What Super Highway looks like

Homozygous Highway morph (HWY/HWY) displaying unique super form phenotype. NOTE: Super Highway has documented health complications. Breeders report issues in homozygous animals similar to other allelic complex supers. Use caution in pairing planning. Source: Omni Geckos (omnigeckos.com/highway/).

Third allele in the Sable/Cappuccino allelic complex. Incomplete dominant trait affecting coloration and dorsal pattern expression. Highway x Cappuccino and Highway x Sable produce distinct compound heterozygote phenotypes.

How to identify it: Highway het animals show pinning that bleeds or drips inward over the dorsum. Distinct pebbly scalation texture. Orange wash at hatch fades with age.

How Super Highway is inherited

Super Highway follows a incomplete dominant inheritance pattern, carried on the Highway allele (locus HWY).

Combo morphs with Super Highway

  • Highway Cappuccino

    Compound heterozygote carrying Highway and Cappuccino at the same locus (SA/CAPP/HWY allelic complex). HEALTH NOTE: some Highway x Cappuccino compound hets have documented nostril reduction and associated breathing complications. Severity varies. Community naming is still forming -- "Highway Cappuccino" is a working descriptor. Source: Omni Geckos (omnigeckos.com/highway/).

  • Highway Sable

    Compound heterozygote carrying Highway and Sable at the same locus (SA/CAPP/HWY allelic complex). Distinct phenotype from either Highway/+ or Sable/+ alone. Community naming is still forming -- "Highway Sable" is a working descriptor. No documented health issues. Source: Omni Geckos (omnigeckos.com/highway/).
