What baby geckos can I get?

[IHaveNoIdea]

Hey acpart,

I'm planning on breeding geckos on a very small scale. I've got

male Super snow (het unknown, 50g),

female Bell Albino (66% het Radar, 86g) and

female Tremper albino (het unknown, 119g).

What will the babies look like? The male is only 6mo, so I'm not gonna breed them yet, but I'm really curious.

Thank you

They will all be snows because the male will pass on a snow gene to all of his offspring. The Bell offspring will be het for Bell (and may be het for eclipse) and the Tremper offspring will be het for Tremper. The exact pattern will depend on the degree of spotting of the females and whether there is any stripe possibility. It will be really important not to get the offspring mixed up so you know which is het Tremper and which is het Bell

So they will all look like regular mack snows, they will just be hets?

 

[acpart]

That's right, since albino is recessive and it takes a gene from each parent to produce a visible albino.

And what if I wanted to produce Super Snow Albino? And if I bred the offspring together, would I get Super Snows or Albinos?

 

[acpart]

If you bred the offspring (of the same female) together, yes, you would get some super snow albinos. Those would be getting a snow gene and and albino gene from each parent.

Snow x Snow : Mack Snow. Snow
MS X MS : SS, MS
MS X Snow : SS, MS, Snow
and with different probability


since you have 2 Albino Bell and Albino Tremper, don't mating the Bell one with Tremper one. it will ruin the gene line. CMIIW
