Crested Gecko morph
Crested Gecko (Correlophus ciliatus)
Recessive; dorsum completely filled with pattern, thin base-color stripe down center
Creates pinstripe-like raised scalation across entire body (not just dorsal). Appears to follow recessive inheritance but may be complex. Limited breeding data available. Homozygous expression produces extensive striping.
How to identify it: Superstripe animals show widespread raised scalation resembling multiple pinstripes.
Superstripe follows a recessive inheritance pattern, carried on the Superstripe allele (locus s).
Because Superstripe is recessive, an animal needs two copies of the allele to show the trait visually. An animal with a single copy is called het superstripe (heterozygous). A het animal looks normal but carries the gene, so pairing two het superstripe animals produces, on average, one in four visual superstripe offspring.
