The third hatchling turned out to be a Cappuccino. Among all the crested geckos I’ve raised at home, this is the first time a Cappuccino has hatched. I’ve had several Lily White hatchlings before, but since this was my first Cappuccino, I wasn’t entirely sure at first.
Looking at its hatchling photos, I felt even more uncertain. Since it also inherited the Tri Extreme Harlequin (TrExHal) trait, it was difficult to tell whether the tiger pattern had developed naturally or if the Cappuccino trait had caused the pattern to fade. The “Y” pattern on the tail was also still small, making it hard to distinguish.
When zoomed in, the tail pattern becomes more visible, but it’s still difficult to say definitively that it has a clear “Y” pattern. The dorsal pattern and coloration are quite unique, with a mix of brindle and tiger patterns. All three trait layers—primary, secondary, and tertiary—are present, and the secondary trait shows a wide range of colors, from light brown to a strong reddish hue.
The lateral tiger markings are also very prominent. The overall body color leans more toward a reddish tone rather than the brown of its mother. Since I don’t have much experience with Cappuccinos, I’m really curious to see how this one develops. One key observation will be whether the dorsal pattern completely fades over time.
This hatchling also has no visible spots. I’ll be keeping a close eye on whether any new spots appear as it grows.
