Curious, Offspring NormalXRed/Gold

Slizarus Oct 08, 2004 07:51 PM

Unlike the leopard geckos who usually don't show any resemblance to a trait they're Het for.. I've noticed Beardies often becoming a sort of Intermediete when breed between two traits, say SnowXBlood.. I'm wondering will the offspring of my Pair N X Red/Gold have any red or gold in their colors? or will they look just like normals?

I'd really be happy to have some exceptional offspring looking like their dad, I love the colors on him

You will probably have a mixture of the two. Some will favor mom and some will favor dad. There will probably even be some thaqt look like both. The traits you are talking about are inherited and the degree of color they will show depends on how the genetic code is passed from the parents to the offspring. I believe that someone posted on here and said that an inherited trait can be pulled from up to like 7 generations back. So really you never know what you may produce. Exciting isn't it? I love the day they finally begin to hatch. Good luck with your babies!

Many thanks! I can't wait, only a month till I can expect hatchlings :D
I hope I get some that look like the father, it'd be nice to have some yellow babies, and to think they're both adopted beardeds!


Forgive the cage lol, day before clean up.. they make a mess fast.

Beautiful Dragons!

Yeah it seems as though all dragons live to make messes lol. Hades will eat, but what ever he has left over after he's finished, he will through all over the cage, just so I have to go pick it up.
