This is a lilly white baby i plan to get, and i am wondering if this is a good bet
she is 200$ cause she’s a baby and you cant fully tell until they are older ive seen but she looks like a lilly baby a lot. Would this be a safe bet?

A safe bet as in whether it’s a lilly white or not? You can tell whether it’s a lilly white straight out the egg 99% of the time, the one in the pic is definitely a lilly white.

She’s definitely a LW, a nice one at that.
I really hope thats not her enclosure though 
I am in korea, this is sadly their enclosure since koreas standards when it comes to crested geckos is a lot different from the Americas. It is not the enclosure IM going to personally give her obviously, she will have spacious 10 gallon, or maybe just a little smaller until she is bigger, but will be minimal only cause i don’t want her trying to eat any dirt whilst eating her shed or anything-(dk why im using she tho this is a unsexed baby i just call them she by default.) but yk the classic and safe husbandry for a baby of her size.(also like to note i am not korean, im just here to take some back with me to the states
my goal is to hopefully be able to see at least that one crazy looking one- i thinks its like piebald? Or the one that has a ■■■■ ton of patterns on it? I don’t remember what its called to be honest.)

This is my crested geckos 130 gallon tank…i can’t imagine keeping one in less than 30 gallons? They need the height especially to stay healthy.
That’s a nice looking display, and I agree about the amount of space that cresties should be provided.
One issue I see with the enclosure in the photo is that the waste water is pooled at the bottom and is accessible to the gecko(s). The “bioactive” fad has helped keepers forget some very basic care points (in this case, keeping the animal and its poop as separated as is practical).
Filling in those low spots and figuring out some way to siphon or drain off the waste water would be best, and it will still be very pretty and even more functional. 
I’m so glad someone else here has the same mindset as me regarding bioactive. A few years ago I made a bioactive fad statement and i caught heck for it!

I try to say things that are true, useful, and/or important above pretty much all else. I also generally have supportive evidence in case anyone disagrees. I realize this doesn’t please everyone, and that’s fine. 
To be clear, I keep eight enclosures that anyone would look at and call “bioactive” (I don’t call them that, though). They’re mostly for species that actually need this sort of housing (where ‘need’ = will likely die without it) – dart frogs – and so I think quite a bit about whether certain husbandry methods are actually based on benefits to the animals or on something else.
