Dan,



The pinstripe is a selectively bred trait, so breeding two good partial pins together will likely produce some babies with a full pinstripe. The trick is to hold onto the babies until they hit about 6 months of age before you call them a partial pinstripe for sure, as the white can take quite a while to develop in some animals. That said, some of the ones you got from me were already showing more pinstriping than their parents, so they may develop a full or nearly full pinstripe as they get older.

>>I was wondering if anyone has ever done any selective breeding with partial pinstripes to get more of the trait or even a full pinstripe. I have a few partials that are sweet geckos regardless, but i kind of wanted to get an idea of what to expect. Thanks
