I'm curious as to the gender of the visual babies. I'm not sure it would make sense if its an allele with multiple traits, but I'm wondering if maybe its sex-linked as it seems to be spread by females?



Like I said in my previous post, the father to my F1 black bellies was a solid black belly himself and the mother was not. To further prove that my female did not have any such influence, she's laid 2-3 unrelated clutches afterwards and never once did she produce any more black bellies, the only ones came from that original male. So at least in my animals, if it is sex-linked, it would have to be from my male but I'm thinking it's not sex-linked at all.



It's definitely an interesting and often overlooked thing to experiment with though. Good luck with yours!
