What happens when you cross a leucitic and a tangerine?

So, I am going to a reptile con next month and I’m going to be looking for a leucitic Leo because I really like that pattern. However, I was curious. What would happen if I bred a leucitic to my tangerine.

That's right! They will mostly look pretty much normal. Some may have some tangerine coloring. Some may have speckling because that happens with patternless hets sometimes. They will all be het for patternless (which is what people usually call these geckos; "leucistic" isn't used that often).

Aha! That would explain why I find leos that look so different. I was always curious as to why some looked like albinos and looked sort of olive colored. They sound cool though. My female tangerine is super orange so I’m imagining little Halloween colored geckos which probably isn’t what they’d look like but it would be adorable to see little leos with black spots on an orange base. Thanks for the reply!
