I didnt mean to sound rude either..you may have taken what I said wrong.

Carrot tail itself is a gene..im not sure if it is a recessive gene..but it is a gene. And all I said is that he has the carrot tail gene. If he didnt have the gene..he wouldnt have ANY orange on his tail.

Now my understanding of carrot tail may be different than others, I understand that most people consider the orange carrot only if it has alot..to me that really makes no sense. Amount should have nothing to do with the color. So just to make it clearer, im calling it carrot, when I guess some ppl would call it orange.

So..just to sum it up, I wasnt representing him as a carrot tail...I was just saying he has some carrot on his tail.

I dont know much about recessive genes though, so Im not going to say whether carrot tail is recessive or not. All I know is that all of the females and males with atleast a bit of carrot on their tails that ive bred have produced babies with it also, but I would in no way call them 'true' carrot tails.

And in my understanding, no one has proven whether it is a recessive gene or not, so I guess no one can say.



That leo you posted has the gene..or else she wouldnt have any
