Leucistic Dragon?

pdragon1 Nov 30, 2005 10:48 PM

This is a hypotransluscent female dragon. This animal has a lot of white, which makes it more look leucistic. I guess if it were patternless, I would be on the right track. Let me know what you think. Thanks Randy for helping me with the photos,
Josh

Hi Josh,

How did you breed her?...is this the result of a double het breeding?
If so, you simply have 2 seperate recessive traits in one dragon (Hypomelanism and trans.) like the snow boa has 2 seperate recesive traits.

This dragons is double homozygous, which is something different as leucism.

If would be something recessive in dragons, then i think it have to be single recessive for a chance of being leucistic in the first place.
The genetic makup makes the leucistic dragon (genotype) not a combined genotype and so a combined fenotype that creates a dragon that has a similar fenotype as a true leucistic would have.

The dragon looks really great but i don't think you're on the right track here Josh.

By the way, please check you email, the 2 ladies have to be at Mark Bell's on the 5th or the 6th of this month, they are going to be shipped to europe on the 7th!!!
