What it looks like

Whitewall puts solid white on the lower side, climbing from the belly with a scalloped top edge and stopping partway up the flank. It runs between the front and hind legs.

It is the other white trait. A Lilly White whitens the whole animal, head to tail; a Whitewall covers the belly side and leaves the rest of the gecko alone, and it carries no highlighter accent.

How far it climbs varies from gecko to gecko.

In depth

Creates cream/white coloration along lateral (side) edges and body perimeter. Heterozygous shows moderate lateral white; homozygous (Whitewall) shows extensive lateral white, potentially approaching unicolor appearance. Extreme expression of white pattern laterally.

How to spot it

Whitewall animals show cream/white coloring on lateral edges and sides.

Where it came from

Whitewall was identified as a lateral pattern modification form.

How it is inherited

Incomplete dominant: one copy shows, and two copies show more strongly.
