Super Empty Back Crested Gecko
Super Empty Back is the two-copy form of Empty Back in the Foundation Genetics model, with the back cleared further than in a single-copy Empty Back.
In the Foundation Genetics model, two copies of Empty Back suppress the back pattern further and often sharpen the contrast on the sides. The model describes the super form as healthy and freely breedable, unlike Super Lilly White or Super Cappuccino. Published breeding records are still thin, so treat a Super Empty Back label as a lineage claim: it needs two Empty Back parents and, ideally, test breeding.
Inheritance: Incomplete dominant. Category: Pattern. Rarity: very rare.
Key features
- Two copies of Empty Back
- Back cleared further, sides often higher contrast
- Described as healthy, with no reported super-form problems
How to tell it apart
- Empty Back: A single copy also clears the back; telling one copy from two by eye is unreliable, so use the parents.
