Breeding colors and final product

Herp-Keeper Apr 16, 2005 04:53 PM

Hey people,
I was just wondering...
If I breed a normal leopard gecko and a blizzard, what would the babies be? And what would the babies be if I bred a normal and an albino? And what does "het" mean?

Het. stands for Heterozygous. That means you have a normal looking leopard gecko with a special trait, like Albinoism.

If you breed a normal to an Albino ro a Blizzard, you will get all Normal looking babies but they will all also be Het for the Albino or Blizzard.

If you have a Het for Albino breeding to an Albino you will get Half het Albinos and half Albinos.

Here is a quick chart showing Albino parents and babies colors, same thing for Blizzard, Patternless, Bell Albino, ...

Normal to Normal= 100% Normal Babies
Normal to Albino=!00% Het babies that look normal
Normal to Het=50% Normal, 50% Het that look normal
Albino to Het=50% Albino, 50% Het that look normal
Het to Het=25% Albino, 50% Het, 25% Normal
Albino to Albino=100% Albino babies

Sorry its sloppy, ask any questions you got.
