if you let me know what colors saharans mainly come in, i can better let you know about the rules of genetics... typically, you will end up with a 3:1 ratio. for instance, if orange is dominant, and yellow is recessive, you will end up with 3 orange and 1 yellow. HOWEVER, yellow and orange, in most of any living things, aren't dominant or recessive... my guess is that you will probably end up with morphs.
For fear I get tooo technical on you... thats the most basic basic basic guess i can give you. I'd need much more information, (like if you know his parents colors, what colors saharans typically come in...).
Your lil rico, however, he is SO adorable! How old is he? Did you get him as a CB or WC? Just curious because he seems to have an amazing temperament and personality? Any tips on how you worked with him would be appreciated? Sorry for the long post!

Ok saharans come in basically, Red, yellow and orange...i have seen many more reds...i am not sure about his parents or anything either because he was a WC. A little about rico however, he is a LTC from Doug Dix, I have had him for about a year. He is a really tame guy actually. When i first got him i let him settle in for about a week, then i started to handle him. I started a little at first and got him to the point where i can watch tv on my bed with him on my stomach. He is really good about most things, he is still learning his little harness though. The first time i put that on him he just put up with me. He is a very tolerent little guy but i think being with doug a bit helped!
Thank you!

since they come in mainly red and you are crossing an orange x a yellow... you will probably get a red, a bunch of morphs of yellow and orange, and a yellow. but then again, nature does have its ways.... lol
PS- i got my little guy from mr. doug dix as well, but he is definately stubborn! lol.... ah well, only time and patience i guess. good luck with your
