Is the stripe variation recessive, dominant, or co-dominant? Also, mine seem to have no interest in crickets. All they will eat is the T-rex mixed with different baby foods. They all appear fat and healthy though. The reason I am asking about genetics is because I have one normal female, two striped females with a little orange blotching and a normal male with red-pink blotching. I've seen the male breeding with one of the stripes already. Thanks for any responses. Tips are welcome and appreciated! I'm really new to gargs, but have been keeping vipers and cresteds for quite some time.

Jack,
You can expect to get a mixture of babies, some striped, some normals.

I have a trio of striped gargs. Out if 15 babies that hatched out so far, 13 have been striped, and 3 have been mottled. I am not sure what you would call that genetically speaking, but I can tell you that stiped parents does not mean all stiped offspring.
