Are the stripes on an AFT genetic? I'm considering buying a striped, but I'm still just learning about AFT genetics (my thing has been leopard geckos!).

So if I cross a Genetic Stripe male with a Genetic Stripe female, I'll get a Genetic Stripe baby, right?

What if I cross a Genetic Stripe female with a Plain ol' Normal male?

If you are too cross a plain with a striped u will get plains and striped.And if your striped AFTs mother or faqther was a plain,and u breed yr striped AFt with anothere Striped AFT u will get plain and striped.

I hear that if you cross a striped with a plain you get rainbow colors.

LoL Rainbow colors, eh?

Am I to assume from your name (antonym...) that you're always contrary?

So what's the percentage rate on the babies?

I know that if I were to breed a patternless leopard gecko with a het. patternless leopard gecko, then the babies would be 50% Patternless and 50% Het. Patternless (but normal).

Is that what you were trying to explain, how it works with AFTs?

Stripe in AFTs is a simple recessive trait, just as are patternless, albino and blizzard in leopard geckos. So, the percentages of offspring would be identical when crossing hets/normals/homozygous adults.

Okay, thank you!

So if I cross a normal AFT with a stripe, I'll get normal AFT babies that are het. for the stripe, right? Sorry.. I just wanna make sure that I'm not confused at 5:44 AM...

Make a punnit square, problem solved.

LOL no, it's not.. Because you have to know what phenomes are affected by what genomes, what genomes are affected by genomes, yada yada yada... That much I learned trying to find out what happened if you crossed a Blizzard with a Patternless... (Leopard Geckos, that is)!!!
