- What is Empty Back and Super Stripe in crested geckos? What are the defining traits and markers? Are Empty Back and Super Stripe separate genes or the same? How do they interact with each other?
Anthony and Jess from Lil Monsters Reptiles joins us again for a morph chat episode! We don't claim to know everything, but we share what we've experienced and researched in our breeding practices!

AJ is one of the most brilliant minds in the hobby 🦾🫡 very un biased , super observant and hella experienced 🤷🏻♂️ I admire the kid 🫡
^This. AJ is a badass!
With super stripe being recessive, essentially all the hatchlings would be 100% het for super stripe, even in hatchlings that don’t get the EB. All the EB is doing is allowing you to see the het markers, but it doesn’t mean it’s not there. So in theory if you had a 100% het super stripe that’s non EB and you bred it to a “super” EB you should come out with visual Super Stripes. I know there are many recessive’s in Ball Pythons that will show het markers when another gene is present. The only thing that I find super weird is that it needs the EB to be visual in it’s super form.
Am I understanding this correctly lol.
This is one for aj and Anthony to answer!😄
So I have two pairs where it seemed like both parents were supers... but none of the babies were super. So in each pair, at least one must be a dark phantom with pinstriping. It's quite hard to tell! I'm surprised you didn't show any phantoms with white pinstripes, because they can look just like empty back... and even could be, but you don't know until you breed them out.
Then, you get to axanthic... axanthic het eb or eb, how would you be able to tell? Phantom axanthic with pinstriping? Would love to hear about that!
Yes those are hard to tell!
Another great episode!! Thanks
Harry I entirely blame you for sending me down this confusing rabbit hole 😂 You just *had* to have that handsome little het EB on your table 🙄😘
lol lets gooooo!🫶🏼🫶🏼
Great informative episode. Thank you guys for doing reseach to then help inform others on the evidence you found. Definitely was confused on this subject so im glad you guys explained it.
Keep learning!
I just have to thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for continuing to put out these episodes. I've been hospitalized twice in a month with diverticulitis and episodes of the Gecko Pod kept me company while i was missing my Scaly Squad at home. Thank you for continuing to share your knowledge, enthusiasm, and love with the rest of us.
So sorry to hear, Holly 😢🙏🏼❤️❤️ Glad we can nerd out in animals with you!
So weird i legit finished taking care of the geckos the seconds y’all finished talking it was meant to be 😂❤️💯
😂we’ll keep you company through it all!
I know I’ll get shit for this , but what’s the difference between EB and super stripe ? 😬🤷🏻♂️ EB’s pattern or lack of is isolated to just the dorsal …? Super stripe is ….? No pattern All the way to the crest without the “v” at the neck ? I’m sooooo dam confused. 🤦♂️
You’ll have to ping Anthony about this! He loves talking about it😄
How can they be super strip when they are even a full strip 😂😂
This is exactly the episode I wanted!
awesome! hope it's helpful!
It would have been cool to get Hannah from Greeksgeckos in on the conversation@@thegeckopod
28:27 is a beautifully gecko, and het EB makes it even better ♥️
From what I’ve seen of the Super Soft interaction with the super stripe, it makes the dorsal scales in the stripe wider and flatter adding depth to those stripes making it look like a thicker white.
The super soft interaction makes the combos look killer! The drab coloration of the EB gene leave the breeder wanting more for what patterning is left over and softscale and super Softscale enhances all those colors that are still there.
@@AnthonyVasquezEndZz yeah my yellow super soft is extremely vibrant. The whites on the dorsal and lateral are paper white and the contrast of the dark and yellow tigering along with that is really cool. Was able to reproduce it in a couple babies last year.
How do we join the discord? Link on LM website is broken.

❤😊
What I have a hard time seeing is people just labeling “het eb”
My male with a pretty solid (non empty back) dorsum tends to make his kids with decreased back pattern as well but when that happens it basically gives the same vibe as het eb’s would so at what point is what happening?
Basically what is the difference between seeing het eb vs geckos with decreasing pattern?☺️
Good q for Anthony to answer!!
If in Doubt... Breed it Out... We need t-shirts!
Agreed 👏🏻
Tell Lil Monsters to make those shirts 😄
This was a great episode. I’m excited to hear the feedback on the discord submissions. There is always something to learn ❤
I think we still need to get to those!
... should've asked the guy that's been doing it on paper longer than anybody other than AC .. me..
sorry we're way off! we're not sure who's been doing it longer than anybody else.
@@thegeckopod I don't mean it in an offensive manner at all please don't take it as such. I feel like Jessica probably has the best eye out of the four of you at identifying which is which of these phenotype
The term I believe is a very powerful term especially in situations like this where there is no solid concrete answers, most stuff is based on personal research and opinions. Blanket statements stated as fact without a disclosure at the beginning May confuse quite a few people.
Harry I messaged you and AJ on Facebook
Thanks for letting us know🤙🏻
Where can I find these papers!?
