Cappuccino has one copy and none of the super form's documented health problems.
Luwak: A Luwak has one Cappuccino copy and one Sable copy, so it is never a Super Cappuccino.

Cappuccino x Sable, the safer pairing: Pair a Cappuccino to a normal (about half Cappuccino) or to a Sable (about a quarter Luwak) instead. Neither pairing can make a Super Cappuccino.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Super Cappuccino crested gecko?

Super Cappuccino, also called Melanistic, is the two-copy form of Cappuccino; it hatches but has documented health problems, including narrowed nostrils and breathing difficulty.

What does a Super Cappuccino crested gecko look like?

A typical Super Cappuccino crested gecko shows these features: two copies of Cappuccino; documented narrowed nostrils and breathing difficulty; usually hatches, unlike Super Lilly White.

How do I identify a Super Cappuccino crested gecko?

To identify a Super Cappuccino crested gecko, check these points: check nostril openings at hatch on any baby from a pairing that can make one; lineage tells you whether both parents carried Cappuccino.

What is the difference between Super Cappuccino and Cappuccino?

A Cappuccino has one copy and none of the super form's documented health problems.

How is Super Cappuccino inherited?

Super Cappuccino is the two-copy form of Cappuccino, an incomplete-dominant gene. It usually hatches but has documented health problems, so breeders avoid pairings that can make one.
