Crested Gecko morph
Crested Gecko (Correlophus ciliatus)
Homozygous Empty Back morph showing extensive back pattern clearing. Radical reduction of dorsal pattern coloring.
Reduces or eliminates dorsal/back pattern coloring while retaining pattern structure on sides. Heterozygous shows moderate pattern reduction on back; homozygous shows extensive back clearing. Antagonistic with Harlequin (overcomes concentration).
How to identify it: Empty Back animals show reduced/cleared dorsal pattern. Super Empty Back shows extensive clearing.
Super Empty Back follows a incomplete dominant inheritance pattern, carried on the Empty Back allele (locus EB).
