Facts
Species: Crested Gecko
Name of Gene: Sable
First produced by whom: Cindy Olsen McDannell at Gecko Haven (Rialto)
Year First Produced: 2019
Genetics Type (Incdom/Codom/Recessive/Polygenic/etc): co-dominant, allelic with Cappuccino
In complex with other genes?: allelic with Cappuccino
Other names/aliases for it?: Sable is the only thing
Description: It suppresses less white pattern than the cappuccino gene, and features the same chromatophores (no red bases or yellow/orange bases)
Appearance; What it does/looks like? This is some of the features, but for now we know all of them are from Rialto, not from random appearances in pet stores.
- Head: White spots on head, often
- Body: Pillowy white pattern (unless suppressed by another gene such as phantom)
- Belly: Nothing in particular
- Tail: The tip 1/3-1/2 is typically dark, unless Lilly is added then tail is not dark
Proven Lines: Only those from Rialto, all others must be proven
Related Genes: Cappuccino
Proven: To what degree it is proven out to not just be polygenic? It creates a super form with Sable (super sable) as well as with cappuccino (luwak)
Unique: Why do you believe this is a new morph and not an existing one? Extensive breeding in korea has proven this to be different. It is not cappuccino, because the Super capp Lilly white does (sorak) not look at all like super sable lilly (black legs and tail, lilly white body)
Problems: Any problems? Not that we are aware of
History: The history behind its discovery? Gecko haven produced the first ones, and Moomoosaurus in Korea worked with extensively
Disagreement or Controversy: Some say it’s cappuccino, but with the recent production of a super sable lilly, which looks VERY different than super capp lilly, it seems like the genes have differentiated themselves.
