Lilly White Identification: How Top Breeders Spot Carriers
Learn how experienced breeders identify Lilly White crested geckos before pairing. Covers visual markers, the lethal super form, and why lineage beats eyeballing every time.
TL;DR: Lilly White is an incomplete-dominant morph: one copy is visual, two copies produce a lethal Super Lilly White that never hatches. Q: Is there such a thing as a 'het Lilly White' crested gecko? A: No. Lilly White is incomplete-dominant, not recessive. A single copy produces a visible animal with distinct white markings. There is no phenotypically normal carrier form. If a gecko looks normal, it does not carry the Lilly White gene. Any listing for 'het Lilly White' is a misuse of terminology.
