genetics?

bigdogreps May 21, 2008 09:22 AM

Hello everyone, I got my first pair of leo babies at a show few months back and I am totally hooked. They are growing like weeds mostly due to the fact that I cannot resist their smiling faces as they look up at me for food. I feed them silkworms which they love,crix,mealworms and roach nymphs. A buffet! Anyway,I would like to pursue breeding and was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a good site or a good book that not only explains what the different morphs look like but thier genetics. I would like to know which colors and or patterns are codiminant,recessive,dominant..line bred??! The ones I got at the show I was told were "stripes".They definately have developed no stripes but have just a few dark speckles on what I believe is a hypo backround(lite tangerine/yellowish color)Is this considered a jungle? Please help!
