Corss between Regular x Albino?

Gets me a regular correct?

James

Hi James,
Normally, if you cross a normal and an albino you will get 100% heterozygous for the albino genetic trait. That means, in plain terms, a half breed. They will look normal but still carry the albino bloodline.
I say NORMALLY because leopard geckos are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you'll get. So many leopard geckos are produced with so many different genetics that anything can pop out.
For example, Last year, I produced an albino from a tangerine x carrottail and got a tangerine albino carrottail. This year, I got a tangerine albino from a tangerine x tangerine pair. Now obviously the parents were at least het for albino. The carrottail father was from Ray Hine directly and I had no idea his carrottails carried Rainwater albino genes.
It's really a nice surprise to find an unexcpected
albino in the incubator!

gives u both regs and albinos that will be 50% het for norm or albino!!!

Hi James,

You'll get all normal appearing animals, but all of them will be 100% heterozygous for albinism.

If you breed those babies back to the albino parent, 50% of their offspring will be albino, while the other 50% will be hets as well.

You could also breed the het offspring together as well, but the number of albios that you'd hatch out would be lower then that of the Het X Albino breedings.

Hope this helped.

So just regular mandelian genetics then

Thanks
