trevorbennett Jul 10, 2003 02:42 AM

would i need to get a super hypo tangerine or could i just get a nice bright tangerine with a reasonable amount of spots??? would it be helpful to get one with a carrot taill too???? i need some help from you guys as far as what i would need, i am on a budjet and i am looking to get what i would need to produce tangerine patternless geckos and nothing more. i meen that if i don't need a super hypo tangerine pleas tell me.

could you guys tell me a good place to find some reasonably priced bright tangerines???

if i got a tangerine male and bred it to both albinos and patternless geckos then bred the hets to each other (tangerine albino het. to tangerine albino het. and so on)could i produce both tang. albinos and tang. patternless geckos?????

thanx for all your help!!!!!!!!!!

I used to have hets for patternless that were produced from patternless to tangerine crossings. But as of cheap tangerines... go with bright orange. I would check the classifieds. Since the patternless gene eliminates all spotting, you dont need the tangerine to be hypo, all that really matters is the intensity of orange. Once you have them breed, the babies should be slightly tangerine but be het. for patternless (pictured is one of my nicer het patts). The only thing is that, people have said they tried this before, including me. I have gotten to the 2nd generation and produced a high yellow patternless but Im not sure if its possible. I find no reason why this shouldnt work though, since there are already high yellow patts, light patts, and midnight patts, so logically tangerine should be possible, which is why I am still going on with this project. As for crossing the tangerine with patternless and albinos, Once you have the babies to those crossing and breed the babies either to each other, or to their parents, then yes, you should get some patternless and albino babies.
Good luck
