**Also called:** Melanistic, Super Capp  
**Rarity:** Rare  
**Inheritance:** Incomplete dominant  
**Category:** Structure

**Definition.** 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.

Two copies of Cappuccino. Hatches, but has documented health problems; breeders advise against producing it.

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.

**Key features:**
- Two copies of Cappuccino
- Documented narrowed nostrils and breathing difficulty
- Usually hatches, unlike Super Lilly White

**How to identify it:**
- Check nostril openings at hatch on any baby from a pairing that can make one
- Lineage tells you whether both parents carried Cappuccino

**Lookalikes and how to tell them apart:**
- Cappuccino (https://geckinspect.com/MorphGuide/cappuccino): A Cappuccino has one copy and none of the super form's documented health problems.
- Luwak (https://geckinspect.com/MorphGuide/luwak): A Luwak has one Cappuccino copy and one Sable copy, so it is never a Super Cappuccino.

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