Is it a Lily?

I was sold this little lady as a NON lily white. But the more I look at her I am just unsure. What do you think? (Lineage photos provided)

If in doubt, breed it out. Pair him with a no/low white phantom and see what you get. Maybe it was more obvious when he was a hatchling that he’s in fact not an LW. Ive seen obvious het EB hatchlings end up with completely solid dorsals due to snowflaking taking over. Usually one of the obvious ways to tell whitewalls and LWs apart is by looking at where the white is located on the lateral, as LW pattern is usually lower down, whereas whitewall pattern in pm in the middle. The white extending from the laterals and down the back legs is another trait that is much more common (but not a given) in LWs. So im leaning towards him being one. But there’s a lot of overlapping phenotypes in crested geckos, so it’s sometimes difficult to say. One reason why i wouldn’t pair a whitewall to a lilly personally, cause you start muddying the waters, and LWs are important to be certain of, due to their lethality :sweat:

The belly is telling me no as belly usually is white (or yellow or cream) in lillies. But could just have very low markings there.

Judging by dad and his whitewall, he passes it on well and some nice snowflaking also on your one!
I had a whitewall that many thought was a Lilly. But he wasn’t. Just really nice!

Who was baby from? As if known breeder I wouldn’t think they’d get it wrong.
But as said. Pair and see what happen there. X
