The reason we have not yet bred translucent to transulcent is because my bloodline originally started with only one female, so it has taken me 2 years to get that trait into multiple bloodlines to produce hets. The animals we purchased were actually a group (the whole clutch), not just one. Out of that group only 2 animals displayed the gene. Unfortunately those 2 animals did not make it to adulthood. The remaining animals were split into 2 groups. One group bred to the Sandfire line, and the other to our hypo/pastel line. The resulting hets were then bred and the offspring are the animals that we have been selling. This season I will cross translucents from both the Sanfire & Pastel lines into my own bloodlines. Currently I own the only 2 adult translucents, both being female. The black eyes were in both of the imported translucents but not in the imported hets. So far the majority of translucents hatched do have the black eyes or dark eyes to some degree. Some have only sections of the iris being black.
