Entry 20Pattern
Marbling
White marks all over, from single flecks to broad blobs.
MWhat it looks like
Marbling scatters white marks across the whole gecko. What sets it apart is the range: single flecks, middling spots and broad blobs on the same animal, few of them the same shape twice.
The dark between the white is the gecko's own base colour showing through, not a marking of its own.
It is closest to Snowflake, which throws marks the same way but keeps them all about one size. Two other differences: Snowflake needs White Pattern underneath it to show at all, where Marbling brings its own white, and Snowflake gathers with Lilly White where Marbling takes no notice of it.
It is simple dominant, so one copy shows it.
It is still the least settled gene here. Only a few generations have been produced, and the founder passed it on without showing it himself, which nobody has fully explained. Expect the drawing to change.
You may see this called Marble. That is the same trait under another name, and a gecko recorded either way is drawn the same.
The series
Same animal, same seed. Only this gene changes. Open any one in the builder.
With another gene
The same gecko before and after.
Beside a Snowflake
The same gecko flecked by Snowflake and then marbled instead. Snowflake keeps its marks to one size; Marbling runs from flecks to blobs on the same animal.

Notes
In the genetics dataCreates orbs and streaks of concentrated solid white patterning, not soft mottling, alongside black-tipped scales freckled throughout and darker scorch marks over the head, neck and dorsal. Only a few generations produced. Early stage research. Marbling most distinct on Lilly White background. May be related to or distinct from Brindle.
Telling it apartMarbling animals show white in every size at once, from solid orbs and streaks down to single flecks, spread across the whole animal. The dark between it is the base colour showing through. Nearest to Snowflake, but it brings its own white rather than needing White Pattern under it, and it takes no cue from Lilly White.
On the evidenceMarbling: early stage research. Only few generations produced. 2025 testing planned. Most distinct on Lilly White background. Source: Foundation Genetics Part 2.2.
HistoryMarbling is very recent discovery, minimal data available.
