Depending on the amount of carrot on the tail of the CT gecko it will produce normals and CT's het for albino.

Funny thing about genetics, it is mostly based on probability. Also some genes are linked to other genes, some traits are polygenic (have more than one gene) & a whole bunch of other stuff that would fill up this forum. I would say that little one is not a normal, but it looks like it will be a good looker. Do you have pics of any others from this cross?

Those are really sharp looking! Take some pics of them when they get a little older & the color really develops on them!

blade May 31, 2004 10:30 AM

so any idea as to what the hatchling are or could be labled as ?

hill4803 May 31, 2004 10:56 AM

they look to be super hypo, het for albino. They may show CT later. At a young age it is hard to determine what they will look like as adults. They may also show more tangerine as they grow. I am sure I wouldn't call them normals!

lilroach56 May 31, 2004 12:58 PM

some are probably hypo (under 10 spots) tang het for albino, and some are probably reduced pattern tang het for albino.

Thats a very tangerine albino. The babies are probably tangs.

so you like d the parents,

so if hatchlings sex out as 1.1 do you think it would be worth breeding them together or back to mum or dad

hill4803 May 31, 2004 01:39 PM

All of your geckos are great looking. I would not do any inbreeding with these. Some people will disagree, but I find inbreeding leads to other problems and it is not the best way to produce offspring. Unless you are trying to produce a new morph it is hardly worth inbreeding because there are so many other unrelated geckos out there you could purchase to match up with your offspring. I have been very careful with my breeding colonies, I have records for every purchase & pedigrees for all that I have produced to make sure nothing gets inbred. I have too much time (and money) invested to have a bad genetic trait show up.

blade May 31, 2004 02:01 PM

yup, just food for though really,which was why i started this about the 2 hatchlings up above,
u never learn unless you ask eh

lilroach56 May 31, 2004 03:31 PM

Definately breed the offspring. You will get some awesome tang albinos and maybe a hybino. Inbreeding hasn't produced many bad effects in leos, yet. Hqreptiles has F6 red stripes around that are probably as healthy as any.
