Breeding/Genetics ??

msaomaha Aug 03, 2003 11:34 PM

Can someone explain to me which genetic traits transfer normally through their offspring in leopard geckos and which just "appear" every once in a while?

Thanks,
MS

all three albino strains (tremper, rainwater, and bell), patternless, and blizzard are all simple recessive genes. Other traits like abberant, hight yellow, tangerine, pastell, carrot tail, striped, reduced pattern, hypo ect.. are heritable obviously since they can be line bred but are generally made with multiple genes and can be unpredictable.
