Super Lilly White Crested Gecko

Super Lilly White is the two-copy form of Lilly White, and it is lethal: embryos die in the egg or within days of hatching.

Pairing two Lilly Whites gives about 25% Super Lilly White eggs. Those embryos die in the egg or within days of hatching, which is why Lilly White cannot be bred true and why Lilly White x Lilly White is the pairing every breeder warns against. The same applies to any two geckos that each carry Lilly White, including Frappuccinos. The Lilly White trait itself traces to Lilly Exotics (Nick Lumb) in the United Kingdom, starting with an unusual hatchling in late 2010. A seller offering a living Super Lilly White is mislabeling the animal.

Lilly White to a gecko without Lilly White gives about 50% Lilly White and never a Super Lilly White.

Inheritance: Incomplete dominant. Category: Structure. Rarity: never survives. Breeding: lethal, avoid. Also called: Super LW.

Key features

Two copies of Lilly White
Lethal: dies in the egg or within days of hatching
About 25% of eggs from Lilly White x Lilly White

How to tell it apart

Lilly White: A Lilly White has one copy and is healthy; two copies are lethal, so no living adult is a Super Lilly White.
Super Whiteout: Super Whiteout is a different gene and is described as healthy.

Lilly White x Normal, the safer pairing: Pair a Lilly White to a gecko without Lilly White instead. About half the babies are Lilly Whites, the same share Lilly White x Lilly White gives, and no egg is lost to the lethal super.
