My previous post got me thinking. What would you get if you crossed a luecistic with a translucent? I imagine you would get all double hets right? But if you bred two double hets together would you get an all white dragon with blue eyes? I was just curious.

Well, seeing as a Leucistic is a Hypomelanistic, and you cross that to a Translucent, you should technically get double hets. Now, I know the hypomelnistic trait is a simple recessive, but I am not 100% sure if the Translucent is, but that is what I have seen. However, when you breed the double hets together, you would get several differnt babie; translucents, hypomelanistics, double hets, and a small number of hypomelanistic/translucent combos. You never know for sure though. I believe Paul Morlock did a similar breeding, but I don't know any of the details. So that is what could happen, but with genetics you can never know for sure without trying it.

Can anyone direct me to a site with definitions or explanations of terms involved in genetics. I come across many terms that I don't know of their definition.

I'm not 100% sure, but it's on my planned breeding list for next year lol. From what I can figure so far it would be all double hets, breeding the double hets is where it could get exciting.
