I posted below, but no one answered. : (

I wanted to know how the stripe is inherited....... is it a co-dom, if so is there a super?

I ahev 1.3 stripes and 0.4 blotched....... what kinds of babies should I expect to get from those breedings?

Thanks!!!!!!

You should get mostly striped from the striped group and when you breed the striped male to the orange blotched you should get about 50/50. These guys are still pretty new. It takes years of study to find out how to make breeding an exact science, and we have just started with the tip of the iceberg with these guys. There hasnt been an albino gargoyle or crested born yet.....or has there? Im sure you will be seeing alot of amazing things in the future of rhacs. It will be just like the leopard breeding that has been going for the last 20-25 years to get leopards that looks nothing like what you saw 15 years ago. In less than 10 years I think you will be seeing snow/ghost/albino/super long crests and who knows what else. Hope this helps with your questions.

It's mentioned in the Rhac book that the stripe is a co-dom mutation and that the "super" or homozygous form has more prominent striping, including striping down the tail.
